My overview video is on Vimeo, and I do like the service quite a bit. I'll definitely be adding more content as things get rolling here.

So, how about another update?

My last post left off with the cut MDF pieces for the core of the case. What I needed now was some simple way to fasten those pieces together, while still providing strength. I went round and round with possibilities until I decided on the following method. It all started with a trio of 22mm holes courtesy of the Romaxx.



Thanks to the CNC's accuracy and repeatability, I ended up with 6 pieces just like this.



With the first piece laying down, I tapped 3 sections of PVC pipe into the holes. The fit was just tight enough that there was no movement once in place, but taps with a hammer could still allow any needed adjustment.



Now finally, here is the assembled core. It's lightweight, yet very strong. The PVC pipe not only serves to hold the structure together, it also has a secondary purpose. Since the carbon fiber will be vacuum bagged, the pipe will allow for pressure equalization between the front and rear of the mold.



With the core done, I'll be moving on to the 2 part aluminum shell that fits around it. Thanks for reading!
