BTW, this gauges my interest. How many people would be interested in getting parts anodized? I would pick up the stuff to strip the old anodizing, then polish the pieces, and obviously anodize them. Let me know on this, I think I want to start anodizing...

I know Dynoman does anodizing, but the problem is you have to do the prep work. I would buy vibratory tumblers to polish all of the parts up before they were anodized, this will give the best look once the pieces are finished. I think I'll pick up all of the necissary stuff to anodize out of my next paycheck

I used the focuser page, it was really helpful. My biggest problem was attatching the wire to the piece. If there was some way of making screws that were attatched to wires, without soldering them, it would be a lot easier, you could just screw into a hole on the part.
Its was a lot of fun, but it was pretty boring. And also, you dont get any anodizing on the spot where you attatch the wire. Im sure there is some way aroud that, though.

I do my own anodizing, and by far the most popular color is Blue, then Purple then Red. I only do those 3 and black; they seem to be the most popular colors (alloys?)

If I were to do anodizing, I'd offer those colors, but I would offer an array of other colors to get out of the ordinary as well. Blue and purple have been so over done, and red is headed that way soon too. There needs to be options to get away from looking like everyone else.
