Scratch Build – Complete ⭐ Project - The Next Level - Winner MOTY 2012 -

This build looks more like a prototype for a final retail version than "just" a personal moded desktop, the manufacturing is that good...

 

Subbed out of pure jealousy of the tooling you have to hand.

Keep it up fella!

 

no kidding. Any modder could lust after having that kind of a setup at your disposal. Makes any homemade attempts at metalworking look feeble at best. Very nice welding nonetheless.

 

I hope it will.

Thanks mate i sure will look at them.

Thanks xSoMBrAx.

Thanks jeckulz.

Thanks voigts.

 

Also subbed but purely out of jealousy! I love my workshop, but yours makes it look like a garden shed so I have to watch. That added to the fact that this just looks awesome! I love the idea and the speed at which you work is just phenomenal!

Subb'd

 

Thanks wejjy and its not my shop but the shop of my boss and yes im very lucky i can use it any time i want.After 22 years i still love to fabricate.

 

After 22 years you still love your job...
Aluminium (not aloominum) filings in this mans veins!

 

Let me say i love to design and fabricate. Aluminium in my veins hahahaha.

 

I'd like one of these .... not because I'm going to water cool anything . I'd just like one , I'd take it everywhere with me

Stunning work

 

Thanks bugeye and if you want i will make one for you do you need a chain also.

 

No need for a chain ... I'd never let go of it

 

@Kenny - I thought that res looked familiar. That's it. I'm moving to The Netherlands.

 

Oke no chain then.

If you want i build one for you that way you save yourself a trip to the Netherlands. To be honest Kenny only used 1 of the 2 i made so he must be hiding the second one somewhere.

 

Oh snap

i got both in eye-sight

 

Nice one K.3nny.

 

Update 5. 19 Feb 2012

This weekend i made some progress again.This week i received the security part for the desk.
Its a hose full of little switches and if 1 switch is pressed then the columns stop moving and go up for about 50mm.

The package.







Linak also gave me a special connector to connect the jackplug.I already test it and i will make a short movie soon.



Thank hpr and specially marc.



Also linak called when they seen the update with the lifting column for the screens and told me that i can mount the column up side down because im using it for lcd panels.So i made a bracket for it and mount it on the frame.







Cheapskate asked me why use stock gear and not making a custom stainless steel reservoir so i came up with a new reservoir design.

First i made a few covers on the lathe.Then i drilled and tapped them with g1/4.



Then i saw 4 pieces of 60mm stainless steel pipe.





Then i spotwelded the covers on the pipes and finisht welding them.





Some sanding.







Then i spotwelded the pipes together and finsht welding them.





Then i welded the feet and did some polishing and this is how they look.Custom 90 degree stainless steel reservoirs.











More to come.

 

You got magic solderskills!

 

Shiiiiiiiit !!!! Thats some tasty handiwork wow wicked welding skills..

 

The best part of all your builds is the little unique design elements that you come up with.

 

truely amazing mate your skill gets me every time
