    Cool. Hope they arrive safely. like I said, there are a few really good ones. Some which will surprise you that it looks like that. Some of the less effective ones look good used dual, one stationary and one turning.

    You can either get a diamond bit and drill a hole in each or glue a hub on it (like Displaser-Greg) does on his kits. Either way you can change them out quickly. I took the ones I liked and cut them so they were square

    There are acutally a couple of things I am going to try. Slow rotating looks good and I will have a few rotators but one of the other things I am going to try is slow pivoting on x and y axis of the glass. Rather than changing patterns, I have noticed more of a swirling action. Not sure just how I am going to do it yet, but it is something I am working on. Give it a try. Try to just pivot it in x and y the same way an MM mount does with a mirror, it gives a really awesome swirling effect, amost like churning laser water or laser smoke. I have found that glass that gives a very wide throw undulates the best. Building a rig to accomodate this kind of lumia... that is going to be the trick!

    another awesome trick is to *slowly* counter rotate two wheels. that's one of the things i did in my lumia eggbeater.

    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
