As most of you know i have a wavemaster case in black with a horrid blue tinted window.....
(see my site www.pilchy.co.uk for more pics of it as a bare shell.....) Well i have a spare panel and had decided i was going to get another window cut, probably flames of some sort. So i decided that i was going to jigsaw them out. BUT THEN! I met someone who works for an engineering company.... Who has CNC machines.... Now for them that dont know what a CNC machine is, it is a machine that they use for doing precise cutting of metal for engineering. Any how John said that he could do it... so i now have the design i want cut out.....  Now i needed to edit the image a bit (Looks rougher, but allows the panel etc strength.....)  So the rough look of what the design will look like on the case is this..  The final design will be a little larger than the one on the page and naoki and will be onto a solid black panel that i will place perspex behind..... When the panel comes back and i get the net again i will show you the finished result from the cut, then when i get completely. But once again Thanks John from Miltufit Engineering (Ill owe you a few drinks when you are back in devon) Pig for pointing me in the direction when i asked where to find pics of flames... and Naoki for bouncing ideas about

Oooh... I can see the tops of your shoes, and there's another one under the bed thing.... and is that a reflection at the bottom of the image? Hmmm... Curious...
That aside (there's always fun to be had looking where you're not meant to in images), I look forward to seeing how it turns out in the end - how much is it going to cost you to have done? |

Oooooh, classy design.
 What metal are you getting it cut from? Aluminium or what? Get your mate to anodise it and you can avoid a few more electric shocks maybe. And, I noticed your dirty trainers also. Is that a sock on your bed? What trainers you got then? --------------------

now i kinda forgot about this... damn spook dragging me off to play Battlefield 2... That boy is a bad influence....
Anyhow the pic is below... I would love to show you a pick of it on the case, but the problem is the case lighting on the inside isnt no-where near light enough(The tint is far too heavy). So eventually i am gonna nab even more cathodes and it should work... but the actual finish on the window does look spiffy! Attached thumbnail(s)
