[QUOTE="Kissker, post: 51009, member: 560"] Extra tips and help is required... seems I dont have the best supply stores around me. Iam going off of [url="http://www.tk560.com/vactable4.html"]http://www.tk560.com/vactable4.html[/url] , but I ran into some snags... A) cant find any way to weld the frame , maybe some sort of wood can withstand the heat?? B)nichrome wire.. how much do i need... i assume 81 feet is UNCOILED, also... if i were to coil it myself.. would it have to be one BIG LONG HUGE coil, or would from each post work? wich brings me to C) 60 bucks for 60 pegs PLUS SandH is REDICULOUS, is there a substitute to use for the ceramic pegs? perhaps electric fence things? other then that I think I have it.. some modifications in size might be made.. but. overall... Maybe Ill re design it or something with cheaper materials.. lol... give me input people, i dont know a thing about wiring (well.. a little) and I dont want to blow it up and kill me or worse... hurt someone else (my life matters not in the sake of costuming.. but if innocents were harmed.. id be devestated) besides.. ive been hit by 2 cars.. ive lived through suicide and drowning.. and a 20,000 volt electrocution... Iam pretty sure when I die it was just "my time" . [/QUOTE]
