There's always the option of "owner distressed." -Or "shipping distressed." The post office seems to be pretty good at it. Just pack it in scouring pads before you send it out.

Great point! Since it has to go to Australia, it would have plenty of time!

This is a very interesting case mod, good luck to you

Pfaffen · 15th Sep 2012, 01:19

On to the small parts. Each is 1/8 in wide and is half lapped to fit.

Pfaffen · 15th Sep 2012, 15:32

Now that they are dry, its time to clean them up.

Clipping off the long edges on all the sides...

Some sanding...

and more sanding...

Pfaffen · 22nd Sep 2012, 14:22

Here are the windows sitting in the door frames

Now to cut out the holes

One down... 7 to go...

Here are the posts and doors.

Here is a shot of the doors with the sign dry fitted.

Here is the inside looking out. The doors are mounted.

Great work dude, loving it so far

Time for some glue-ups

Make sure the computer it was designed to hold fits!

First coat of primer

Pfaffen · 15th Oct 2012, 22:19

Compared to the model.

Cheapskate · 16th Oct 2012, 16:13

OOOF. It always hurts to see the primer go on.

I know!

Pfaffen · 24th Oct 2012, 23:11

Here we are in the spray booth.

First can of paint down... two more to go...

Well ok, 1 and a half to get here.

Karrek · 25th Oct 2012, 07:03

your paint booth caught my eye. Is the box fan exausting air (drawing air in through the furnace filter)? Do you have it on as you are painting, or just afterwards to help the item dry? I'm intrigued - and want to build my own now.

Great paint job - I agree that it is a shame to paint the beautiful wood, but it wouldn't look right if it wasn't blue. great work so far. I'm interested to see how you fit the components...

Pfaffen · 26th Oct 2012, 17:26

I use it to pull air through the box. While I am painting, I have the front open and the fan pulling air. To dry, I pull down the front flap and seal it. Causing the Air go go through the filter.
