Would be really cool to simulate Orthopedic Pins instead of those skull thumbscrews. Check out the kick ass hardware on that site. You could probably fashion similar looking hardware with aluminum stock and a few rifler files.

EDIT: Hell I'll turn some cool looking bolts for you on my new lathe--just come up with some ideas.

Very cool idea about using orthopedic pins. I would never of thought of that. I'll look on the website and see if I can come up with anything. Thx for the great idea, that'll add some great detail to the project.

EDIT: I could use orthopedic pins for my BareBone Case mod too. By the way C.S. did you receive the e-mail I sent you about the heart pump idea?

[Crimson Sky]

Yeah I got that PM about the heart model. Not sure what effect you want with it--explain

If I were to make a heart model that inflates and deflates slightly, I'd cast it in rubber and fashion a simple slow-moving cam/motor assembly that sucks and pumps air.

I have several of these suckas in my ankle from a motorcycle accident.

Well I've come up with some ways to use some Orthopedic Pins & Parts. I can use the same kind of brackets that Crimson Sky has in his ankle for the acrylic panel and speaker brackets.

Also instead of boring looking alan screws I could use a smaller replica of these T-shape handles or this hip part to secure the panel and brackets.

I really like this hip piece used as a screw but I'm not sure how hard it would be to make.

Well this is all that I got down this weekend. I broke the backbone down to separate pieces and tagged them so I won't get confused when I try to put it back together again, no Humpte Dumpte here.

Then I took a closer look at each part and noticed that since I bought a 4th quality grade skeleton they didn't clean it up very well after they took it out of their mold. So I had to brake out the dremel and clean the pieces up myself.
Here are some before and after shots. You can still see some of the lines from the mold but it isn't as noticeable as before.

This is gonna be good.

[Crimson Sky]

I'm gonna turn a miniature version of this right now on the lathe to see what i can do.

[Crimson Sky]

Well here's the one that I whipped up--I made it like a little thumbscrew First thing I ever made on the Unimat.

How many do ya need?

[DaveW]

That's sweet Crimson! You the man!
