    Default Project: Ice Cream Headache

    Remember back in day when I did a CraftStick Airplane PC? Well, even though a lot of people hated that project and wished I never did it. I still thought it was fun and wanted to revisit the idea. This time, however, I will make a case of craftsticks!

    1st side is done



    I don't want the case to be any wider than a CD/DVD drive



    So I started by adding the lip on which the drive rests on



    Like so....



    Then I created the top and bottom of the case just wide enough





    Second side is done



    I use extra drives to stand it up



    Then I make the lip wider



    And stand both sides up



    Then carefully add the top



    Next comes the bottom. Adding the PSU helps press down the sticks for the glue to dry



    The bowing sides will go away when the rest of the supports are added



    Time to build the supports. This will cover the area below the DVD drive



    Then the lip to the sides where the front will rest



    Once it's added, I rest drives on top to even out the glue



    After just four hours, I'm nearly done

    So I measured out the back IO ports and PSU



    And started on it



    I then cut out some sticks for the front bottom to even it out



    Here's just a shot of what the inside looks like



    Next I framed out the CD drive. In this case beige really is the perfect color



    Look at the front closely and you'll see the "V" pattern I glued on to break up the normal look of the craft sticks



    I'm still working on the back though

    I created a small bridge over the PSU to anchor the rest of the back to



    Then added some sticks to hold the PSU in place



    And I am done! Enjoy the rest.










    Thanks for Watching
