So I had ideas of making my own poppers and such. Tried a sample with a dremmel. Went and bought a small lathe. Better. Read you guys painting and such ...... Go buy a Iwata eclipse today....... Have some home work to do. But some fun work it is. Thanks all for the inspiration you gave to someone you don't know and gave me the extra push to go for it. Let's see if I can paint!!!!! I'll post some crummy bs pics in the following days of me messing around. Thanks all. I'm into this little idea now for about 800 bucks and still don't have a popper ( complete one at least!). Could've just bought one,,,,, but why? Great site here, great site. Working on some diff kind of popers(!!!!!!!!!!!!!) John | ||

| You're in for 800!? I was down almost 5K before I decided I was ready  . I will admit it had alot to do with reconfiguring an area for a shop but bottom line it was driven by the "Urge"  Tip; forget the money, remember; you will not meet a better bunch of guys anywhere! | ||

BUT, after I left the present supplies order on my 'puter desk she asked, "Is THIS how much it costs to make plugs?" Of course my responce was, "Sure, and whenI sell a few they'll pay for themselves!" How many of ya have used THAT one? | ||
