Scratch Build – In Progress The Tempel - Thank you guys!

DUDE! the monitor rises out of the desk! lol that it too awesome!!

 

Those contacts on the acrylic lockplate... are you planning to make the lock the power switch?

 

Those are some l33t carpentry skills! Awesome design.

 

When you have the right tools for work, it's so cool.
Good work Dude

 

Thanks Hukkel!

Thanks Crapman! Well, some people seem to dislike wood enough to vomit in my threads =)

Thanks gyufi!

Thanks Knighthammer!

Thanks Mosquito. Solid oak is quite expensive here, and with MDF you never have to worry about surprises like bending and moving in the material.

Thanks OrangeClockwerk! Yessss, a true James Bond gadget!!

Well, not really, but you're close... It is a switch, but not for the PC.

Thanks Nexxo!



Update:

A multimeter will be handy when working. I made an analog one for the tools panel, 0-20V.


Two cross layers of veneer and some gold paint. Smack!


Making of the speakers. Simple ones, with some sound attenuating material


Finished...


And mounted!


This is how the front looks like when the lid is closed. A solar system in gold, just like my ol' Sputnik computer. A circular window in brass will be added tomorrow for the final touch.


Close up of the end grain keyhole... Quite nice I think.


And this is now, dealing with electronics for the panels. Here's the res and amp mounted.


Later!

I'm loving this wood project man, please keep going!

 

Love the details like the solar system and the lock in the front...fantastic work

 

Thanks Falqoon!

Thanks Meelobee. The solar system turned out real well I suppose =)

Last update before finals:

My soldering iron is going to be given a special built in stand with magnets, and for that I made some delicate brass parts in the lathe


Assembled!


I made a leaktest and used my panel fillport. As you can see I changed the panels a bit...


It's finished, and I'm into the photobooth. So how many hrs did I put into building this one?... I calculated it into almost 900! Expect finals in a few hrs!

 

OMGOMGOMGOMG THAT IS SO COOOOLLL!!!

Sorry, bit excited here.

(Man, I've got to get me a lathe...)

 

A wood grain-faced multimeter -

 

Thanks! Yeah, turning is the ****!

Well of course =)

 

Time for finals, hope you'll enjoy!

Thank you Aquatuning and Cooler Master for the support!

THE TEMPEL


Inside is a bit messy right now, lots of electronics in there...


Front, lid closed


Lid opened


Monitor lift up-up-up!


There we go.


With built in lighting turned on


Another shot, in the dark


The lock serves as a lighting switch. Turn the key, and you'll have a solar system glowing from inside the circular window.


Close up, solar system


Close up, end grain key hole


The lighting reflects on the small brass domes and creates a really nice effect.


Drawers...


More drawers...


A close up of the stained ash grains.


Behind the screen is a modular tool wall for smaller tools


Here's the right panel. It got a built-in soldering station, analog multimeter and R speaker.


Soldering iron inserted in stand with magnets


Here's the multimeter in action, sort of.


The modified soldering iron, tailored for the sake of the brass theme


On the left panel we've got L speaker, HDMI out-in, phones input, light switch+dimmer, disk reader, fillport+res, USB 3.0 x4, amp with volume+tremble+bass, disk eject, start button and finally a switch for the monitor lift.


Close up, res in action... The cape corp bullseye res sure is a beauty!




And here's a little video showing monitor lift and res in action. Sorry about the quality.

Another excellent build Quiz, Your woodwork skills are stunning. I also like what you have done with the electronics and soldering.

Good luck with the coolermaster competition

 

It's so pretty!...

 

That is stunning!

Fantastic workmanship - I'm very envious of your skills.

BTW that shot of the monitor partially up - I was almost expecting to see this *

Fantastic work, that's gotta be the best workcabinet ever..

Love the brass touches and how you integrated everything into the desk...wow...just wow!

 

Awsome wood project, as always !! The attention to details is just fantastic.
