Sterling silver custom bubble strip for Graflex!
« on: June 17, 2009, 03:07:15 PM »
Ok so I am a jeweler and today as I was messing around with my Parks Graflex I got a very good idea! I took off the bubble strip and made a sterling silver replica set with real red carnelian gemstones!! I sat down and could only stop to take a few shots with my crappy iPhone camera but I hope they look ok and I will update some better ones as soon as my girlfriend gets home with the camera. There are holes drilled under the stones to allow LEDs to light up the stones! I would love to see this one in a saber with blinkies under the clamp. I need to figure some pricing first becuase these are not going to be as cheap as the plastic bubble strips, but let me know if anyone would be interested in one for their Yoda Graflex or any other saber. Hope others are as excited as I to add some BLING to their  Graflex as I am!!
Here are all the parts before soldering.
 
Here is the two side by side comparison

And the finished piece!






My graflex is really blingy now! ;D 8)

I do that sometimes. I work for a bank and when I'm talking to people about their accounts I'm imagining how many sabers they could buy...  :)

Seriously though, that looks pretty sweet.
