The Vewlix Fighter Cabinet - WIP. The cab is dead my friends.
Gatsu:
Thanks guys.
I'm gonna have to get a couple of bits this week then before i crack back on it this weekend. Thanks for the support. I really didnt want to kill the project either. But thanks to some family help the bills got paid and my cab project didn't have to die.
bgspot:
I'm excited to see the actual building too. Luv the design
Gatsu:
A small update. I got the 2 sides for the bottom box cut out.....but sadly that was it today. I got side-tracked helping a buddy put a new door on his truck. Fun fun.....
So tomorrow I'll hopefully have EVERYTHING cut out and ready to assemble.... But I'm really hoping I can get most of the cab assembled and ready to paint tomorrow.
I'll post more pics tomorrow evening when I am done.
Also....I tried the flush trim bit....and the bearing dented the top pattern piece pretty badly, also didn't like going through that MDF. It was making all kinds of horrible noises that it probably shouldnt be making. So I'm just gonna trim it with the jig saw as close as I can and just hand sand the rest. It'll take a little more time....but I can keep a better eye on it so I don't go too far. I really wished that had of worked though.
Bender:
something is seriously wrong there with the router situation
your removing maybe 1/8 in of material or less
should go through that like butter
you should bearly even feel like your removing any material at all
and I never dented a pattern piece, man you must have been fighting that thing hard
was this a really old bit? does the bearing spin freely? and are you moving the router in the right direction (you should only run it against the rotation of the bit)
Can't wait to see the Pics!
Gatsu:
the bearing oddly was spinning ok. I think the bit I got was too big for the job and did more damage than it was supposed to. I'll have to take it back tomorrow and get a smaller bit.
