That is why Bondo is such a great thing to have lying around.  ;D

You got that right! (I haven't counted the number of screw holes I have in the case yet, but I'm sure they number in the low hundreds.)

Damn - how did I fall to the second page without an update? Ah well. I've been busy!



From a construction standpoint, I'm almost close to completion! The monitor 'area' is roughed in, and still needs a fascia and some detail work to 'round out' the look. The rear door needs mounting hardware. I'm toying with a different idea for the interior wall now - so that it won't only act as "gun storage", but be something even more... There's some work to be done for the control panel mount, and then, I'm going to have to cut the panel I have in half (!) and extend it about an inch and a half. Fun, fun, fun.

I've got some other parts complete and others yet still in the works, but I'll do a more forensic follow-up later in the coming weeks. Right now, I'm very happy with how it looks, even if I have to tell myself there's more than a bit of 'repair' work to be done with the Bondo. I'm pretty sure that - repairing, sanding and repairing again - will be a week-long task, all on it's own.

such a sexy looking cab :)

How much did/will it cost? Just curious bc I'm going to make my own cab again, but not sure how intricate to go.

Most of my custom work was done with sheets of 4' x 8' 3/4" MDF, of which I think I've used three so far. I've also used a 48" x 48" sheet of 3/8" project board as well, for the vent and speaker covers. So, all in all, I haven't really spent too much in addition to a normal cabinet - unless you count the tools I bought to make it.

Now, if I go ahead with a couple of other ideas I have, then we might get into another $200 or so. But, we'll see.

While out last week, we went by Princess Auto (love that place) and found that they had my favourite hand clamps on sale again!



For $5 apiece for the 12" and $9 apiece for the 18", you can't really beat the price!

Later on in the week, we did some reshuffling, and moved my Wife's quilting machine (with a 4' reduction) into a different room, and reclaimed the larger (previously "craft") room as an exercise room, where my cabinet now resides...



But wait! What's that inside the cabinet???



Yup. The other day, my Wife told me (!) to go out and find the monitor for the cabinet, as she knew it was one of the last 'tech' pieces I needed to complete the work. So, I checked around, and found a nice 27" AOC on sale for $189 at Canada Computers. (Nice, considering it's regularly priced at $250 at both Best Buy and Future Shop!) It's just sitting there right now for it's photo op. I'll be building the mounts in the coming weeks.

So, we've got some work to do... When I do get a chance to make some progress on the cabinet - hopefully, it'll be a little cleaner, thanks to this little mod I did to my router.



Essentially, I cut a piece of plastic from (get this) a ketchup bottle (!) and modded up a vacuum attachment to my router. I'm CONSTANTLY getting covered in MDF dust (as I'm sure we all have, from time to time) and this seemed like a no-brainer to me. It's awful lately, since the last two weeks we've had 30+ degree heat, with some pretty bad humidity.

Anyway, onward and upward!

In case you're wondering why there's little-to-no progress, perhaps this graphic could shed some light...



Yes, that's the temperature outside my house. It's not 100% accurate, I'm sure, but it definitely feels close.

Southern Ontario, actually.

Actually, that's the outside temp. It's 90+ F inside, and that's on my portable AC...

:(

I was referring to "In: 33.2" - assume this is the indoor temp.  Which is my outdoor temp.  I suspect your device is fkt, as a quick look at the southern ont weather (my locale as well) shows a max of around 35 over in Strathroy.  I dont think we've ever hit the 50's in these parts.  Maybe your device just can't handle the 30's and is losing its mind?  Or did you leave it in your car  ;)

Yeah. The sensor outside is in full sunlight right now, so I'm guessing the information it's providing may be a bit ... flaky.

It did get to 45  with the humidity in south weatern ontario last week.  We have never had it in the 50s.  That record surprisingly belongs to manitoba.

I suspect the 47 was the humidex value.  Right now my part of southern Ontario is at 23 (humidex of 29).  A nice break from the heat-wave.  Climate change is certainly being felt these days.

Fahrenheit or Celsius? I always imagined Canadians had igloos and furry over garments.
It's around 8-10 here in New Zealand this morning.

Whats a Fahrenheit?  Just kidding.  That's Celsius.  Not sure there are many countries left using that old Fahrenheit thing.  And 47F is not particulary compatible with humidex, afaik.

I think those 313.9 million Americans would have something to say about that. What's the population in New Zealand again, 4 million?   :lol

And I always thought New Zealanders had ...wait...no one actually thinks about New Zealand. Only Australians...they're the same right?  >:D  :o

Now if you excuse me, I have to close the ice-door to my igloo.

It was the land of Hobbits, but then Sauron came, it all went to ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, and they moved to Canada.  Igloos are a lot like hobbit holes, so it was an easy change for them to make.  Otherwise the population there would exceed 100mil!

A number of those 300+ million Americans are already metric - so many fields require it.  And even though Canada switched a great many years ago, I still measure my height and weight and bits of wood (not that wood, pervert!) the old fashioned way.  Temp and volume I do metric.  At least we don't weight things in "stones"  ;D

Hmm, maybe that's what I can use the bloody great stones in my garden for?
Wait, they're little boulders.
I weigh half a little boulder and a few pebbles.

This joint is full of smartarses, love it.

LOL, and I actually even worked for 5+ hours today on the cab, darn it!

A lot of this was working with the darn rear door mechanism that I'm still not 100% happy with. I think tomorrow I'll post up a bit of an 'expose' of the work... ...maybe someone has some experience with the door hinges that could point me in the right direction for a solution.

Beyond that, I'll move the cabinet into an empty space, and take a bunch of pics. I'm getting to the point where, after a couple more 'build sessions', I'll be ready to prime and paint the cabinet. CAN'T WAIT!

Here's an old cab I built a few years ago, for inspiration ^-^


I am totally confused by posting pics of your build in another builder's build log for no obvious reason.  Doing it for, "hey I did it this way" or "see this to clarify my suggestion" is one thing...what's your thing?

Ok, I've been working on a couple of updates, and I'm sorry that I haven't taken as many progress pictures as I should have, but I've just been plugging away, trying to get as much done as possible.



Here's the cab, with completed monitor mount and surround.

I've managed to fit the plexi in front of the monitor, and - with great challenge - managed to get the monitor mount perfect. (This pic is actually before I took it all apart, and raised the right side by 4mm. It wasn't straight, and was extremely noticeable up close.) The only thing I have to remember to do, is make and install a blackout to surround the monitor bezel. I'm thinking black cardboard should do the trick, unless any of you experts recommend I paint the plexi instead?

I hope to have more progress pics this week to show off a couple of other things I've done/am doing. I'm almost complete the fabrication, and then, I have to take much of it apart for final fitting/modification, sanding and painting!


Oh, and I forgot...


FIGHT!!!
