Thanks a lot, Well regarding the tools... once you started collecting them they stack pretty fast


After the Hd-blocks were done, I could countinue with the case itself. These parts are for supporting the top and bottom part of the case...and to get that round shape. It'l probably make more sense in the next uppdate when there will be some more parts added.

Some 10mm Alu cut to a basic shape.

A rotary table is used to get a curved shape. a

Hate those nasty edges but, it's good theyr pretty easy to remove.

I was needed to upgrade my tools with a set of 3mm needle files.

The parts could not be completed in the mill alone and therfore I had to do the last shaping by hand, these red parts had to be removed since i needed a straight edge without a radius.

I used a regular file to get that basic shape...

then there were a copule of houres for me and the needle files to get to know each other... One almost done, 7 to go :S

Countersunk the holes with an endmill to make the screwheads fit.

After some hours of filing and wetsanding all 8 sides where done. Was really hard not to mess up that radius but I think it turned out ok.










Thats it if for this day.
