The Intelligence - Day 22

crazy hinge action, center-punched...

drilled out 9/64 for 6-32 screws to pass thru

placement

center-punched

drilled out (pic was missed during the actual work, so I had to use a pic from later during spot priming)

began sanding pinhole refills, and re-spot-priming the various areas

still needs more work

bottom part of case for first round of spot priming, pin-hole checking

(same idiot maneuver like before, didnt take pic at the time, took later

)
still needs work

set all that stuff aside to dry and painted the hinges

4 coats prime

4 coats black gloss

4 coats clear (weird pic, looks hazy. near epic in person tho

)

more tomorrow more today
couldnt post this until this morning (saturday) since ocn has been down more than a $5 ho lately

Thanks for watching

Hey CR!

This is really looking clean and professional.

Keep up the great work... I'm lovin' it!

CR - Did you ever figure out how to hold the stud bolt in the hinges? Or did I miss it somewhere,lol.

How goes the pinhole finding? Meticulous eh?

pinhole refilling/resand/reprime is going to be the death of me

, nah, I think I am closer now, maybe one more round today. The only thing that sucks is how fast the evercoat batch goes bad (sets). I wish I had something that lasted like 20 mins, but w/e, cant switch now.

As for the hinges I need 2 screws about 1 1/4" and an acorn nut for each. The screw needs to be like a 4-40 to fit thru. Or possible a shoulder bolt and small acorn, that would look nice. My local hw store doesnt have acorns, and the thinest screws they have are 6-32, and M3

mcmaster has what I need last time I checked but somehow I think I will end up with way too many left overs

thanks guys

**repo_man** · 08-30-08

Ahhh yea, bolt + acorn nut. I don't know why that idea had escaped my mind

lol

The filling, you could try to use less hardener to give you a little longer curing time. But you're going to have to guess around until you find just how little you can use before the resin doesn't harden at all,lol. Also, don't use it in the sunlight, that accelerates the hardening. I do believe you're doing it inside with no sunlight by the pics, but just in case,lol.

CattleRustler · 08-30-08

yeah, I am already on the low end of cream hardener amount, and you are right, I am inside so no direct sunlight. I think I am going to go down there in a little while and mix a batch and fill now, so if when I sand later, if more needs to be done (which I am hoping it wont) then I can get a second batch done in the same day.

I think today I need to focus on the mobo tray mounting holes thru the back of the case bottom, and I am going to have to mess with hole placement since one of the holes is in line with one of the case rails I made, so i will have to offset that. And I have an idea for simplifying how the lower mobo screws get secured

woah that hinge looks like a ghost!
can't wait til the rest of the case gets paint though

hehe, yeah, the flash kept going off regardless of how much light I tried to shed on the situation (I really need to install an overhead 2*4' fluorescent fixture in my shop)

cant wait to begin painting either

but there are a few more things that need to be done before then. Since this is a long weekend I am hoping that by the end of it (end of monday) nothing will remain with the case that prevents painting from starting at any time. Then it will be an issue of setting up a paint box. I am considering a "drying box" to decrease the time needed to get something set up. We'll see

Stupid question I know, but have you tried manually turning off the flash? Does this create a picture that is too dark, or does your camera lack this feature? (Do not laugh; I have owned cameras that either flashed, or you did not take a picture.)
