How To Make a Green Lantern Ring
Malfourmed writes "Step by step instructions for making the ultimate comic book geek jewelery — Green Lantern's power ring. Hal Jordan, Kyle Rayner and Alan Scott variations all included. Now someone find me a Katma Tui or Arisia to go with it, and we might just have ourselves a proposal!" The bigger problem of course is that there's no battery available to charge it, so it's just costume jewelry. Anyone have other good costume ideas?
Is it because he's black? Also, these rings seem to be lacking in actual power, so I'm rather disappointed.

Attached a wire to the ring, stick the wire into the wall outlet, and get the charge of your life!
John Stewart uses his ring to fight loud mouthed conservative polititians. He wanted to avoid the politics.
This guy wanted to dress up as the Thing (from the Fantastic Four); But the endresult somehow reminds me of a Cheeto in spandex. Still great effort though. :)
when you can go to garage sales and buy up 1,000 old watches. Just scrape off the radioactive materials and cement them on your power ring.
After how badly I got ripped off on my "one ring". Geez, for 300 USD you expect for it to at least work. That was so embarrassing.

Well sure, if you happen to have a selfcontained, portable nanotech delivery system for electromotive force just lying around the house.

Given the lack of connections to the Oa battery, can't you possibly get its green energy from kryptonite? At least that stuff is found on THIS planet. An added bonus is that it can help you ensure that you are the only superhero guarding sector 2814.
Where were you when the voynix came?
It sure made $39.95 disappear from your sight, didn't it?

I'll stick with my MOTU Warrior's Ring. It was an included accesory with Trap-Jaw in the 80's. Not only does it glow in the dark, it also has a little compartment inside where you can store tiny notes. Sure the compartment is not as large as the pocket on a pair KangaROOS, but there's enough room in there to store your locker combo, or a reminder to buy more Hubba Bubba.
At last i can put that green Ferris jeweler's wax, A furnace , a centrifugal caster a bunch of spare silver to good use.. And to think, i was just about to throw it all out.

From the article:
First you need to carve a wax model of the ring. I use green Ferris jeweler's wax- it's available from jeweler tool supply shops
OK. Without using Google, how many people know of any jeweler tool supply shops? I must have missed this one....

I want step-by-step instructions on how to make a glowing piece of the radical rock..... THE AGGRO CRAG.

You could always make it out of plutonium. It'd glow nicely then. Wear it for long enough and you might get superpowers.
But I thought that all tech men carried batteries?
