March 4th, 2015 - Intel NUC Case Contest Build


 
#3 ·
That's part of the problem, Terry. Only other surface around is either the scroll saw and my saw bench (which is also covered with stuff at the moment). I just don't have enough space to have things out and not on my bench. It'll be clean by the weekend for sure. Chester is always wired, unless he's sleeping… it seems to be an "On or Off" lol

Very nice job on the chest Mos.

I like how you say "well the teeth were already stamped, I only had to…" and then you go on to list about 15 things.

Is that a tablet you have attached to the closet doors? Where are your Lamborghini Diablo and Farrah Fawcett posters?

Thanks for the update.

Getting your entry to them undamaged will be a challenge indeed; shippers are far from delicate. Hope it finds its destination safely. I'd love to see your shipping crate rendition; please post what you come up with.

Thanks for the update and good luck in the competition Mos.

March 23, 2015 - NUC Case Done, and Some Planes



This week I got the NUC contest case done, and applied finish! Unfortunately I can't show it just yet, so we'll still have to wait for that.

I also show a couple of my planes, and the other computer case I've been working on.

April 8, 2015 - Victorian Desktop, Mod Zoo Poster



This week I didn't get a whole lot done, but I did manage to get the foam cut out for the NUC contest shipping case, the custom window fitted for the Victorian Desktop, and got myself a Mod Zoo Poster.

April 15, 2015 - Victorian Desktop and Stanley #55



This week, I got some work done mounting the hardware, and getting the back panel worked on for the Victorian Desktop.

I also got my Stanley #55 out and sharpened a few of the molding irons. I did a couple of practice pieces in each size. I used the large molding iron to cut some longer pieces that I plan to use for a poster frame.

April 22, 2015 - Victorian Desktop and Stanley #2, #3c, and Fulton plane restorations



This past week I got a lot of work done on the Victorian Desktop. I got the back panel aluminum cut to size, and the cut out the various I/O areas. I finished the back frame, and mounted the side vent for the power supply.

The power button and pair of USB ports are also now installed in the front top of the case, and have done an initial round of planning the watercooling loop as well.

I also finally got around to cleaning getting my Stanley #2 iron cleaned up and sharpened so I can use it again if I want to. I also did the same treatment to my Type 11 Stanley #3c, and a 'The Fulton' jack plane.

Cool Fulton/Sandusky plane, bud. I don't really use vintage woodies much, but sure want to after seeing one like yours cleaned up. I have used Turtle Wax Rubbing compound on dirty trannies with awesome results…highly recommend it for a light, dry cleaning.

That Victorian case is a very nice piece!

The feet really tie the room together….

Your Workmate is cherry; super speed side vent production was cool.

Thanks Mos.

May 05, 2015 - Victorian Desktop, Side Vents, FT03 Mod



In the past week I got the metal back and screws painted for the Victorian Desktop, and the dovetails glued together. Next steps will be sanding and finishing of the mahogany pieces, then moving on to the system install. The project log for the Vicotrian Desktop can be found here:
http://themodzoo.com/forum/index.php/topic/2018-victorian-desktop-mosquito-updated-21st-apr-2015/?p=39437

I also got the side vents from last week done, epoxied together, and those are waiting to be painted now. Project log for that case mod can be found here: http://themodzoo.com/forum/index.php/topic/1949-mz-2-genesis-the-evolution-of-the-mod-munky-origin-pc-genesis-giveaway/page-11

May 27, 2015 - Victorian Desktop Almost Done, More Milling Cherry



This week I've gotten the Victorian Desktop all put back together, and am just working on the water loop now. I ran into a little snag with a leak or two that I need to address, otherwise it's basically done.

I also finished milling up the rest of the cherry for the project I'll be working on.

The NUC project came out very nice, Mos. It's as much sculpture as technology and something you would want to display instead of hide (like most computer components). Good luck in the voting.

cool as always…

Mos, I would say that you have too many 45's, but since I was just watching your tongue and groove video last night ( and building of the gorgeous panel saw) I will stop myself!

Plus, you are teaching many of us about the 45, so I suppose you need as many as your shop can house. :)

Happy 4th, bud!!!

CLEAN SLATE!

I'm pumped for you Mos. This will be a sweet set up.

Do you think that you will stay pretty exclusive to hand tools, or do you think you'll add some power tools to the mix now that space isn't as much of a concern?

Glad to hear you're running a gas line - I love having a gas heated shop.

Fuggin' brrrrrr! Was that a sippy cup hanging from your belt in the first part of your video?

Why waste all the wire by running it high then dropping it down to the boxes? Why not use nail plates to protect the wire on each stud? If it is the portion of wire in the bay that worries you it is not secure enough to not move aside should a nail/screw poke through at their level.

Sorry about your water troubles. Hope the French drain fixed your issue.

Thanks for the video always fun to watch.

I like the driver you made. That is slick with its own case. The turnscrews you received are amazing too.

You touched on a ton of stuff in this vid… gramps tools make your heart happy to use, the pcs you make are insane and cute cat is cute.

Fun too see your work as always and glad you made more progress in your shop. Thanks for the update.

What did you do about the water issue?
