Scratch Build – In Progress Kitchen Sink computer.

I think there is enough space for an ATX ( at least in mine......I've done a check before wash dishes )

How will you join all pieces togheter ?

I found a double sinks for 20€ in a used market
I am not sure to follow the mokey in my head adding parts for a case mod(read junk) considering my never-ending to do list and the spring getting closer (= garden jobs )

 

Thanks, Def!
@Dot_Kappa - For the pvc bits: PVC plumbing glue. To connect the stainless and pvc: Liquid Nail construction adhesive. It should work. I swear it's based on dry chewing gum.

Sorry for the lack of update, everyone. There were a lot of storms and cold lately, and the last session at the mill went odd. Like, I may need a new motor controller soon odd.

 

So...?

 

Nothing askew, but randomly diving the bit into the material an extra 1/4 inch is... potentially destructive.
Don't poke me with the soft cushions over it.

 

In the meantime I found two interesting sink on sale
What about yours?

 

Spring happened. I had a ton of repairs I put off last year because it was 100-110 degrees Fahrenheit, and then Winter made me sleep all day.
Making a bunch of little cuts on metal probably isn't worth posting too.

 

I dug a few picks from the camera. Most of it was cleaning and marking a 2nd sink to find it was not the same shape.

-I cut a bunch of sections and milled one side of each flat. these are for the curves.

-This is the angle jig to bevel the second side of each section. On the very first cut, the mill freaked out and plunged about .2" instead of .032", so it threw the part. I've only done a bunch of cut cleanup and other not photo worthy stuff since.
Sorry, Dot.

 

wow , turn a sink into a computer, great idea you managed to throw a cat among the pigeons once again , love the first pics

 

Thanks.

 

I've been busy with other stuff again. It's that season.

-I decided after using the mill for a bunch of van parts that it was fine. My clamping was likely inadequate.

-I fused these together with plexi solvent, only to find I could break them apart easily. I had to resort to goopy pvc glue.

-The results aren't very accurate, or pretty, or straight.

-My setup for cutting the power switch hole. The wooden prop is glued in place.

-Oh, wow did I miss that one. I really shouldn't have tried to mark the center while it was in the clamp. I guess I need to cut up another batch of angles and do it again. This section was glued together pretty crooked anyway.

-There might be a slight delay while I use the leftover material to form a curved sanding block. I'm using up some suuuuper runny pre-mix plaster that I've been suffering with lately, and it's taking forever to set up.

 

-Next mission: Clean this room. I flung pvc caterpillars everywhere.

-I cut up and glued another curve section, and made these cuts for the switch stuff.

-Totally covered in purple snot. I had to sand the primer out of the tube hole for the button to fit again.

-Yep still really rough. I'll have a hell of a time getting this neat and smooth. I added some glue in the low spots and it was full of bubbles after sanding.

-Another switch shot.

-I knocked out the junction point for the fan grills.

-I have no clue how I got these together without glue in the gap. Thank God though. That would be a really nasty spot to smooth out.

-Next problem: The gloppy glue and tolerance chain shenanigans made getting these accurate impossible. I will need to add another section and mill it to the dimensions I need... and at 90 degrees. I should probably get back to cutting metal parts so I can figure out what those dimensions are first.

 

Quite close to 90°

 

Stupid "tropical storm" turned out to be a full blown hurricane. Expect delays.

 

OK, I'm inside for a few..

-NOT MUCH modding this time. I converted this scratch engraver to attach to the cnc router. Essentially I removed the downforce lever and flipped the spring.

-That hurricane is still kicking me in the nutz. The house I live in did fine. 30 trees in the yard and I didn't lose a branch bigger than my calf. The damage amounted to a single 20 year old picket breaking. My neighbors got clobbered, though. One had a tree flatten their cars, and the other had a tree cut through 2 upstairs rooms and took a big chunk out of the kitchen.
THIS pic is one of our rentals, though. It had 2 trees and a big chunk of a third fall on it.

-The damage is still not completely assessed. The hit lifted the ceiling rafters off the front of the house. -Lots of structural damage.

-In total: This mess, a shed that disassembled itself, a house with a row of shingles ripped off, 7 fences damaged, and one picket at my place. Fences I build tend to not fall over.
So yeah, someone else is going to need to pad out the modding section for a few months. -I'm busy.

 

Good luck m8

 

Following this i'm tempted to have another go at modding myself, been a while. sorry for the hurricane:S

 

@Huskybongs : You should. There's virtually no one here modding right now.
Hurricane was the least of my worries. My regular contractor got flooded and we had to find someone else. They turned out to be incompetent beyond words. I am STILL patching up things they screwed up. Example: I don't have a chimney. At first they bashed the (expensive) ducting down with a hammer so it would fit under the roof, and put the old water heater vent vaguely above it. I had a 4 foot duct venting directly into the attic. After a month of complaints, they came back and added a flimsy funnel made of sheet metal. So a single wall chimney duct that comes into direct contact with wood.
I'll stop here. I could type all day.

 

oh lord, maybe take them to court

And yes ill get into modding again in spring 2025, I'm gonna have the same idea as last time, it will take whatever time it takes and it will be finished when its finished. I'm not in a rush

 

Nice one Cheap, I'm really digging the 50's diner vibes and the ingenious use of...well a kitchen sink

Are you still working on this one?

 

@Darkened -Loooong time no see! I'm just taking a break from this one. We've both been known to take long breaks, right? I'm still fixing hurricane damage- well, what the bumblef*ck contractors tore up or built sh*tty. They were as bad as the hurricane.
