A different laser project

[Robert Alexander]

I was asked to make a box from a old broken dynamite plunger for a neighbor for his father for a gift. I used a free box maker program, to make the box and some 1/4 inch plywood veneer. I mixed in some black shoe polish and added some chips and scratches to make it look old and then lasered it.

Looks Great!! Nice work.

[Dan Hintz]

I'll bet the recipient has a blast with it... being able to push the plunger should give them a real charge :D

[Frank Corker]

Nice job, a real cracker!

[Larry Robinson]

You did a BANG up job on that.:D

Very nice.

[Craig Matheny]

I bet it is smashing up close.

[Larry Bratton]

Ahhhh Shoot! That's purty! Love it!

[Jiten Patel]

That looks "DA BOMB!"

[Mike Null]

Definitely a Nobel achievement.

[Albert Nix]

Great, I love it!!!

[Mike vonBuelow]

Clever!

I knew this thread would SPARK some witty CHARGES

[Greg Bednar]

I'm simply blown away.

[Dan Hintz]

Maybe this project will spark some fresh ideas in people... that's my theory, anyway. I'd call it the Big Bang Theory, but that seems to be taken, so the idea kinda fizzled out.

[Lee DeRaud]

Some people think outside the box, some just blast their way out.

[Chris DeGerolamo]

Definitely a Nobel achievement.

Cool.. Back in the 80's I used to keep a Dupont 50 cap pushdown generator like yours beside my desk at the college. (one of the courses I taught was safe blasting techniques).. Every one that came into my office would, after a short time, stare at the machine.. EVERYBODY wants to push one of these down.. ha. I would take my foot, and shove it over towards them as say "go ahead-- I know you want to".. You give only one instruction for proper use, and that's "try to knock the bottom out of the box" Everyone had a grin a mile wide.. Yup their fun.. And yours looks really nice...

Thanks for all the nice comments from everyone.

Bill your right about everyone wanting to try it. I might make one for myself, But hook it up somehow to one of those exploding boxes make with a mouse or rat trap. I guess we all have a little Wile E. Coyote in us.

If you do make a 'working model' - make sure you get a camera when the 'pop' happens - sure to be a winner!
