... machining prowess is only eclipsed by the marvel...for an update...and
you...disappoint...

Thanks Kibbs! Glad you're liking it! I shall take a detour in showing the things that augment the build and post some full shots soon.

...Pirate...proper porthole...paraph...persnickity phun...

Thank you, Sharon!

p.s. Alliteration is fun

Bit chin.

Lolz...I have a confession. When I first read your reply, I went, "Bite what?"
"Who got bitten?"
"Is masticating on chins vampire talk for "You're the coolest online pirate I have ever met?"

Yes. I'm slow.

So the child walks in, looks at me starring at the screen and says, "Ha ha b'tchn".
Schooled by a 10-year-old = me

pirates, portholes, lube. makes me wanna "go around the perimeter twice"
great transitions here between case compartments.

Thanks John. lol. That's a euphemism for self-loving I haven't heard before.

But I think I'm going to get tarred and feathered if I don't show full shots of the case soon.

...We want a full shot and we want it NAO!. . .you promised us!...

Aye. Thanks Waterlogged. I did promise, didn't I?

Can I use flash, case enveloped in dust, 4096×2160 res, ala NaeKuh
style?



Full shots: next update

wow, really nice hatch with awesome tiny details

Thanks, GK. I meant to send you a pm. D@mn my ADD.

Garrrr matey looking nice so farrrrr. Yeah I dont know pirate talk that well sorry.
basically just trying to say that Shat look good yo. <<< thats my street talk

Word, dawg, word. (That's the extent of my 'round the hood ebonics')

The parts you've chosen for your next build are preemo.
You should post your progress here.

(oh dear. More West Side lingo...can't.....
control...)

It's just mad stupid how fast this muthafignewton will be all up in subscribizzling.
Ain't THAT about a bees. Natch.

erm...Fo shizzle...me hearty...?

A fine ship ye have in your dry dock.
The christening and subsequent raiding is suspenseful to say the least.

Lol! Couldn't have said it better myself, Wez

beautiful work so far rick!! what I really like, is the focus you set on the small
details... It`s gonna be awesome, when finished.

Thanks so much Martin! Really appreciate it, mate!

i'm running out of nice thing to say, rick! the hatch is just perfect, and it isn't even
finished.
Awesome pictures and, as Martin said, i love your focus on the small details. IMHO they're the ones that really
count

I know the feeling, Callen...I'm rendered speechless when I look at the complete awesomeness of your skills in your build.

Like imagine if you will, your next update sparks world peace and international good will towards men (and women) just by the sheer ass-kickery of it all... I wouldn't know what else to say in addition to what I have already.

But at the risk of repeating myself, know that I'm a huge admirer in what you are doing and like the rest of us, I'm anxiously awaiting your next update.

The "window" to your ship is very good
Great Work Capitain

Thank you very much Raiden! Your top panel is looking really good. Can't wait to see Bill's grill on it!

My oh my, awesome work as usual, JUST HURRY UP AND FINISH THE BUILD!! I can't
wait!

Lol...sorry James...I know its taking a bit of time here. My bad.
I do feel I need to show something besides macro shots of random thread screws given the quality work you have shared with us (me).

Looks awesome and very clean can't wait for the final build and some numbers

Thanks jenia! 2, 18, 67 and 12. How are those? Lolz.. sorry couldn't resist.
Aye..I shall post FPS, temps, P95 screenshots upon completion.

Care to share source and model # of that adjustable torque resistance hinge?

No. I'm keeping it a secret, Rich.

And in case you were wondering, I SO did NOT purchase it from McMaster-Carr,
it is NOT part number 1791A44, and CANNOT be found on the catalog page http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/116/2980/=6act4g.

Seriously. Some things have to be kept secret, for pirate's sake.

Yeah, definitely crying for a full shot already
Excellent work as usual, loved the update and the photos

Thank you very much, NaMcO. I'm very grateful with all the kind feedback you have provided me throughout.

I shall indeed post full case pics on me next update. It's been requested for awhile now.
I won't mention the death threats I've been receiving in my inbox if its not posted soon. (wait. I just did.)

Rick, your photography is out of this world. Your modding skills aren't that bad either . I've got a long way to go in both areas.

One thing I have to add though. Enough of the close ups. What does the whole thing look like?

I love the hatches. Very original idea to personalize this.

I think you are single-handedly ensuring the financial security of Bitspower given the number of fittings I have seen in this thread.

Cheers voigts! Very much appreciate the feedback...love where you're going in your latest build and I totally admire your woodworking skills.

I have a feeling we won't be seeing full shots til the Captain is ready - you know how persnickety those Pirates are.

lolz Sharon . I said it here first. Democracy played a part in my decision to have my next update include a few shots of the full case in its unfinished, unpowdercoated glory.

For your convenience and I know I'm cheating here, here is the first pic I have ever posted on this log, but more current pics are forthcoming:



Thanks for taking the time to even get this far. If you're seriously still reading this, please know that I
like extra sharp cheddar cheese, strips of bacon goodness, guacamole on a medium-well patty.

Thanks for all your feedback, everybody! Full shots on me!
