Kurt Posted September 7, 2011 Author Posted September 7, 2011 That's fantastic! How did you do the hex pattern? Well I struggled a bit to come up with a good way to do it. Way back when Jung had shared that he modified a hole punch with a piece from an allen wrench. Played around with that but could not get a nice clean cut. I searched high and low praying someone made a hex shaped hole punch. No such luck, in this size anyway. So what I finally settled on was taking a section of brass hex shaped tubing. You can find this size at any hobby shop. I then ground the sides to make it as sharp as I could without thinning it too much. I then layered some tape on a wood cutting board and proceeded to punch the hex tubing into the tape. You can only do 3-4 layers at a time to get a clean cut. Then you have to peel each hex shaped piece of tape off the board and place on the valk. Not difficult, just tedious. There may be a better way, but that is what I came up with without spending too much time on a solution. Quote
