Allllllllrrrrriiiigggghty then.... Well, It's been a bit hectic but some progress has been slllloooooowwwwllly made..
I got the foam cut but I haven't purchased the foam spray hardener yet, so... I decided to flip the door and begin the out facing side of the door. This side will face the outer hallway. It is to be the first thing my clients will see before entering my booth..
So, I decided to make my door an HIC.
Let's begin! I contacted
KingJawa and got the cast from him.. Thanks again
KingJawa! I also read his "helpful hints" page
http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=208228&highlight=kingjawa . I will be adding a biometric thumb reading lock mechanism for the icing on top. But here are some of the photos I've taken throughout the process. I've read many other threads from several respected RPFer's (sounds funny doesn't it?)
I'm gonna cut that foam right out of your rear..
Screwing with Han's head
This is so screwed up.
Han suffering from stigmata..
The silicone begins!
I'm sorry Mr. Solo sir...
That moment you realize that you should have bought that second tube of silicone... DOH!
Spring forward after area has been sealed. On to the CARBONITE!!! (or wood glue, whichever you prefer)
After reading many a threads, I learned that patience is the key at this point. Layering is slow building but the finale is awesome. So just chill when doing this part.
I swear, the first night I did this I put a very thin layer on and I didn't expect it to dry clear. When I came downstairs to look at it, most of the glue had dried clear and for just a split second or 2 or 3, I actually considered that it evaporated??!!?! LOL Then I came to my senses and squatted down to let the light hit it right and that is when I saw the beginning of my HIC!
These photos are from the second layering and afterwards..
I had to leave the area where the door lock will be going alone. So, it looks weird.
MEANWHILE! back at the studio
I have done another test fitting and had to modify a few things but it should be permanent soon..
My Light switch cover!
without the cover panel!
I'll need to take one of those soon..LOL..
Now, on to the bench. This has become a bit more that anticipated. I have a few updated photos but haven't really been working on it as much. I need to finalize the light switch cover and the door, both sides!
Here is a bit of a progress shot..
It's taking shape!
back shelf is now in view.
Well, that's all for now.. got a lot more coming soon.. Wait until you see this ridiculous lock for the door!! HA!
