Scratch Build – In Progress The Shrine (update 24/3 COMPLETED! photos and video)

Hardware mounting looks interesting, nice progress quizz.

 

It´s called a zink machine(or dovetail machine), and it´s for wood... You use it for all kind of milling, but mainly for copy production and dovetailing I guess. Best machine EVER!!

Thank you mate =)

 

fabulous work so far! I like the color/material scheme as well.
I'm not sure about the stand - I'll have to wait and see what you had in mind. (an idea: Google "twisted trunk" --> maybe something along those lines - with a mix of copper wire/tubing, black wire, and walnut wood...)

 

Thank you Karrek, glad you like it! I'm not sure about stand myself. The twisted trunk idea is a nice and very interesting idea, but I'm looking for something "less interesting" and sparse here, something very simple. Going to keep it in mind though. And I might use that for another project.

 

Insanely nice woodwork!

 

Again, this is a very neat idea AND goes very well with the concept. Mayyyybe... Hmm.

Well thank you, Jipa!!

 

I thought I´d try the lazzzer today...


I wanted to try modding the GPU a bit, so I made two new acrylic fan mountings, replacing that big ugly black plastic... Also cut some I/O extensions from 4mm MDF while I was at it.


GPU before


GPU after


From above...


I like it, the clear arcylic pieces are almost invisible when the fans are running. I might do something about those stickers though.


Cut some holes in the bottom piece for the I/O mountings.


And placed them with precision.


Here´s the placement of the pump and res


I´m going to add some material under the res later.


Also made some taps for connecting the cylinder with top and bottom.


Glued in place...


Taaada!

Laterz!! / Quizz

 

I couldn't wait a week to check out some updates, sweet progress quizz.

 

Starting to look really really good!

 

The quality and detail of your work is amazing - I'm looking forward to following this! Keep it coming...

 

Thanks Waynio! ... and right back at yah!

Thanx friend!

Thanks again Karrek, appreciated!!


Update time!!! Made some progress with the dome today...



Started off drawing some on a sheet of 6mm ply.


Cut the hole for the dome. Made a small mistake with the router, but fixed it with this little piece...


Drilled some holes and sanded the outer diam.


Placed the dome inside... Perfect fit Drilled three holes in the acrylic and attached M4 skrews to secure it to the ply.



As you can see the acrylic had to be sanded


Used the vertical sander.


Better!


Fitted on top of the shell. The ply will be painted black later.


Another angle.


Used the ply to pin the holes into the taps


Drilled...


Used the ply as mallet for the bottom aswell.


... and drilled some more.


Also put the cover in place and drilled some holes to connect it with the walls underneath.


Under the cover plate.

this is looking great! Very original!

 

looking great

I have to ask, is that your shop? Or a workplace shop? Looks so nice!

Edited for typo

 

Thank you guys!

Thanks Mosquito! ... Forgive me, but I don´t understand the question. Our shop?

 

Dang it, typo... your* shop (home/personal shop)

 

Oh... That´s the shop of my school, not a personal one I´m afraid. One day maybe

 

Never thought domesday would look so nice.
Excellent stuff quizz.

 

Don't ask why, but it reminds me of Discworld, from Terry Pratchett! LoL
Great job!

I think that you would have to low your camera's ISO/gain! It will improve that grey grain!
