Scratch Build – In Progress Project FiveWood - Complete!!

He he... Yeah it sure smeels good. The wood i mean. Hope that the smell of wood in your mod will be a lot stronger than the smell of blood

It is scary to see how the blade can come out of the bandsaw like that. The old open wheelers were real killers. My old boss lost a friend to one of those when he was young.

But keep up the good work, and try and keep your blood in your body. It should be healthy to live that way

Have subscribed to your log so i can follow you closely. But we just moved, so we havent got net at the new place yet. But should be online in a week, and im looking forward to see how you are doing

 

yawdropping... excellent craftmanship and a good taste. this gonna be a masterpiece. love it.

 

Wow. That's all I can say.

FiveWood is within 3 weeks of completion. After going through everything tonight in my shop, the end is certainly close-at-hand. Things are coming together fast now.

There will be no more updates. The next series of posts will be of the final photo shoot.

Thank you for all the support and props to keep the drive going.

I hope this one will knock your socks off.

Project FiveWood Text Update

That's right, no pictures. I felt I needed to update the project since, for once, I have good news.

All is on schedule for an early July release! It's coming together nearly as planned. You'd be surprised how many little things are kicking my a$$ right now. These components are supposed to just snap together!! I have gotten the snap part down well. I actually snapped the right-side panel on and it snapped into three pieces. I am utilizing tension to hold the doweled components together. A little too much tension sometimes obviously.

There are, what are supposed to be, a few surprises coming as well.

Thanks for keeping up with it.

Project Five Wood is complete!!

The good news:

Project Five Wood is complete!! I finished the last of the build this afternoon. The system is together, boots and runs nice and cool. January 4, 2008 to July 4, 2008: 7 months

The bad news:

No photos yet. I'll take the final photos later this weekend. I just had to shout it out. I've been fighting the desire to rush this one to completion, but I managed to take the final 3 weeks to give it what I needed to.

Gratz on the (supposed) completion of FiveWood!

 

oh schnap!!

Didn't think you'd call my bluff!!!

 

Goddamn Beautifull work It's been ages since i've checked out this log, as i unfortunately don't get that much time to check out logs, and seeing all this work is a very nice find I'm looking forward to seeing those final pics

 

NOOOO Please do not use smoked plexi on the side window! I would not be able to bear not seeing into the case and getting to look at all of the amazing woodwork!

 

Do NOT Panic

Do NOT Panic, it is the protective plastic coating.

 

Wow... I'm speachless. The craftsmanship in this is astounding. I can simply clap and cry. Great. Simply great.

*claps*

 

Thank you thank you thank you thank you. I was really starting to freak out. I read your reply and my heart started pumping...am i in love? (with your case of course!)

Excellent work! I want to see finished pics!

 

Awesome work cc3d

 

I present to you

FiveWood

After 7 months of work (and re-work), it makes me so happy and relieved to present to you the finished FiveWood case.

For details and information about this build as well as many more finished pictures, please check out the project page at

I present to you:

 

absolutely beautiful. every single detail of this case is perfect. stunning work.

how well do those wooden heatsinks work?

 

Beautiful :bow:

We all know that wood is a better conductor of heat than alluminium or copper. Want proof? Try to set fire to copper or alloy, then try wood. The results will speak for them selves.

Those graphics cards look awesome, so does everything btw, even the nice round zalman copper cpu heatsink matches the wood beautifully

 

Ah-meh-zing.

I like your incorporation of EEL's symbol Not to mention the excellent craftsmanship.
