Subject: RE: Tech: How can I make my own set of Bones?
Doin' it the hard way:
Wire strips of steel,cut a quarter inch below the length you want, below a buoy or float that is anchored fast to the sea floor. Connect the positive and negative leads from a set of batteries (direct current works better than alternating - by the way, be careful not to shock yourself) to the strips and wait. Within minutes you will see bubbles coming off the strips. Limestone in the sea water will accrete on the strips. Sand them smooth. Eureka - Stone Bones!
