Project: Elements of Fortune

Very nice work, really nice attention to detail. This thing looks like its gonna be huge! oh yeah,

For the assembling of the side panels and front/back panels.
I’ll use these pieces of wood (don’t know how you call them in English)

They are usually called "dowel rods"

waaaw thank you very much !! you won't regret this - This will be my best project ever !

As sketchup is a very simple program... there are some plugins that allow rendering. This is the result:

every strut is made by hand, one by one...

This takes much time, so I started to calculate the cogs and gears that will come inside the "eye-candy" reservoir.

First, I'm going to make them in wood... so that I can see if they really are working (because I don't want to throw away good plexi if my calculations are wrong)

The idea is to put several cogs in the reservoir: as shown in the sketch:

Nice man, the attention to detail here is great!

[tomcatt]

thank you killerman and dont-fear

The struts are still being glued together. A lot of work there :o

I also tested them if they give a good look with LED light.

Final LEDs will be blue though

I also made the other white rafters

By measuring

Sawing

And then it has to look like this when it is placed in the bottom.

I also need to make holes in the struts, so that they can fit like I had in mind

bye
