hahaha, im trying to be careful with it.  thanks for looking out.  as for the belts, i had to change them before i started doing anything.  hahaha, it comes set to like 3200 rpms or something like that.  i honest.y doubt that i wll ever have much wood to drill with it so i nocked to all the way down to 620 which is much better for drilling plastics.  im excited to see the diamond plate shinning with some lights.  you have to keep in mind its not polished yet either.  when its over it should look chrome plated.

yeah i cant wait to see this done lol

[haloloser]

went to a really cool store today and picked up some nuts, bolts, and a tap.  i got them all from a really good deal.  they are also going to replace all the hex head bolts on the project thus far.



i started to attach the bay cover to the the bay holder, but the bolt stuck out too far so i have to go with another method.



an idea of what it should look like.

i also started on the pump/res house.  i got the two side pieces on.  tomorrow ill add the front and back pieces, and fabricate the top.



another view with the bolts.  i think its looking good.  ill get some  more pics up tomorrow.

looks great!! i cant get over how great the diamond plating looks!

[eminvil_12]

yeh its looking very good.

painting that diamond plate a dark blue or something or the plexi with a translucent paint would look great.

keep up the good work

It's been awhile since someone posted in this thread so here we go. I might as well use it to ask a question. I'll probably get flamed for this, but what does WIP stand for?

[paulharris2005]

lol

[Chewonit64]

Wow, that makes me feel like a tool. Updates soon?

thanks guys, im about to go to school, but i should have an update up this evening.  i doubt i will be painting the diamond plate.  hopefully by the time i get it all finished, when i put the side panel on it wont look like ive used too much.  i think it will really work will with the "polished induistrial" look that im going for.  i used to be the same way about that acronym, so dont feel like a tool (unless of course, its a dremel because those guys can do  pretty much anything).  anyways, ill get something up later.

ill get some more pics up tomorrow.

what a hoot, that was what, five days ago.  im sorry ive been out of town and stuff, but its back to the grind.  


i got tired of workin on the pump house, so i had and idea.  i think its going to look great in the end.


i used a small piece as a spacer that will be lit.


kinda what it will look like from the top.  the fan will be mounted inside the case, while the diamond plate and plex will be mounted on top as pictured before.


a pic in the dark.


see how sick thats gonna look when its mounted.  im gonna put it together tomorrow, and hopefully it will look as good as this picture does.

things i still have to do before the blowhole will be completed:
grind and polish the edges of the diamondplate and plex.
cut the hole in the case top
mount

ill post more pics tomorrow.

I thought you were going to use that diamond steel to put a jewel in the middle.

[snow rider221]

wow the fan is simply amazing!! nice work

[haloloser]

im still trying to think of a way to incorparate the jewel into the project somehow, but as of right now im not having any luck.  its four am and ive been playing halo all night.  happy turkey day.  here are some picas of the finished product.  im very close do being finished with the inside of the case, so be prepared for everything to start coming together.


yay, ugly pic of the idea


here she is mounted.  keep in mind alot of the metal work still needs to be filed down on the edges.  


this is the good stuff.  skeet.


i started to grow a beard.  i look like o have a double chin in the picuture, but my gf looks cute.  she is the mastermind behind the project.
