    An update on the Zero Gravity Chamber.

    It's late, and I'm very tired, so you're not going to hear much yapping out of me tonight. Fewer stupid jokes as well.. could be a good thing, right?

    Here I'm marking off the bends for the chamber shell.



    No turning back now... we're about to bend this thing for good.




    I clamped through the windows here. I figured since they were hollowed out that it'd be the weakest point when the opposing force was applied to the brake. It worked pretty well.




    Clamped down at a 1/2" bend and ready to go. This will be the back bend of the chamber that will be drilled and mounted to the inner case frame.




    The first bend turned out very well.




    Positioning for the second bend.



    Bending upright. This will be the chamber side that shows the Zero Gravity drives.




    She's really starting to take shape now.




    The fourth and final bend. We now have our finished Zero Gravity Chamber shell.



















    Teaser.




    I hope to have the shelves installed by middle of the week and the zero G drive mounts shortly after. I had expected to finish the drive mounts first, but to ensure the plexi window mount is the exact height it needs to be to center the drives in the window, I thought it was best to install the shelves first.

    Thanks for checking in!
