Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! *cries like a lil girl*


LOL. This is so amusing to me,... look at all this SH@#$! LOL. You know,... when I'm cutting and this stuff is spraying everywhere,... it's hot. I mean HOT! I usually have my head right up against the vise as im cutting so I can watch closely. This stuff lands like right in front of my face, literally. Now,... as it's accumulating, I can feel the heat from it! I mean its a lot of heat! So much that i'm still talking about it here instead of miving on to the cool pics,...


Very thin.


Breaks easily into a dust.


Look at all this! OMG, LOL. You know,... I bet I could use it to make a panel Crush it,... lay it on a cookie sheet evenly and then spray it down with weld-on, LOL. I think it would work.


All of that fuzz from cutting these. Yep. Just these.


These things are so damn dead on its just blows my mind.


Bottoms added,... sanded and polished. So delicious.


Fixed! Glued that bad boy down. Easy right?!?! No more lifting/ tilting. It stays put and the only thing that floats is the prop and sFX. YES. As the sFX is spinning,... it's floating


So hardcore,... the sFX was actually turning while I was taking pics.


Qhs! I havent forgot about you my friend. Your next! I have to update yours and get some pics and a video of yours. It's going to be just as hot man! I'm actually going to hook yours up seperately and then I'm going to hook both up in the one loop! I know both of them will turn! I need a splitter. I dont want one to spin slower then the other. Hmmm you think it will?!?!?

My mic on my camera was working for whatever reason,... listen and tell me what you hear

Small update. Qhs's res is done. Both just need to be cleaned up a bit. Going to start on brackets now. I have to clean up the studio first. A Nuke went off over here.

Done and works greats


Ok,... I took anothre video of the DayWalker res because I didnt like that last one. I found out that the new one isnt all that either. I need a better video recorder.

So,... I do have plans on getting better media equipment. Does anyone know of a really good video editor or something where I can add cool effects to the video's?!?!? Maybe some bleeping for the foul mouth, LOL. Let me know. Thanks.

Tiny update. I couldnt do more but I had the worst headache! I left my motrin at home too I tried to dude it out but working with the machines made it worse

Nov-21-2007

I'm making a table to turn my sliding vise into a sliding table. Nothing comparable to the real thing but it will do for now.


I can clamp my work to it and then use an end mill to cut it.


The pieces of aluminum I am going to use to make all the brackets. I think I need like 6 pairs of brackets. I stop at 220grit. Tomorrow I will wetsand @ 400 and 800 and then start polishing. You know,... I ran out of 220grit wetsand so I went to the store to get mroe. They didnt have any 220grit wetsand. So instead of going to another store I bough 220grit drysand stick-on's. They worked great! I though they would get clogged and dull quick and to my surprise they didnt! Awesomeness!


Here are the brackets im goign to make. Each bracket consists of two pieces. An aluminum shell and an acrylic insert. Total width of each bracket is about 1/2". Length,... I think its 2"?!?! Maybe 2-1/4". I dont know off the top of my head. Anyways,... starting from the top. The acrylic insert goes inside the shell obviously. It helps strengthen, adds to the look of it, and most importantly,.. keep the reservoirs from being scratched severely by the aluminum. I'm goign to start out making clear 3/8" inserts and then maybe after that I'll make layered inserts kind of like what cheapskate and many other modders have done. Or maybe I should layer now for these customs? Ok,... I'll layer fo rthe customs but im going to make all clear inserts too. Drawing down,... thats what teh aluminum will look like fromt eh outside. You see the round grooves? The o-rings will be locked there. You wont be able to release the reservoir unless you unbolt the brackets. The aluminum shell will have captive nuts on the inside to fasten the entire bracket down. Next down,... is the acrylic piece's shape that I have to make. Finally,... the last one is the aluminum shell unfolded. I think its goign to look hot. They are small and "out of the way". There's going to be an add-on to mount shields. I'll draw that out later. OH, the "V" groove of the bracket is so that you can mount various size reservoirs, like DB's 2"OD dualies,...

[brinkdinges]

Those mounting brackets are going to look great, I like your drawings and the idea of using O-rings

Thanks dude. I forgot to mention,... the way im going to keep the acrylic inserts inside the aluminum shell,... I'm going to drill 2 holes right through the entire bracket. I'm goign to slide in a1/8" arcylic rod with the same width and then glue it in place No extra hardware Just 2 acrylic looking holes The only way to get the acrylic out is to bend the shell open Hot right?

[tribaloverkill]

Hey people. Sorry for the pause in updates. I was sick in bed. I'm still sick now but I forced myself out of the bed because laying in bed for a few days doesnt do me any good. Best to keep moving. So,... I did some work the other day. Not much but I did some. I have to work tonight but I have off two days after and I have off friday and saturday too so I plan on getting a load of work done then.

How was all of your Thanksgivings!?!?!? Mine was poppin!!! HOLYS@#$!!! I had so much fun!!! So drunk lol. I took a quick phone video!! LOL. It was at my sister in law's father's house. I just met these people for the first time that night. We got so drunk so fast and danced the whole time. It was tight. I love those people. Their like, "You comin back for xmas right?!?!? Right?!?!?!". LOL. The guy in the white shirt in the far back left holding the beer is my brother.

Anyways,... some shiny aluminum.


I taped it off and and drawn what I needed on it and then cut the tape awsay and drilled.


I scroll sawed out the grooves. I am goign to try and mill out the grooves instead of filing. See how that goes.


Glued the brackets to this wood to be put into my vise.


Ok,... the 1/8" end mill cut through the aluminum like paper. Infact,... I was cutting my vise up too It's not bad but I was still cutting my vise a bit. The grooves cam out good but the ends of the grooves you can see the bit was riding to one side though. I think its because I was cutting into the vise though. Next time I want to sink the end mill into the chuck a bit more to cut down on sway. I had the bit in the chuck pretty far but I'm thinking it still wasn't far enough.


I used a round file to to kind of ball the ends of the grooves to make them look like it was suppose to be,... but im not happy with this. I'm not goign to remake these because I dont have the time. I'm just going to keep going. This does not effect the brackets at all so yea. I might remake the ones going to acryan though. I dont want them to think I wanted it that way.


Filing,... I milled wooden jaws for my vise so I didnt scratch the polished aluminum. I stuck 1/8" drill bits on the holes to keep the pieces from sliding apart. By the 3rd one I stopped doing this though. I just made sure they didnt slide apart when clamping them down.


Filed out and nice looking. Have to sand this side though. A lot of burr from using the table sander to shape them.


Very nice.


Sanded with some dry 220grit. Nice and smooth.


I am trying to decide if I want to mill out bends. I was thinking about doing it the way I cut the props. I am thinking that maybe the small 1/16" bit might like,... not work that well? I dont know. I'll do a practice piece first. So yea. Till then,...

Yeah that's a shame thanksgiving would be cool But we do have sinterklaas!! And without thanksgiving we can be drunk too.

[GC_Vos]

Lol Wava. XD Anyway, Sinterklaas is Saint Nicholas in English, which is a person who kinda acts like Santa during Christmas, but has a horse and, well, black slaves (I know, I'm not a racist) to help him rather than a sled with Rudolph in front of it. We do have a christmas tree!

[DeKemp]

And he comes from Spain all the way to Holland by steamboat called pakjesboot.

[Jeroenotje]

That alu looks HOT!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus
Santa Claus in other countries has been made more populair by the Coca Cola commercials. Ghehe, we dutch guys are one of the biggest drinkers in the world. Besides that, we can start drinking at 16yo (driving a car when 18, weird right?), we can buy Marihuana and we have hotter chicks. LOL. Tribal, why don't you come over to Holland?
