Trent what did you use for the caps inside the larger holes. I'm not a saber swinger so I'm not sure on the terms. Looks like a plastic cap of some sort. Im gonna bash one. thanks!!

[troopertrent]

LOL, they were actually the caps from the little bottles of bubbles you give away at weddings. had a couple around the house when I was trying to find something the right size. You can pick them up at walmart in the wedding section. 24 of them for $3.00 You need 8. Just pull the cap off, pull the stem/loop off the cap, snip off the tab on the side with an exacto knife, and punch through the center with a dremel cone sander until the hole is the right size.

[troopertrent]

there is a small lip on the cap so if you trace around the cap on the sphere and dremel just on the inside of your trace line, the cap will snap in perfectly and you don't have to worry about it falling in.

[troopertrent]

Bland? you actually took the energy to post a comment with the sole purpose of complaining that the music was NOT BLAND enough for you?

Oh my God, I think my brain just blue-screened.

Now that was cool

[AngusAntilles]

That's the coolest thing I've ever seen, lol. Very resourceful!

It'll spin forever (as long as it's plugged in). The magnets ocilate inside and work with the magnet inside the globe to keep it spinning. There's a switch that you can set it to spin either clockwise, counter-clockwise, or no-spin. I just spin it at the beginning to get it going.

maybe he was referring to magnets
