    Hehe cheers Aldersan

    Not sure if I mentioned it here yet but I set a crazy deadline of 10th of March to get all of the aluminium cut & been grinding away like crazy to try & meet it.

    Wowzers 8 days left to get all the aluminium cut ready for further stages, this is 1 ultra tight challenge.

    Update as promised although not as progressed as I hoped for. I feel a slap incoming on the 10th if I don't dig deeper.

    Trust me I'm very aware I bit off a little bit more than I can chew with ease at the time limit I set for myself but I'm still grinding through the damn thing XD, I know that once I get past these 3mm high volume cut out pieces the rest will be nice & easy (in comparison), just these gamer sides I absolutely underestimated the effort they would take, I did consider making it less cut outs but left it & now I really know how hard I made things for myself.

    Here is where the first side panel is at, it seems to take a day per row but with each cut out taking a while I found myself moaning quite a bit in a state of bewilderment instead of just getting on with it so that's the key to getting heaps more done (shut up, stop thinking & mod not walking away for a quick break that turns into a couple of hours lol).








    :lol: Had to rotate the picture upside down to show correct orientation. :p


    I'll be extremely glad I chose to work through the most endurance pushing bits first but at this moment it's flipping tough going & a true test of patience to get through.

    The 10th sure was too tight of a deadline, simples, but a deadline is a deadline or it's a fail deadline, looks like 5 more days or less if I don't muck about on these gamer sides, then a day each for the front & back & htpc back which makes 8 days leaving no room for the rest of the 3mm easy panels & 2mm & 1mm, only way I can do it all in the deadline is if I wake up each morning & go straight at it & only pause for food & light chores not slacking off 1 bit until it's done, I feel it is doable & I shouldn't burn out neither & I'm not rushing it, just dedicated.

    Thanks Aldersan, I really doubt I can meet my silly deadline without rushing & working myself into the ground so I'm dropping the deadline but I'll just keep progressing each day.

    Okay I'll accept dropping the deadline as long as we still get updates at least once every two days!

    Yep, another one but I'm not burning out, just going at it nice & relaxed & just get what I can done in each session, the nice thing is after these high volume cut out panels it just gets easier.

    Thanks Aldersan, like some have said I must like punishing myself lol.

    I'll relax for a few more minutes & then start on panel number 2 of these.
