    I wrapped the endsaround the previous part in the circuit(can you call it that?) and that made it a lot more reliable. Still need to solder here, just showing you how i did the joints(if you can see it!)

    Each led takes 3.6v, so 11v isnt perfect but close enouogh!

    Nice. Glad it worked for you.
    Quick Q. You said you've been working the power sander. Did the pine-sol trick not work for you?

    Simple green isn't near the same. I tried Mr. Clean thinking that might work once and it didn't. Something about the pine-sol makes it work, not sure. I built a huge pumpkinhead figure once and the paint was all screwy so I had to repaint it without just going back over the old paint. My friend is a special effects artist and he said that was the trick they used when a paint job went bad. It works wonders.

    a possible brush effect, i don't think im going with this though. I think im giong to sand vertically with 120, then try to get the lines as straight as i can get them with 200 or 220
    so untill next time... im teyb bergundy

    Another stupid question from tribal,... how he die? I have to admit,... I want to go my hair long too BUT! My hair gets curly at a certain length:( WhenI was younger,... and before I shaved my head for the first time,... my hair was as straight as my recently cut aluminum panels and thin too! So nice. After I shaved my head,... curly and thick as hell! I went for a hair cut once,... the chick that was cutting my hair got stuck with one of my hairs. No lie.

    im not sure the macro distance on my cam cam, i just know its a telephoto lol! to lazy to find the lense that came with it...

    And he(dan) invented a sort of "slack line" dohicky where he could jump down huge clifs. Friction screwed up and the rope snapped, he died. Watch this one, about 2 or 3 minutes into it...
