Scratch Build – In Progress Project Griggles (formerly Barry White) - on the back burner for a while

Looking good Carrie, I still love that blue, it's a pukka colour.
it's all looking very tidy, nice work girl.

 

Shaping up very nice indeed. White and blue is a great combo (even if i am bias!)

 

Yep coming along nicely

 

Whoa! Seasonic makes Pico PSU's?

 

Looks very well planned

 

You won't be saying once I've squeezed that psu in there with all those cables. It's great that it's small (150 x 81.5 x 40.6 mm) and an 80+ but it's technically a 1U rack mount psu and not modular. I can't cut back the cables I don't need now though because I'll need them later when I swap out the hotswap

Thanks Bobby White and blue is a great combo as evidenced by your terrific looking build Alpine White TJ07 (if you haven't seen it click here to view http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=241495 ) but mine's not actually going to be white. As lovely as that would look it's going to be sitting in full view on a cream cabinet so that's a for me on this occasion. Damn, for a moment there I thought maybe next time. No no no no no

Thanks dearest

I don't think they do.

Thank you for saying so Believe it or not it's taken a lot of time and effort. It's a serious b*tch rough-drawing and rotating components and the case in Sketchup to arrive at the best layout in the smallest space whilst still to be able to get access to everything inside when needed. Hopefully it'll work in practice as well as it does in my head

 

I'm trying to be patient Carrie, but its been a week. When's the next update?

Even Jeff's been posting updates

 

I deliberately did nothing on it over the weekend just so you'd have to wait I do work for a living you know but I'll be back on it this weekend and it should be finished within 2 weeks Even Jeff took time off from his build - about 2 months wasn't it

 

Lazy wench lol

 

Oi, don't blame me madam.. the chief designer buggered off out with his mates and then the football season started.

 

I was merely following your example, just not as far as the pub And less of the madam thank you

 

needs some metalic orange x

 

Not going to happen, even in your wildest dreams!

 

I get an updated notification for Project Barry White, and I see the most recent poster is Carrie - woohoo! Progress!

Oh, wait, no. No progress, just a post.

 

Well pardon me for not working on it in the office, Spreadie and Yehbaby it doesn't matter how many times you rep me to get on with it I'll do it when I can

I have managed to do some work on it today though

The trim turned up without fixing holes



But that's been sorted now:



And I've veneered the outside of the box and the lid now:







Now what's going in the cut-outs in the lid is capped dichroic glass. Since I don't have a kiln Teelzebub very kindly offered to make them for me (thanks sweetie ) So here they are.

Dichroic and capping glass cut to size:



In the kiln, ready to be fired:



And this is the finished article - you can never tell quite what colour they're going to come out and it changes according to how the light hits it.



Thanks again Tel. You're an angel and you did a brilliant job

Now tomorrow I'm thinking of spraying the outside of the box black

 

Sparkly!

How did you do the lid, Carrie? Did you cut the triangles right through and then glue a bottom piece on?

 

Router and a chisel to finish it off I don't like routers but hate jigsaws even more, hence the angle grinder for the case chop!

 

mmm, sparkly. Dichro glass is awesome.

 

Looking very very good mother goose

Carrie, it is only very friendly encouragement, honest I'll stop doing it so you can work your magic and save it for the finished product

This is looking very good. I like the idea of using glass
