Steampunk Sonic Screwdriver
This is what I like to refer to as a Steampunk Sonic Screwdriver. I based the Idea of a picture posted here on Flikr by one Jared Axelrod found here: www.flickr.com/photos/planetx/2198948365/ and using his picture as a guide I built mine.
I like to think of this as a precursor to the current Sonic Screwdriver, as a bridge between the older styles and the newer and would be used by the 8th Doctor during the Time War.
It's basically plumbing hardware with custom fit electronics inside a brass tube to make the light work. Also used is an actual Sonic Screwdriver toy blue lens on the tip that just happened to fit perfectly in place there.
I did have to machine a few parts custom like the button which is stainless steel and the brass trim ring it is set in as well as the parts holding the hardware in the back in place almost dome completely with the solder and blowtorch method.
I've seen some amazing sonic screwdriver replicas and customs, and I've seen some amazing Steampunk versions, but I hope mine is a great addition to the fan made, Steampunk Doctor Who props as well.
