Tonights Episode will be called "Fun With Circles" Thats right Ghostheads, its cyclotron time! First i laid out a 10" cirle and then a 9" circle inside it to act as the cyclotron step. I began cutting the 9" circle first using a No15 Xacto blade.....

Took a little bit of time and effort, but I got a decent circle out of it.

I laminatd the new circle on top of the one that I cut outta the sync/gen so I could get the right thickness to sand in the contour.

I cut a 2" strip from the styrene sheet and bent it around a section of 3" PVC. then I used the cut out section as a jig to hold the wall in place while I glued it all together........

Repeated the process with a .275 strip to get a .5 high step around the cyclotron

And with that I got a rough cyclotron assembly ready for a lot of sanding and contouring....

And now for the money shot.....its really looking like a proton pack now!
