Yeah it's a LITTLE thin but it will be fine if you glue it in.

how u etching these?

EliteGamer83 · « **Reply #34 on:** March 25, 2009, 06:03:53 PM »

I made a video,

kind long though and still in the camera, I use a drill press, different types of bits, my hands and a dremel with pen, sanding, grinding, and cutting discs.

But after I shape the circle I just drag it around under my drill press and before I start that I lightly etch outlines with a pen knife

Hey guys..I was gluing my jewel in place with some super glue and I got it in and all but i accidentally got a bit of glue on the jewel. You cant really notice it unless you look for it but I just want to try and get it off. What works well to get supper glue off acrylic if anything?

i heard stories that glass etching could possibly work but then i heard results it doesnt. i also searched one time and found that nail polish remover works as well if you leave under a ho lamp then whip it away but i tested no good.
elite you can get plexi glass at home depot for couple bucks 11x8 sheet

38 gauge holy crap that must be thinner than a strand of hair. You better be careful though cause if you put more than a led or two you will need thicker wire. But to go with this topic i saw that kid with the silver psp with a ring of light looked like he had cut the psp letters out and thats what i wanna do either what he did or just cut the letters out and put some leds behind them. It would be hard but i thought about doing the same with the psp on the front over the home bar strip.

hey 38 works for me.
yea i did that i drilled out the letter to have the leds shine behind and show the psp working.

wait on glass or plexi glass cuz it work on glass then again why would you want a glass jewel...

krazyone2006 · « **Reply #51 on:** March 26, 2009, 12:31:23 PM »

yeah the first time you drop that psp the glass jewel is going to shatter or sit it down to hard on the jewel and its history

I wanna see some pics of the router'ed out PSP letters.

Its a cool concept but the PSP letters are just too small to be able to work on them, in my opinion.

with a small dremel cut off wheel or even a drill bit you could cut out the basic shape and then file it off

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #56 on:** March 27, 2009, 12:05:10 AM »
