Scratch Build – In Progress The Devil's Dance (A mad mans last ever true scratch build)

Negative Nancy.

Also, The square bit is just to seat a blob of plexi with a port in it. I'm trying to get your imagination working. You could make a round plexi plug for multiple ports so you could torque down one barb while holding the other.

I got my thread poking stick out, and it's aimed at you.

 

Build yourself one and you'll never regret it your bank will but you won't lol

lol I'm waiting on deliveries now but once I start on the next stage should be a lot more interesting

 

Well got bored waiting for materials to arrive so I decided to cut a couple of grills







And a smaller version

 

Looks like the grill of an old gas heater.

 

That looks sooo cool!

 

Teel's not replying 'cause he's afraid I'll yell "reservoir" again.

Spoiler

glass reservoir

 

Yell what you like I can't hear you lol

Still waiting for some materials I thought I'd get on with cutting some parts I'll need later, so these are 8mm thick and quite narrow so not easy to fix down but anyway.

Starts off with the programme drawn and loaded



Nice flat plate that happens to be almost too small



First I cut the inner part left me with a useable bit for something else



Second cut leaves me with the shape I wanted



Two of these perfect.

 

In there like swim wear!

 

Looking promising. ...Slow, but promising.

Spoiler

I'm not wearing any pants

 

It's not the machine that's slow - that thing is super-charged - it's just that... well, Tel is getting on a bit, y'know. Not as spritely as he used to be, grumpier by the day, and running out of Just for Men (which probably explains the grumpiness).

On top of that, we're a week into this log and a single f***ing Troll or cat anywhere to be seen in any of the pics! What's the score, T?

 

Still waiting for the f***ing materials to come seems it's gone missing in the post , I mean seriously how the f**k do you loose two 65mm square x 300mm long aluminium bars ffs

The Trolls are there waiting you'll see lol

 

The same way they lost me an EK Vulture (XX/50) case....in 24 expedited delivery....

My hate for delivery services is, in fact, real

 

Yeah A holes

Anyway I decided to redesign the back I'll cut it and post tomorrow

 

Right as I said I redesigned the back after looking at it I realised the door was a mistake and it would be better if the whole back was removable, so I draw out the IO plate and the GPU holes to be cut out of the back.







Perfect

 

I dunno if its just your photography but it seems that the stock isnt clamped down enough.

Every aspect seems to have some sort of alignment issue,the curves dont seem regular and the straight sections dont seem to be.....well......straight......

It is probably your phone but its driving me mad.....

 

I think you may need to go to spec savers

Seriously though every piece is test fitted and all lines up as it should, I suppose you need to know what goes where to understand that though.

Might be because I live on the side of a mountain that it looks on a tilt to you lol

 

Might also be the Acid I had this morning.........

Its almost certainly your camera,I went back and looked at 'known' shapes,ie your monitor. The lens you have is fish-eying according to your first pic.

 

Of course, it could simply be he's jealous because yours is bigger than his - the cnc machine I mean

The build is coming along nicely, sweetie.

 

Tbh there is a slight inconsistency with those two bone shaped pieces but it's no biggie as they won't be seen once fitted in.

Now there's very little I can get on with now apart from argue the toss over the aluminium that hasn't arrived, he's not keen on replacing it ffs .

So B Neg why didn't you do a build log on your new toy?

BTW I have a set of stainless steel V wheels for one of them.
