I'll keep ya in mind. I have plans for building a new system but am short on extra cash right now. I'm pretty good with wood, just never thought about fabing my own case but am flooded with ideas now. You gonna start building cases on the side?

**forcifer** · 01-20-2008, 01:59 PM

probably my only job really. would be awesome though! im only 15 and there arent a whole lot of options for me. please, if anyone wants, id probably sell most of them at ~$40 depending on stuff. the current one, when im done, ill sell for probably $20-$30. if your really cheap, i could probably make one for about $10-$15, pm me

**forcifer** · 01-20-2008, 07:29 PM

just some work i did. if anyone wants anything special cut into the case, pm me

**forcifer** · 01-21-2008, 03:00 PM

i got burned :( (and clearcoated)

a different way to do letters

the texture of when this wood gets burned hardcore, and what i think the end result will be

**oddball2910** · 01-21-2008, 03:02 PM

What are you doing to scorch the wood yet keep it controlled?

**forcifer** · 01-21-2008, 03:03 PM

propane torch. going to try lighter fluid also, to see how it works

**oddball2910** · 01-21-2008, 03:10 PM

it looks very nice, i'm interested to see how the lighter fluid will change the appearance.

**carsey** · 01-21-2008, 03:19 PM

I doubt it will really much, as the fluid will just burn off the top of the wood.

thats sorta what i want, because it really isnt pure wood just paneling. but the torch does look really cool, and if it aint broke dont fix it

01-21-2008, 06:49 PM

I would buy that, to bad Im broke

. Truly amazing work with the blowtorch, and great design idea. W00t for the case modders of the future!!

thats what i'm thinking, if we dont disclose how to build a case, then we can make money off orders!

me being at college this fall and all, i could make a killing once i learn fiberglass! lol

ebackhus · 01-22-2008, 12:39 PM

Do you have plans to seal it in any way? That'll affect the color of the un-burnt areas.

**forcifer** · 01-22-2008, 01:34 PM

yea i have some pray on clear coat

**ashumann12** · 01-22-2008, 02:32 PM

"Pray" on, wow now thats good stuff!

**forcifer** · 01-22-2008, 03:19 PM

haha i meant spray on...up next: plexi cube :)

**carsey** · 01-22-2008, 03:31 PM

Plastic is hard to work with...Looking at my case, you would need to mould it to be able to get a decent chance of it working

**forcifer** · 01-22-2008, 03:38 PM

im going to try 1/4" plexi/acrylic, which i could drill through/glue together. will have to see how current case turns out first
