after 2-3 days of work, here is what i got. soccer practice and school, materials have slowed me down but im actually fairly close to finishing. well, kinda anyway.
gluing meh hinges on. this was an insanely dumb process in which i was stupid and the acrylic was even dumber. but it worked, and nothing was damaged (more on that later)
you can kinda see how the gray backing was destroyed and you can see the mirror part. i was freaking out right about now because i thought the mirror would be jacked. its fine (again, more later)
going to be the top of one of the arms to the boxes. the whole in the middle is where the hole saw is going to be drilled through. im using a 1.5" diameter hole saw bit. 24 pins fit through it, and thats all i care about...
carbide bit. teethed bits with just destroy it (at least thats what i hears) so DONT use them. unless its hacksaw bit but i couldnt find one of those.
box with 3 sides up. a few things need to be worked out however. im going to attach the final sides (not the ones with holes) with velcro and scraps of acrylic, which will be so much fun.
the joint boxes are coming out of this sheet. 3x3x3 :)
:) hole sawed out, 1.5" diameter (or close anyway)
THIS is how i know that just because i showed the mirror part im not screwed. i scratched off, with the same glue stuff that i attached the hinges with, the gray backing till i exposed the silvery part. it was this piece and can you tell at all?
12x12 getting sawed
original little hole thing
not sure why i dont have more pics, but they wouldnt really be needed. i just repeated the hole saw thing with the 12x12s, so im done with it (till the joint boxes anyway which are going to SUCK) unforuently, i dont have anything for tubing. going to use either copper, aluminum, or PVC i have decided...
