Modding New shoes for my case polished and fitted 23Apr.

Good day to all.

Well I bought these drawer knobs to use as case feet. They are nice and fit my build BUT they are knobs not feet, and so on to making new ones.

as you see nice but to narrow



So I got a freebie from work, saw spacers, unfortunately some alloy type that does not easily file



using hack saw cut my blocks



here is where I realized alloy = hardwork about an hour each to square up. Drilled and tapped. Now making octagon shoes needed to save energy so back with hacksaw to slice corners



much faster to slice corners then cut off and just a little filing. slices also act as depth gauge.
4 octagon blocks so far

 

continuing on, the blocks are tapered



finished



installed






well thats it for this mod. feel free to comment.

 

Have to respect your efforts. Filing metal parts to shape is a pain. Especially if there are more than one! +

 

Thank you Javerh. I think the effort was well worth the results. octTower needs good footwear

 

You did that by hand?! They look awesome

 

handwork=hardwork!
Well done!

 

Yes, hacksaw, drill and files. Thank you.

Thanks, have to make it to get just the right look
