Scratch Build – In Progress Project : Future Schlock by AnG3L (15/October Let the bench Saga begin!!)

Yeah I know what mitre saw you ve been talking about, I was aiming for that but the ones I found here they had a blade for wood and no other accessories or blades!!! Useless country I live man, sucks big time! Thanks for the info though!

Antony my friend, much appreciated, yes indeed hardcore modding but the outcome will be the one I ve planned from the beginning.... hopefully!!!

 

Well you can call me crazy, perfectionist or whatever you like!
Yes I disassemble the chassis for the fourth time just because it was 1,5 mm longer somehow and when I tried to attach some panels and other stuff there wasnt aligned so lets go again!!

This time though its the last cause first I followed a totally different route for the frame making
and also triple checked everything. I suspect the ridiculously hot weather we have here for all these "problems" I had, believe me 40 degrees Celsius can do some nasty tricks, especially when you work under the sun !!

This time I used a smaller table I found in the yard which it wasnt bended like my bench and that made my life a lot easier.



Attached the first part of the frame on the backplate using rivets, all of the main chassis will be with rivets, the rest with countersunk screws. (sorry for the image quality)





Check and check again!



Attaching the 20mm bar on the back plate



This time I attached the bottom plate to align it with the frame just to be sure and also add some durability before I move on with the other parts of the chassis.



Drilling some holes and adding the rivets



Did the same thing for the top panel and then I attached the rest!



Adding a piece for the PSU. At the very end I will add some anti-vibration rubber on that.



Measuring for the rivet holes



Holding the piece in place with some clamps and ready for drilling and riveting!





And here is the main chassis finally finished!!! The sanding, filing etc will be done at the end as I dont want to scratch it again, so I will assemble everything and when I finish I will sand etc before powder coating!













Thats all for now guys, expect a lot more on this mod, many surprises, acrylic madness and many more! Thanks for reading my thread and appreciating my efforts and work!
Peace!!


A special thanks to my sponsors:

 

Did I heard acrylic madness.
I'm totally following you here.

 

I will play with acrylic more than my other mods, etching, cnc, custom reservoir, side panel designs, front panel add on etc etc

 

Nice. Any hints on what you plan to etch?

 

Ahhh, glad you got it how you wanted it now bud , think i'd pass out in 40c ambient temp while using elbow polish , I sweat a lot at 26c, last heatwave in the uk I dunked a t-shirt in cold water, ringed it dry & put it on, instant chilled for a few hours, works a charm.

 

Even if I always keep some things for surprise I will give you a hint!
Look at the logo (Future Schlock's book front page) ....!

Thanks matey, you gave me idea but probably I will create clouds from the steam!!! LoL

 

The back of the frame looks amazing with those designs

 

Thank you my friend!

 

I bet you there will a circle in the design.

 

No ! lol I might do a guessing contest

 

Loving the amount of work put into it so far AnG3L, peace!

 

Frame looks great AnG3L

Judging by the photos it looks pretty hot in Cyprus at the moment

 

Thank J my friend! I appreciate that

Thanks buddy, indeed not only hot but a lot of moisture and that makes that even worst!

 

Coming along really well, definitely going to be watching this! I especially love the finishing touches you add to your projects, so looking forward to seeing it complete.

 

I am glad that you ve noticed the way I work my friend, I always start in a "messy" way and as I move on I play with details. Thanks for your kind words! Peace

 

Glad I stumbled onto this one. I enjoyed your other projects a lot. What you've got so far is looking really good. Grill designs are great and show a sort of signature flare you have. Looking forward to the whole process with this build.

 

Thank you my friend for your nice words. I will do my best not to disappoint you

 

Excellent work Alex.
