Thank you Daniel.
I have to say, working with you on this project has been an absolute pleasure!
brainwashers... I love it!
Oh yes. As rocket733 indicated, it's a rotary tungsten carbide cutting bit for the RotoZip. The RotoZip comes with that "jigsaw style" handle that makes it easier to cut using jigs.
Thank you Rocky.
Cheers bentleya.
Wow tamtam, thank you for the kind words.
I have to say, coming here and getting such positive feedback is so heart warming. So much of what we do in life comes with no praise and it's really special when people come together in a Community setting and provide encouragement and support for each other. Being part of this Community means a lot to me and it feels great to be able to make small contributions.
I can tell you this - with what Nils and I are doing, the best is yet to come.
Cheers.
Project Update:
I’ve got everything ready for final mockup. I just need to make a few minor tweaks but wanted to at least give you an idea of what it looks like. I’m still waiting for my fasteners to arrive so I’ll have to use temporary ones for now. The finals will be black oxide w/ flat head Phillips drive.
Next, I’ll install the PLED mount plate. Again, temp fasteners.
Finally, it’s time to slide the facade in place… But wait; since I don’t have the nuts epoxy’d to the back yet, I’ll have to remove the PLED mount plate and attach the facade first.
Now I can attach the whole enchilada to the TJ07 vertical piece – moment of truth time…
Joy!
Next, I’ll break it down and make the minor tweaks needed. Then, I’ll prep the case parts for powder coating by designing and mocking up the LC loop and drilling the cable management holes. Once that’s done, I’ll send out the parts for powder coating. Before that however, I’ll have to measure up the side panel for its custom water jet cutting. This is the part of this project I’ve been dreading – the window locations for the PLEDs will have to be perfect and there can be no do-overs. I’ll measure and then measure again. Then I’ll start over. For this part of the process to work out, I think I’m going to need a bigger lucky zen frog.
Oh, I forgot to mention the big surprise! I better do that now… Guys, there’s going to be a big surprise… errr… hopefully.
Thanks for looking in.![]()
