The Intelligence - Day 53 - Final Fabrication II
marked off the cut-outs for the roller dial trims

wide shot of the upstairs mini workshop, or "clean" workshop, now that its a bachelor pad, I thought "hey, why the f... not?"

roller dials taken off the paint hangers

got the acrylic parts on the the ol' saw

one down

two down

then the tabs that will hold the long screws needed drilling out, pilotted with 1/16 (in pic), then blasted em out with 9/64

there's all the parts, ready for assembly tomr

had to cut the psu exhaust tube that will mount to the shroud. like my artsy camera shot? Dont worry, I already smacked myself

cut, filed, sanded

ok, dear god WAIT!
there's a drill on the table, next to the finished case lid? wait, let me just say....

DEAR GOD NOOOOOO!
oh yes, lay back and relax... "I'm a good doctor"

...

after surgery, in recovery. see was that so painful?
In case none of you followed that drama, this latch bracket has a whole history and to make a long story short, its leg ended up over sized (8-32 from 6-32) but I never drilled out the case to accomodate the new size. Thats what this was all about
win

oh dear god DUST! FLASH! NOOOOO!!!

anyway thats the two diff size screws holding in the part - not noticeable unless in a disgusting pic such as this

a bevy of parts ready for assembly tomr

since I ran out of time I tacked the cylinder to the shroud in two small spots, to let it set up over night so I can handle it freely tomr where I will 2-ton epoxy it all crazy like, and begin assembling all of the other stuff

thanks for watching

days remaining: 1 (or so I hope)
sorry I didnt get the switch panel photo today, but I will have it tomr
