--- Quote from: theCoder on March 22, 2007, 11:14:07 pm ---Have you thought about building the vivarium into the base of the cab? --- End quote --- Nope! I admit the WOW effect of having a live lizard in the base of the cab, or even in the top marquee would be great, but as zenmasterbooty said, I don't think he would appreciate the sound. Also, these little guys grow to about 18 inch long... I included a picture of a vivarium I saw at the "salon des reptiles". My viv will probably look like it, but will be 2 storey. (put 2 of those on top of each other and you'll have an idea) --- Quote from: theCoder on March 22, 2007, 11:14:07 pm ---How are you going to treat the stainless steel? Keep it smooth & shiny, or sand some cool swirly patterns in? --- End quote --- The stainless already have a "brushed" finish so I don't think adding pattern to it would give a good results. I will probably use it as is since it is meant that way. --- Quote from: theCoder on March 22, 2007, 11:14:07 pm ---What about lighting the trackball? I had great success on my last project drilling three holes in the bottom of the trackball case, and glued the led's right in. No need for an extra third party retainer or bracket. --- End quote --- Aaaah I remember reading that post. The LEDs directly in the TB case was a good idea :cheers:. My trackball already has a small light bulb installed. I'll replace it with 3 yellow LEDs. I'll do some testing to see how it looks when lit from below. If the effect is nice, this is what I'll do since it's seem easier (I might even be able to reuse the actual retainer with a small mod). If the lighting is bad, I'll try your idea. Thanks for the feedback!! |

With this, I should be able to work in the workshop without having dust everywhere :applaud: I'll probably stop by the hardware store sometime this week to get MDF sheets. I'm not sure yet if I'll laminate or paint the base of the cabinet (black)... Anyone has recommendation on this? I'm supposed to receive my joysticks tuesday. I will probably work on the CP layout, so I can post the first draft for feedback... PS: I went to one of my favorite store this weekend (cantire) and got myself a new :tool: A biscuit joiner... I'm planning to use it for my vivarium assembly. Maybe it will be usefull for the cab assembly too... |

Last friday, I've received some T-moldings. I'll probably go with yellow, black or "chrome". I'll see when the CP art is done... |

You might want to add weather stripping around that new door to make sure the dust stays in the shop and not the rest of the basement. TTFN :cheers: Kaytrim |
