[quote TRUBBS]Thank you for the tips! I'll be doing it all out of aluminum & polishing it before putting the glow tape on it. [#000080][#0000bf]Polish just to make a good smooth surface for the tape to stick. Shiny for looks means nothing down deep like that.[/#0000bf]

How big would you say the toaster sides made the blades? 5" or so? [#0000bf]They were 7" the long way and 4" the narrow way. Try this site for a pattern:[/#0000bf]

So I'll want to make them "corkscrew" thru the water turning opposite of the blade in front of each one? [#0000bf]That is exactly right. "Twist" one in one direction and the one behind it in the other direction. But it only take a VERY small amount of twist to get them to turn a lot. The more they turn, the more drag you will have. And brother, it's a "drag"![/#0000bf][/quote]
