Scratch Build – In Progress Mithril (9/2/09, I'm not as daft as I thought...)

Green. Looks like a frozen slime. AWESOME!

 

It looks awesome, but after my 'sploding NB top, I'd be wary of that splitter.
The video cards look like you could make toast with them.

 

no need. I have the board at home but was just too lazy to open it up and get my video card out. lol

 

Peruse the AMD forum at XS, there's a hell of a lot of good info on the board as well as a collection of beta BIOSes...

 

So here's the newest manifold piece...







New tripod, can you tell?

And something I found for radiator screens...





More tomorrow, finally an off day!

 

Cool, how is that material for wind resistance (from the fans)?

 

Not sure, testing starts tomorrow.

 

Note, I cast my own raw material, machine it myself using a Dremel Drill press station I made into a manual mill and a corded drill with no torque adjustments.

I had fun, I'mma go bandage my finger I ran the mill across...

 

I spy piracy! Ahoy!

That aside, Im interested in seeing how all this will look together in the case.

 

Part of the process you don't see-the mishaps!

This one got stuck when I was filling the cracks in it. I wanted it badly enough...



And old school at its best...

 

I only wear cargo pants - bandaids in left thigh pocket. Cuts down on the running to the first aid kit.
Nice work

how do u cast your parts?
something id realy like to try out!

 

I'm a masking tape and paper towel person. I usually can't handle getting a real band-aid unwrapped with a finger messed up.
I'd really like to see the full casting process. It's something I've been thinking about trying.

 

for me its masking tape... ive allways got some handy! and it covers the wound thats all i need!

 

I usually carry band-aids in my wallet. I never know when My dad or I will get hurt.
Anyways, nice to see that you are casting your own parts. Looking great!

 

I can promise you guys tomorrow will have some new surprises...

BTW, anyone ever heard of the Lamps of Feanor? Hint if you figure it out as to what's to come...

 

Looking forward to your update (and surprise). Really nice and innovative way of working with the theme, KayinBlack.

 

Illuin and Ormal - just keep Melkor away or they get broken.
