bob Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 ok I hope this works.Mods if this is a really bad tutorial please delete it, thanks.BobStar Screens.docx
BlastFromThePast Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 I think it's a good tutorial. I really like the use of the 1$ Frisbee. One question I have is why do you wet the paper? Is that just to make it "stick" a little to the plastic?
bob Posted May 16, 2013 Author Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) Thanks BFTP I was kind of worried that everybody was going to hate it.Yes wetting it is to get it to stick to the plastic so it doesn't move around well your drilling the holes, you don't want to use glue or any thing like that cause then it would be a real pain to get off.bob Edited May 16, 2013 by bob
Bobosan Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) Is a good, cheap & simple star screen. I like it! Thanks, Bob. I hate having to use an exacto knife or blade to remove plastic burrs. If you are very careful doing this, a larger drill bit can be used to chamfer the hole edges and remove the burrs. I think the hardware stores sell various sizes of real deburring bits.

BlastFromThePast Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Yeah de-burring can be a real pain in the ass. I'll probably just buy a brand new drill bit to do this and make sure its got some good backing, but again, very nice tutorial. I also like the simplified yet neat layout you did in MSword
mikeee Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Nice tutorial!You can use the same process on a plastic bucket, just cut the bucket down to about a 2" or 3" from the bottom.
pyrowinner Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) You can see the arrangement of buckets for separate the various sizes of stars at a same time. NHT.wmv Edited May 17, 2013 by pyrowinner
bob Posted May 18, 2013 Author Posted May 18, 2013 I like your star screens Pyrowinner. I'm trying to think of a way to have a electric shaker in a tube that my frisbees sit inside, I know that's probably over kill for a star screen but it would be cool. bob
TYRONEEZEKIEL Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 This is relevant to me as I just got gypped by Mumpyro for my star screens
AzoMittle Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I am getting a "document corrupted" message on trying to open it. Can anyone confirm if the original file is still working or not?
asdercks Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 This a really good idea, thanks for sharing this tutorial
AzoMittle Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I downloaded & opened it to verify for you. Works.B! I figured it out. When I downloaded the file the extension was changed to "Star Screens.docx.doc", if anyone else has this problem it is easily fixed by changing the file extension to simply .docx Thank you for checking Mr.B
screwloose Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 new member, trying to get access, interested in the star screen doc, but won't let me access it, hoping replying will get me started, thanks
zombiesDONTwipe Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 This tutorial is very informative, creative, and well thought out. I will probably be making a star screen like this in the following weeks.Thanks for the info, Zach
