Seeing this one picture made me realize what i want: Just extra space to cram all of my water cooling gear that is separate from the case. I can construct something similiar and have my current case sit on top of it.

Hmm... i surprised that no manufacturer has ever offered an external unit like this that would sit under the case.
 
Holy Mary mother of Jesus. The level awesome in this mod can only be surpassed by nothing. I bow to your awesome prowess.

Seriously, this is the sweetest thing I have seen to date. You have my vote! Hope to see the rest.

:D :D
 
nice skills.... you mave have just inspired me to do a wooden case as well.... not nearly as nice as yours but I will post it if I do end up making one...
 
Good and solid wood work. And the case looks great, now finally assembled.

Hey if I can lend any asistance, all you need to do is ask. I will follow your worklog too. Thank you
 
Because I have received emails asking about the locking mitre I thought I would post some pictures how it works.

The bit and fence were already adjusted from the other day.

First the horizontal board.

Then the vertical board.

Then a pic of the 2 different boards. The wider board was the vertical and the skinny board was the horizontal.

Then a pic of the joined boards.

Because of safety reasons I cannot take any action pictures unless my wife would help out. Maybe I can get my daughter to help but shes gonna want her picture in the log too. LOL
 
Yeah please don't take any pictures while you are operating the router table haha. That's one sick looking joint I have to say.
 
Very Very nice craftsmanship.

I would have gone a little smaller though.

Keep up the good work
 
My son came back from camp today to tell me he wants to start making more projects. When he showed me his latest work I had to agree. He loves computers and now wood working. Hes 9 years old.

You've passed beyond hobbyist, into the realm of the artisan. Well done sir.
 
this is coming along really well. we need to see more wood cases. i'm waiting for someone to make a case that looks like some really old Armoire or something.
 
I'd love to make my own wood case. There's plenty of reasons to justify it. For a start it's going to dampen vibration more than any other material. It's also going to be exactly the right size and dimensions for everything, because it's custom made. If I spent enough time working out exactly what was needed and where things were going to go I could end up with the perfect enclosure. I will never do it of course, I don't have the tools, and I've not even finished my (compared to this banal) upgrade. But maybe if my circumstances change... I do have a friend that is looking into giving up the rat race and going back to cabinet making. So maybe I could talk him into helping me.

The other style I'd like to see something in, is steampunk. So if I was given all the time in the world, money, inspiration and the know-how I'd make a functional wooden case, and it'd end up looking like something from H G Wells.

Anyway, don't be shy with the camera when this is finished. :)

I had thought of that. I will give it some thought and start a drawing.

Thanks I will post some pics with me and my son & daughter when I get the chance.
 
I had planned to do trim this weekend, but things changed. My wife's birthday is next Tuesday so I have finish shopping for her present. I think maybe tonight I will do the raised panel door frame. Since the frame is 2 1/2" deep with a 3/4" panel on the front I will route both sides and bottoms with the interlocking bit prior to cutting them to width. That way I have a 6 or 7 inch board to work with which is easier then the 2 1/2" board. Then I will cut them to the correct width. The boards will already be cut to length so this will make the entire process easy.
 
Cabinet making runs in my family and I have to say you are doing excellent work. Your router table is a sweet set up also.

Made my day.

I greatly appreciate the level of detail as this serves as an excellent guide as well as a worklog.
