I have been working at this thing for about 3 weeks now and after an all day building binge, at last it lives. A couple are with a LED light set under it. Unfourtunately I have no skills in electronics so it is a non working piece but I think it looks good. Let me know what you all think. photos.yahoo.com/peterstannard3

It is a cube inside a cube with a blue crystal in the middle of it all.

Verry cool !
I like the design. Is the cube glass or plastic?

Thank you everyone for the compliments! Both cubes are 1/4 in plexiglass. the etchings were done with frosted glass spray paint. The seams are solder, it gives it some unwanted weight.

Ah frosted glass spray paint... good solution.
I was just studying a picture of the holocron in the Visual Dictionary, wondering how I'm going get it etched. I was thinking about buying a chemical etching kit, kinda like how you would etch a plate for intaglio printing... paint sounds like a preferable alternative for a first attempt at a holocron.

I found working with the spraypaint to be very easy and quick. The hardest part was cutting the stencil.

I came up with that same idea a few months ago, a golf ball cube within a baseball cube, with clear rubber bumpers between the 2.
I have yet to put one together though. Yeah, I'm a slacker.
Is your lightsource in that one pic underneath? I don't think it's actually inside it, is it?
Very cool, by the way.

He put clear, square rubber furniture bumpers in between the two cubes. I was thinking about frosting my whole cubes and buying a sheet of styrene from a hobby shop and cutting and painting designs to glue onto my Holocron.
I just got this thing called a Pumpkin light today. It's just a plastic base with a red, green and blue LED, that cycle on and off, with a reflecting surface underneath.
It's meant to go inside a carved pumpkin, instead of a candle.
I was thinking of painting this thing black and using it as a base for my Holocron. I have a thing for stuff that has lights in it.
