Scratch Build – In Progress MegaDeblow - Desk Build **COMPLETE**

Your build has been going a long time but its perfection, will be well worth it in the end
I was trying to be creative with my photos because my room is soooo small i don't have many options lol

When im back on 2 legs i want to do a build again but in my shed then move it inside, hopefully it will workout better that way as this build was very messy and frustrating when trying to move items around by myself
getting on the floor and back up took about 10 minuets at a time lol

Thanks for your feedback it means a lot coming from someone like yourself

I hope your build goes well, cant wait to see it

Just uploaded a quick build log slideshow to YouTube, im working on the live video and plan to have it up asap.

 

Finally done the live vid,

Please let me know what you think on here or YouTube comments, good or bad because i need to learn so i can hopefully improve before any future builds

 

it looks really nice,

2 questions:
what dit it averagely cost to build the case (no cooling)
is it posseble to upload mesurements of the mega deblow table.

 

Thanks,

some measurements can be seen on the drawings i did, posted on the Facebook page

as for other measurements, i will post them soon a possible, don't have them written down but i will get a tape measure out tomorrow

Most the wood & all the glass was free, so its hard to put a cost on it
in total i spent about £120 on the vinyl ,fittings & 5 switches

 

Small update,

As i broke my CM cup the same day i got it, didn't have chance to take a pic on my T holder




Now i have a replacement




i'm also starting work on a 2nd & final desk build, so far its still in design stage & im not sure if it will go ahead yet due to circumstances beyond my control

But for the time being i will still continue with designs & planing

If & when i do start ill do a new build log, until then here's a quick pic of what im thinking about building
only the 1st design, so im sure it will change as i progress

 

Looks sweet.
-Next version: You might not want the triangle on the glass. That would break before it even left the glass shop.

 

Thanks

The glass wont be a problem, I already have lots of triangle glass I've made in the past.
Only problems i need to work on to do with the glass is how to hold it in place but make easy to remove/lift when i want to get inside.
All i can think of at the moment is some rubber/metal hinges so i can fold it up without having to lift it away from the desk as i do with my current build.

 

Got myself a secondhand spare plate for the MECH and decided to spend a bit more time on the design, went with white & black to match the lighting on most my peripherals.


1, how it comes when new. 2, Sanded down. 3, White primer (x3 coats). 4, White base (1 coat)


How it looked when painted white and clear coat (without sanding)



My 1st design, changed my mind half way though and started again




Final design




After 6 days drying i sanded the paintwork down ready for sanding and buffing



after sanding and buffing, the paint now looks great with a mirror gloss finish







couple more pics on my facebook page

 

Just uploaded a vid showing my 2X MECH mods & the Reaper mouse
Added some shading to the white MECH plate & Removed the shading from the carbon plate.

Unfortunately I get a bit nervous when filming

 

The long overdue update video, in the vid i try enplane some things im asked about often,

Oh & share with anyone you think would be interested
