Scratch Build – Complete GwassGween -FINISHED-Nov13 2013-pics start on page 67

It's Cheaps' fault!

Oh, and yes, Sir, you're right.

 

Thanks everyone.
@stonedsurd - I think it's just you.
@MM - That little chunk of blue changed the edge color of the whole part.

Finished a HUGE step today...

-First I had to build Plank 2.0 from MDF.

-I glued the I/O plate on. I got some clouding and splash from the glue, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I let that sit 24 hours to cure.

-Mill mess 2.0.

-I bought this Dremel bit a while back for one specific porpoise: It's a perfect center point finder. I had to align the panel to the machine. First I used the point to line up on the far edge of the part, and clamped down that end.

-Then I ran the X axis down to the other end, adjusted the part, and clamped it down completely. Once that was done I moved the point to the origin mark, and set the X & Y machine coordinates to zero.

-Clamping's a b*tch. I lucked out with the odd shape of the vice grips.

-And away we go! ...At least that's how I felt when this started. It got painful after a while. I nearly paced a hole in the carpet.

-Cut two; electric boogaloo.

-Just burying that bit... This 3/16" bit is a handy thing. The shank size is the same as the cutting head, so I can plunge it farther than the blades. I had to babysit and constantly clean the chips out of the groove though.

-For cut three I added something for fun. I slapped together a vent pattern last night and decided to cut for the hell of it.

-Three hours, twenty minutes later...
I have some blocks to play with now too.

Everybody give a big THANKS to my future sponsors!!


aaannnd!

 

I had to re-read that bit, because the first time i thought i read virgins. I like the vent next to the i/o plate, lots of nice curvy bits in this mod

 

D*mn! That was quick.
Thanks.

-See, Stonedsurd - it's all in the mind.

 

This is very nice! Needs some picture work though. Monkeys, Trolls, something! You are doing very well on the project but it needs embellishment. Want me to mail a cross dressing Troll to you now?

I like it!

john

 

Like the vent design!
Curious to see how you hold up the pci cards n i/o's.

 

That grill looks very good, great work cheaps.

 

Ahh! Progress is always nice! So is this! Very good!
The flowing lines remind me of SNiiPE_DoGG's FLOW.

 

Nice job on that rear plate.

and yes, I see what you mean

 

very cool congrats on sponsers!

 

LOVE the vent!

 

Thanks!
@John - I get the hint. DO NOT send the kinky troll! Even now I'm pricing racetrack models. Any idea if you can buy Jello in bulk?
@MM - Oh, Sh*t! For a second you had me thinking I cut up the spot where the vid mount would go. The block cut from the I/O hole will be used as a clamp bar. I'm stealing Oldnewby's trick. I liked it. I didn't have enough room for individual screw holes.
@Stonedsurd - John complained because of the lack of dirty jokes. I can't win.

 

Is there a reason you don't comment on my posts?

 

Well, THAT will get you a comment.
I guess I owe you a more personal thank you...
*ahem*
Thank you perplekks45, for keeping all my projects since Bloo easy to find, (by keeping them on page one.) Yes, I've noticed.

 

I'm just a bumper-bot.

 

Hey! The John knows "cough" 40 years worth of dirty jokes in several languages. Did you hear the one about the Priest, the Rabbi, the Altar boy, confession, and the 2 candy bars and the Coke?

john

 

No, so tell us. This is Cheaps'(s?) thread, I'm sure he wouldn't mind

 

That joke CAN'T end well...

I'm here to warn you I'm farting around with the Nvidia contest right now. (-and sanding stuff.)
The next update will have to wait for incoming parts.

 

You go do the work and I'll be the USO show to keep the troops happy.

"Father Flanaghan and Rabbi Smith are best golfing buddies. One day the good Priest gets the flu and asks the Rabbi to hear confessions for him. Rabbi says he doesn't know what penance to give out. Father says that's OK I'll have an Altar boy there to help you.

So the Rabbi hears a couple confessions and hand out several Hail Mary and Our Fathers. Then a young cheerleader comes in and says Father forgive me for I did oral sex for my boyfriend.
The Rabbi says to the Altar boy "What does Father Flanaghan usually give for Oral Sex?

The Altar boy says "two candy bars and a Coke!"


3 1/2 years in the Seminary all I have to show for it is Priest jokes.

john

 

OUCH!

Rep for that!
