The Infamous Hickspodisk

I was requested to show how I put together my version of the infamous Hickspodisk.



Materials:
Acrylic diffuser material for 2 ft X 4 ft flourescent light from Home Depot
72-77mm Step up ring
N95 respirator mask by 3M
Promaster 72mm UV filter
77-72 Step down ring

If I had bought a 77mm UV, I would not have needed the step down ring.

I traced the front opening of the step up ring on the acrylic, scored it with a razor ( box knife ) then snipped off the outer parts using wire cutters. I rounded and smoothed the edges using a dremel tool so it would fit inside the front of the step up ring. I then superglued the acrylic in place. Then I cut the filter to fit the inside back of the step up ring. Screwed it all together and - Kazammm - it's a Hickspodisk!
