I absolutely LOVE your "Reason for editing" on your last post! I almost fell out of my chair in laughter.

Oh ya, and your build is coming along quite nicely!

[Alexandr0s]

It's a shame we can't use this fine vessel to travel to my buried treasure.
Oh yeah, I have it. Not in my backyard either. Legit.

Can't wait to see all the stuff IN the case!

I started off creating the hatchway with a 12"x12" aluminum sheet.

Remeasured, adjusted and remarked:

hahahahahahahaha sigh you should just stay in metric measurements

[HuffPCair]

Lookn good so far me matey. I will post up some stuff probably after I get the rest of my stuff ordered. Which I will probably do this week.

[taters mcgee]

About that CNC router....http://www.qubic.com.au/roland_mdx540.htm

or http://www.romaxxcnc.com/hsproduct.html

really good product, really cheap, fair work size up to 300mm, should be enough for most things.

or if you want a human touch, http://www.carbatec.com.au/kreg-prec...r-table_c20829 with http://www.carbatec.com.au/kreg-prec...-system_c20002, bigger working area, less than half the cost of a CNC mill/router, very easy to use, eye candy etc

Magnificent build Cpt

[kgtiger]

The first go-round was to create the straight "starter" cuts while being careful not to stray outside the pencil guides.
The second go-round was to actually cut through the aluminum.

Excellent point mate.

I do the roughly the same thing when using a cutting disc, it doesn't matter if I'm using a dremel with a 1" cutting disc a 5" grinder or my 9" grinder to cut, the process is the same.

The best way to cut a straight line with a cutting disc is to just let the disc make a shallow groove along the edge of your mark
(on small cuts I do one edge at a time, bigger cuts I may go 1-2' in front) then finish the cut with a second go at it.

Really like the way you have made this hatch, Excellent work mate.

[Vinas]

What happened here? I blacked out once Cpt surprised us with that case shot out of nowhere. Hey, I'm a light weight!

[theToX]

awesome as usual Captain. ill follow this thread to the deepest depths of the ocean.

might sound a bit weird but i thought about you the other day while I was watching the Hunt for Red October i know its the wrong time period but still high seas shenanigans.


how about Vera getting his face broken on sunday? looked pretty brutal.

[Waterlogged]

Nooo Slilly , Some other pirates stole them and buried them as treasure, now he is on the hunt with Cpt Jack Sparrow

[dro]

Nawwwwww....... I think he's just outside the network coverage
So he can't come online just yet.......

[ScottALot]

Damn, that is a TIGHT rig! The blue and black go together perfectly with that sort of metallic/silver/aluminum accent.

[Wezly]

He's painting it all red to use one of these:




You're welcome, sir captain.

[GJS1]

Wonderful

[ScottALot]

The Supreme Classified? ... why didn't you get an HF? I guess there's some that go for looks, and others that go for performance... I just look for the compromises between both and price.

[[XC] Oj101]

Sub'd, I've managed to get myself addicted to build logs

He was joking.

Great job Capt'n! Keep up the good work.

[Wezly]

He was joking.

Great job Capt'n! Keep up the good work.

I got the classy before the highflow came out, and I'm pretty sure this is the first high flow, because of the description about the re-worked baseplate channels.

So, it's performance + looks - not the newest supreme with copper top + 33% off sale = perfect-ish.

And yes, I was joking about Cap'n getting one because I know he loves it hahaha.
