Hello everyone!
https://www.facebook.com/media/set/...073741875.106454076191837&type=1&l=9ddc39a9ce
NOTICE: there seems to be a problem with pictures showing up so ive attached a link to a album with pictures up above
So ive been working this project for a while now and ive noticed a few other builders are making they’re own bag as well like cavx. Whats cool is that everyone seems to have a different and creative way to make the bag and I find that interesting.
So I thought why not share my build and how its going so far.
Progress has been a little slow but thats only because im making it up as i go along. Like usual im trying to make the bag as accurate as possible so with every piece im taking my time and slowly knocking them out
So I started using 12” concrete tubing for the main body. I skinned it with styrene and then reinforced the inside to sturdy it up a bit
Then I closed up all the opening to get the thing ready for molding. Theres not much to this part, its just there to hold everything eles in place. Once it was ready I made a mold of it and made a epoxy and fiberglass cast.
So once I got the main body mostly knocked out, i started in the end cone pieced next. This piece to be is the heart of the whole bag. This piece will be design to have the sliding door mechanism. So im very hesitant with this piece as its a very important one so all I did was rough it out of insulation foam and coated in smooth cast. Its looking very ugly right now but im moving in a very slow pace with this one as im still not 100% sure how it will come together.
So as I put that piece aside I started with the sliding doors. I started with casting a fiberglass skin from the main body mold and cut out the recessed area for the handle. Most of that was made out of sintra. This piece had to be very precise so that when it opens and closes it comes together flush.

So that’s where the project is at right now. Like I said it’s slow and steady but its coming along very nicely. I will update the thread once i get more progress!
