Scratch Build – In Progress [Project] Modularis Evolution... updated alot!!! nearing completion!

Ok guys well im back again for another update.

I started off today by marking out the top panel to enlarge the window


And after cutting

yes thats much better i think

I then moved on to making up some brackets to secure the back panel to the body of the case


And finished


I then moved on to the front green acrylic and got it all marked out


Then got it cut out with the jigsaw to allow easier access for on the scroll saw


And cut on the scroll saw

I then got it all marked up and ready for the windowed section


And sadly that is where it has been left for today but there will be more tomorrow

You found some true day-glow green. The shavings are even lit up.
What are you going to do about edge gaps in the front plate? Bondo? -or are you just going to get it really snug?

 

Lol thanks man

What gaps do you mean though?

and next update in a few mins

 

Right I'm back again with another update so here we go I will pick up from where we left off.

Acrylic front panel decoration window cut


And I wasn't happy with my first front panel as it didn't quite square up so I made a new one and marked it for the window


Cut..


How it will look in place


I then got the clear acrylic for the actual window marked and cut



I then grabbed the green acrylic and ventured over to my grinder with a 6" polishing mop attached and went about polishing the outside of the acrylic


Unfortunately the inside edges weren't able to be polished using the grinder so i used some 320grit sandpaper and some steel wool to give it a nice smooth feel with a bit of a shine.


And then there it is mounted up again


Hope you enjoyed my latest update and dont forget to check back again tomorrow for the next update!

Josh

 

I'll be sure to come back dw

 

Thanks

 

Nicely Done

 

Thankyou wizard

 

i will have the next update in a few mins.

But i bloody well broke my digi slr!!! so i will have to get that fixed and just get the finished glory photos with that and take the progress photos with my compact!

 

Anyway update!!!

I had a new addition to my workshop today

It keeps me going!

Then i marked out the acrylic for the angled bits of the main case for the tile cutter



Unfortunately this didnt go too well so i did it using my jigsaw instead!!
And got them polished up aswell (this process took a very long time from initial cutting to belt sanding to hand sanding to get rid of any marks to polishing!!)
so here is one

two

And all four




I then made up a template for the supports (note this is only a template so its not perfect!


I then cut the pieces for my test support



and it worked well, im not going to bother showing it as it was just a test of how strong they would be and how good the glue is! and well five mins after initial gluing i was able to stand on it with my full weight... and i then sanded and polished it and you wouldnt even know it has been glued it looks completely smooth as if it was made in one piece! so it was a success.

so i am going to make a second template for the backside and get started on some of the supports for this.

And im a bit annoyed about my camera but i will just have to get it repaired.
