TRIBALOVERKILL, "Blackout"

[tribaloverkill]

I think this thread might break the forums. We might have to split it into 2 threads once it hits the 100 pages mark...for decency's sake more than anything else. I don't think there's ever been a thread this size before.

This is fine. Just let me know what you want me to do or what your going to do,... do I get a reward or something for having the most pages?!?!? I'll take a sexy women and a cake. Thanks. Oh,... and, one of my other logs has 110pages! LOL. Going to ask them for a sexy women and cake too. LOL.

[Scotty]

lol, if you share the sexy woman and cake ill help persuade Dave get you it lol.

Nice stuff, but i'll be unhappy if the next update has no Sponge Bob torture.

[tribaloverkill]

I dont have sponge bob. I have to get more sponge bob toys. SB in in rotterdam! LOL. Dennis is torturing him now. I'll get another SB and others too.

Ok,... check it out. These letters are not final. I'm goign to go back and tweak some of them. I dont like how how of them turned out. But still it's very cool.

The font style im going with,...

Very nice.

Cut em out with the scroll saw.

Tracing for the uv equiv's,...

Making long rivets. I'm using heat this time. I need the head to look nice and uniform all the way around. I need them to mash into the letter countersinks as good as possible.

The iron mold sink,...

Letter countersinks.

Rivets in place,...

Front side,...

Up close,...

Posts installed. This was a pain in the ass. The threaded opposts are made of zinc which heat up red hot quick! Next time,... I do not want to use heat to install the posts. I only want to use heat to mash the latter side of the rivet into the rivet countersink. They look sloppy but just need a bit cleaning up.

Here's the lettter side with a quick sanding. Can barely see the rivets

Decided to round the letters.

[tribaloverkill]

Drill the post holes in the acrylic. the other little holes were only pilot holes to make this step easier.

So damn cool.

Sample,...

Mounting the letters to another piece of aluminnum for polishing. All the holes are for the other letters.

BOOOYAAA!!!

Killer,...

You see the "A". Thats what I want! Some of the other letters are not as good. I think they need to be sanded a bit more. It's a game of chance though. If the rivet head are mashed in there good,... more sanding will help. IF there are more gaps,... it will get worse. I think im going to chance it and sand a bit more to see what happens.

You see how the "O" sint as good as the "U" and "T"?

So hot.

the back. Next time I want to try and hollow out a smaller diameter bolt. Next time I want to use stainless steel and not zinc.

Going to look bad @ss,...
