Sorry, I spent the last 4 weeks on modding and finishing the project instead of taking lots of photos for the work log. Here are some of the photos together with explanations. I'am a student and working at the same time. I only have few hours a day and few days a week to mod. I cant really spend my time taking photos instead. Maybe on my project, ill share more of my worklog. I wish I have a buddy who can do all the photography for me. lol. Anyway, enjoy the photos. Tools used : Jigsaw, Rotary tool, different sizes of bits, router, metal saw, and etc. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you!
