thats a lot of hardware. make sure you make good use of it :D
you got me curious with those O-rings >.<
Got a new CAMERA!!! Well a used one but it's all good! If I bought a camera like this brand new it would cost me around 1000 - 1500. I got mine for $245! It's a Sony CyberShot F717. It takes amzing pics! It has 5mp's. Takes awesome macro shots. See for yourself!

This is the camera. I took these pics with my phone.
This is how close I can take a picture with this cam! Right up on it! I really miss being able to do this. Check it out!
Got more stuff in the mail! Got all this from ebay. About $162 for all this. Look how clear the pic is!
130, 60mm x 60mm x 15mm fans. I got these for like,... $37 total. Thats 28 cents each!
Going to use these to design small compact stuff.
I got a lot of 10, 80mm x 80mm x 25mm fans. 25mm or 1" is the thickness of a common pc fan. I got the 80mm's for $29 total. Also,... I got a lot of 10, 60mm x 60mm x 25mm for $34 total.
The difference. I still have to get some 120mm fans.
10,... 40GB, 5400rpm, IDE Western Digitals for 71 total. Not the best drives in the world but they are cheap and they all work:) Will use them as props or tools for designing HDD cages and such. This way my final pics of the cages wont be empty. You know?
Here are some various socket bolts that I got from boltdepot.com. Four sizes,... 4-40, 6-32, 8-32, and 10-24. which in metric is M3, M3.5, M4, and M5. The lengths,... 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/2", 2", and 3". I forgot to order the button head ones. I have to do that. These are being sent to alex.
Ok,... this is for Teyber. You wanted a pic of my scroll saw, here it is! It's actually my mothers. I have to get my own. It's nothing fancy man.
The blade,... here's where I get to show off with the camera. I forgot how many teeh per inch it is. But it's quite small.
Need a close up? Here you go. You see how the aluminum rubs off on the blade? This actually builds up and catches the alunimum as you cut, picking it up and slamming it down. This is why you should use some kind of cutting oil.
This is for gruntman,... close up of the bit I use as a milling bit to cut grooves for easier bending:) Now you can see what I've done.
Ok,... here's the bending thing I was trying to expain last time. You see the line with the letters? A: is the length of aluminum after the bend. B: is the length of aluminum of the bend. C: is the radius of the pipe your bending with. D: is the length of aluminum before the bend + the pipes radius. The ends of the bend are the lines before and after B. At those points the aluminum is straight. Now, you see where it says base to bend? After you make your bend. If you rest one flat side on a table and measure from the table surface up to EITHER line before or after B you get the base to bend line. For the pipe I used and thickness of aluminum,... I got 1-3/64". What is this number for? This is how you determine the length of A. Say you want this shield that has one bend to be a MAX of 10". You subract 1-3/64" from 10" and whatever you get will be the length of A. You see the line before A? Thats the very edge of your piece of aluminum. You measure from that edge. So from the edge you make a line at whatever length you get by subracting 1-3/64" from whatever your max height is. From that line you mark another line specifying the length of aluminum for this bend, which is 1-9/16". From that line you measure 53/64" and mark another line. This is the radius of the pipe your using. It's this line that you clamp your angle iron too as you seen me do in previous pics. For the length of D,... you do the same. figureout what you want you MAX length to be and then subract 1-3/64" from it. Whatever you get will be D. Understand? Now this will only work of 1/16" aluminum being bent over a pipe with a diameter of,.... S@#$! I dont remember! I cant see it in the pic either! Crap. I'll tell you later when I go back. Wait? 53/64" + 53/64" = 1-21/32". LOL. The diameter ofthe pipe has to be 1-21/32". I got this pipe froma local home improvements store so it's got to be an standard size. Right? I dont know, just check it to be sure.
More showing off,... Base to Bend, length of bend, radius of pipe.
So yea. I didnt get much done this weekend:( I have off tonight. I am going to sleep a bit and then go back and get as much as possible done. I work sunday but have monday off. I will be working all of monday too. Oh my thumbs are 180px now.
That's a lot of gear. I want some lol.
Ok,... I didnt get any interesting done. All I did was measure and measure and then I measured some more! I did some thinking too. I don't want to screw this up. I dont want to remake any of this stuff. Anyways,... I did all the measuring/ drawing I could. The rest will be measured/ planned once I start to literally draw out the center shield on some aluminum. So yea. I finished around 12pm today. I could of got started making this thing but I decided not too. Because I REALLY want to get started so I didnt. Why? Because I want to give myself some extra time to think about all this JUST in case there is something I might of missed. So I have plenty of time to look over all I have done. So yea.

Some BS pics I took in between all my drawing and planning. This camera had nightvision so I can take what it calls night shots. Very cool shizz.
BOO!
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!! It HURTS! IT HURTS! *changing into a werewolf*. AHHHHHHHHHHH!
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Maybe not:)
Ok to the drawings,... using what I told you guyz in my last update I was able to determine the max length of aluminumm I need for the center shield.
This is going to be the open for the hoses. It's 3" by something else. I dont know. LOL.
Oh yea,... 3-23/32". How could I forget that? You see what I did in the drawing? Instead of just saying my opening going to be whatever whatever,... I wanted to know how many holes I can get within a certain amount of space. Each hole being,... I dont know. I think their like 9/16" in diameter. So that with 1/8" spacing I lined them up! H = hole, S = space, E = edge. Thats 20 holes! I dont know if I need that many but better to have to many then not enough right?
Here's everything planned out or as far as I can plan.
Both sides right here.
This is the inner shield bracket,...... thing. Yea. Both sides. They are the same.
Center shield. This is as far as I'm going to plan on paper for this thing because there's a lot more and I dont want to waste time doing it on paper. I know what I want I just have to draw it out.
Twizzler?
My new bed! A $10 blow up mattress:) I think I'm goign to go ahead a get this COT thing I sqaw for like $50. I got this thing instead because it was cheaper and beats sleeping on the floor. Well,... I still have to sleep on the floor here and there with this thing because sleep on it is weird?!?! The floor kind of,.... i dont know. Anyways,... Im afraid this thing wont last long with all the aluminum shards all over the floor! I vacuumed most of them up but damn I cant get them all. Oh well.
Now,... I have to work tonight but have off tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day I get started. I will have actually pic of S@#$ you want to see. Cool? Peace. Oh im using 800px pics now. I made a new watermark stamp that I'll be using starting the next update. I had to make a bigger one because the pics this camera takes are huge. The other stamp wasnt big enough. Anyways.
haha...hell yeah livin in your shop!
Those are some impressive sketches, nice planning.
I'll take those twizzlers :D Looking good though
