Mountain Juke for mom (Upd. 12-Apr-09 Final Pics and Movies, Finished)
Martijn:
a router with the correct bits
Martijn:
Small update with dark pictures :P
Started on polishing the plexi, its going OK. still not shiny enough
i have 600,1000,1600,2000 grid and polish wax
Do i need to make the sandingpaper wet?
I also got the monitor fitted.
That's all for now.
Franco B:
Looking good Martijn :)
I only went up to 1200 grit when polishing (320>600>800>1200). It looks like you have a good even finish with no scratches but obvioulsy its not glossy shiny. I imagine that the polishing wax you are using isn't quite doing the job. I got a Novus polishing kit sent over from the US and its really does work well. I had similar results to you after polishing up to 1200 grit but as soon as you use the first polishing solution in the Novus kit the shine really appears which is then enhanced by the second solution.
[This] is the kit I bought from US eBay. They also do a [smaller] kit too.
What router bit did you use to do the bevel on the CD slot?
Martijn:
hi and thank you for the tip.
Ill search for this product. or i didnt use the wax properly, ill test some more tonight.
i placed the router with 2 pieces of wood on both sides so i could slide left and right without moving up or down.
then cut the slot with the smallest
then use this bit for the bevel. it worked out great
Franco B:
I didn't think you would be able to get a roundover or chamfer bit with a bearing small enough to follow the profile of the slot but I didnt realise you did it with a plain chamfer bit. I would never have though of that, I guess you just set the chamfer bit central to the middle of the slot? Good job :applaud:
