UPDAAAAAAAAAAATE!!!! So things are smoothing out over here. I got back with my gurl,... I gave it a second chance in hopes that it works out between us this time around. I was so going to just move on because I was just tired of all the BS. I tried but after a certain point you just have to run away. Better to start over in hopes that the next person doesnt have a ton of BS for you then to sit back and argue over and over trying to fix something that will most likely never be fixed. With my gurl,... she is young,... I think she can change. From what I have seen from her in the last several days,... I think she can. There a huge part of me that says she wont because these days people dont change for nobody. You either like it or you dont, even if it something stupid that could easily be changed. It's not like I am trying to change my gurl,... but it is something that she does need to change not just for me but for everyone if she should end up dating someone else later down the road should our relationship not work. Anyways,... all is good now. The garage is pretty much done. I bought alot of new tools and I have been trying to organize the garage so evrything hd a place. Crazy thing it that I still have stuff coming in the mail so this will be going on for the next week. I have begun working on blackout now even though the garage is still all over the place. Anyways,... I will be doing work on blackout here and there,... everday, every other day,... till shes done. Heres the update,...
Here's where I left you guyz,...
I bent all the fan tabs up. I should of bent the middle shield/ brace tabs first but no biggie, just would of been easier to bend them first.
Fan tabs done.
Rack coming together.
One of my new toys. I LOVE THIS FRIGGIN THING!!! ARGH!!! Check it out,...
Orbital function,... instead of the blade moving straight up and down, it moves in a slight circular motion so that on the down stroke the blade doesnt touch what you are cutting. It cuts down on friction. Friction is one of the reasons the blades wear out let alone the grinding itself in the down stroke. Friction is heat,... bad fo acrylic. This means that the acrylic wont melt as easily. I have not proven this yet seeing I havent cut any acylic but it makes sense. I had cut a piece of aluminum with this thing and DAMN!!! I never cut a piece of aluminum so fast with a jig saw!!! LOL.
Here's a shot of the blade in motion. You see the little hump in the stroke right under the bottom of the jig saw,... thats the tip of the blade in its up most position. It's moving is a circular motion.
It also has a fricken laser!!! These shots were taken while on a surface as in the laser is on the surface.
This shot the jig saw is being held as in not on a surface,... I adjusted the beam so that its right in the very center of the blade. So the beam you see is the blade. HOW FRIGGIN COOL!!!!
Now more "U" shank blades which means no more screw drivers to get the damn blades out. This thing is totally toolless. Hot.
Anyways,... here the side pieces.
Almost done.
All together.
Fans resting ontop.
Riveted.
HDD in place. I could bolt it into place because the rivets were in the way, just by the slightest though. Some filing will cure that.
This is not one of my favorite pieces. I enjoyed making it but its not my favorite. The fact that I cant get it to look relly nice is one factor. The other because its goign to be covered up. It is a quick simple fix to keep me moving forward. I think down the road I will pump out a couple of universal HDD racks that actually look nice. I have to get a tig welder first:) Thats the key:) Sorry about the pics. They lok pretty good but I am using my old POS 3mp camera. I miss my gurls camera. I am going to have to steal it from her. Either that or get a new one 5+mp camera. I need something with higher resolution. Anyways,... till the next update:) PEACE!
There you go,... feel better? LOL. More to come soon.
Glad everything @ home is smoothing out! The new toys look like fun :D
And as always the work you put Amazing! 8)
Keep it up (both in and out of the Garage!)

Glad to hear things are better, and glad to see your triumphant return, or whatever you want to call it, to the boards and to this mod. Can't wait to see what else you have planned.
hey welcome back!--Man they are putting fricken' lasers on everything these days!..whats next, laser condoms?
