Marking Coil for better sight view.

[woodknack]

Hey guys I have a 7" compadre. I wanted to mark the coil for a better sight picture. I really didn't like the tesoro sticker on the coil, plus its winter and I am cooped up and bored!

Before


Time to take the sticker off. I used goo gone to do this.


All cleaned and the coil marked.


I used red electrical tape as my sticker. I used a hole punch to make the dot for the center on the coil.


Then just cut 3 other pieces in a pie shape.


And the finished product. I may change the 3 red triangle pieces later with some lightning bolts like Digger27 suggested! This was just something to do to kill some time productively.

Looks fast...like a race car.
Need a number on the side and some sponsor decals.

Lol . after I finished I remembered my wife has one of those cricket machines. I'm not sure I really like the red color of the tape. I'm thinking black would be a better color then red.I'll have to see if she has some lightning symbols on a Cricut machine ,I might be able to print off.I'll have to check the stuff out tomorrow when I have more time.

Found all my wife's cricket stuff but no black vinyl. Also she didn't have a card to cut out what I wanted. But she did have some red vinyl ( go figure, ). So I traced out some lightning bolts free hand and cut them out the OLD fashion way, With scissors ( thats right no CNC machine for me folks). Now its ready to zap and suck those coins and jewlery out of the ground!

Now it looks dangerous.
Are you sure it is safe to hold this thing?

Nope can't do that. I'd be tempted to shoot at it with the real thing. That's another hobby I really enjoy, target shooting. But again it's been so dam cold and to much snow to get out to the range.
