Scratch Build – In Progress Project: 4M (9/3 - F I N A L S ! ! !) > Completed

Thanks guys!

Here´s the DIN-trident! And I said I´ll never sleeve First timer here, don´t know the techniques but I think I managed ok.










Had to go through hell just to get the 15 wires through. Came up with a screwing-pushing-technique that worked after a while.




Glue




Some sleeving on the AC too


Mounting of the foot. I´m really satisfied with it. Perfect weight and surprisingly good stability

 

Some really nice work going on here. Really different to most builds..Like it. Top modding dude.

 

looking sweet quizz_kid keep up the good work

 

Your cable work, wood work & ideas are flipping awesome mate, wow.

 

Thank you jeff! I like to differ!

Thanks!

Thanks Waynio. Appreciate it alot!

 

Back piece. Will be painted in a darker brown


Made some holes in the monitor backplate, for 3xDIN and AC


All the wooden parts gather for some of that danish


Ok, almost done now. A few layers of oil, maybe 3 days. Some cable work left, but I feel kinda empty inside already Modding syndrome I guess... It´s been such a lovely project for me, hate to see it come to an end. But putting it together will be fun.

Final assembly coming up, the weekend maybe
Looking forward to it, big time!

 

Weight for monitor. The 30mm hole is for powerswitch


I also finished the joystick






And then I got an idea for front-/back-panel: More circiut-painting!


GOLD!!!




This is what it looks like with/without the decoration


I don´t know. I like the golden circuits a lot. It gives the build itself another dimension IMO.
But at the same time it´s not as aesthetically sparse and could maybe be a bit over-techish for my mom. Thoughts?

 

Love this build as much as all the others you have done. I especially like your way of creating patterns. And I love PCB track art, it looks so damn good.

Btw.. excuse me if I have missed it in the text but when you stain the pattern, do you prep the surface before with anything to prevent the color from creeping under the pattern? Also how do you cut your patterns, laser?

Btw, I bet your mom will love the gold, I think it's something in a womens gene

Awsome build as always, yours are the best woodcomputer builds there is.

 

with decoration for me, might be techy for you mum but have you seen the puter your building for her ???

 

Thanx man! Glad you like my pattern creations. I´m a graphic designer, basically, moving more or less towards more of a product/3D-design and it´s a nice thing when you get an opportunity to combine them both

Regarding the stain pattern making I do not prep the surface at all. I´m just very very careful using a dry sponge with very little stain on it. Same thing with spray, just a very thin layer. But preppin the wood might be a good idea. Got any suggestions?

The stencils are made in a cutter plotter we have in school.

true

 

I´m still confused regarding the front... But maybe I´ll stick with the golden pattern til it´s finished and see then what.

 

This thread is full of WIN!!!!! Mod on brother this looks more than amazing!!!!!!

 

Thanx a lot mate!

 

This is for lighting inside. Cheap LED-stripe in red. Sexy... I like sexy!!


Had to mod the fan controller a bit and extend the knob 15mm


6mm wood plug, a toothpick and some glue did the trick!


VGA... VGA... VGA... Sat more than an hour with this one. Hate 'em!!


Toggle switch for monitors ON/OFF


This is what the cable management looks like from under. Won´t do it again, so I´ll pray for succes Also drilled 15mm holes for furniture pads.


Rubber pads




Put the weight in place and screw it all together.


Mmm... I think I like it!!







Final monitor assembly tomorrow I hope. See you then!!

 

damn that's sweet!

 

That monitor foot turned out really nice. I totally dig the plain and simple LED + switch and how you have made them part of the circuit graphics. Cool idea

 

So much eye candy but not overkill, just perfect mate, looks a beautiful classic piece, I agree with what gnu said.

Ugh, just noticed the stars on this, this is easily a 5 star project.

 

Why is it, that I only ever find these great projects of yours about 5 pages in!? I've missed out on so much.

So I'll just comment on that I've seen on this page:
Absolutely beautiful stuff! Your sleeving is fantastic and the rest is purely marvellous eye candy, a big well done!

 

I just love this monitor stand!

 

This looks fantastic. Your mom will be so happy.
