@ panther

Sucks tht you hav to put your project on hold again man

. The cable management is pretty harass already though

pantherx12 · Oct 8, 2009

Indeed, its actually entered into a contest as well so an even bigger pain. less time to make it all shiny and such.

only costs 5 pound for a compatible holder but its a 5 pound I don't have at the moment D:

Chicken Patty · Oct 8, 2009

And 5 that I don't have is 15. Wait, I don't even have five dollars :eek:

pantherx12 · Oct 8, 2009

I'm started to regret spontaneously buying Xazax's rig ha ha

Im wishing i had my dremel so i could lap this cpu block =(

pantherx12 · Oct 8, 2009

You use a dremel to lap?

PP Mguire · Oct 8, 2009

Yes it has many different kind of sanding wheels.

You serious?!? :eek:

Do it by hand mate. I don't see how you would get a really flat finish with a dremel. Like cutting your hair with a weedeater.

pantherx12 · Oct 8, 2009

That's what I was thinking ha ha.

Also high RPM + something like a sneeze D:

Exactly!

Velvet Wafer · Oct 8, 2009

you can use the dremel.
with toothpaste and a felt head

gets very shiny, only the last finish

pantherx12 · Oct 8, 2009

Tooth paste is epic for polish, I used to use it on my fresh piercings, killed the germs and made things super shiny!

hurt a bit though.

Oh... You don't have to tell me - I've used it to polish the floor when I was in the army... :wtf:

Ha ha ha.

Seriously.

PP Mguire · Oct 8, 2009

Im extremely efficient when it comes to the dremel. I have one of these
http://www.dremelstore.us/drem225flex.html

Which makes any kind of sanding a breeze.

erocker · Oct 8, 2009

If you are looking for a mirror finish, lap as you normally would with 800-2000 grit wet-sandpaper on a flat surface and finish it off with a small drop of Brasso and buff it in with toilet paper. I wouldn't use anything that doesn't evenly sand the entire surface at once.

PP Mguire · Oct 8, 2009

Now would that be Quilted Northern or Charmen Ultra?? :roll:

pantherx12 · Oct 8, 2009

Guys, its all about kitchen roll TBH, greater strength and absorbency!

Absolutley! My Japanese wet stones for my chisels are fantastic for the job. It's vital to keep the bottom of the HS in constant contact with the stone or paper to ensure a totally flat surface. I wouldn't sharpen my $300 chisels with a hand grinder, same principle, even if you are steady enough to pluck a piece of dust out of a gnat's eye with a clothes pin.

In this economy. Scott. It's almost feels like you are lapping your ass when using it.

LOL new siggy.

Mothers Billet Polish is a ton better than brasso though (gets the bottom aluminum floor on the V shinier.

Yeah, Brasso shouldn't be used on aluminum at all as it makes for a strange chemical combination. So this billet polish is good on copper and aluminum? Heh, I have a bottle of it here at the shop!

Ahh man, I bet the floor smelt fresh though!

erocker · Oct 8, 2009

It gets crazier!! I'm listening to a national radio show right now and the guy is talking about using the "Scott" type TP over the ultra-soft stuff because it's better for the environment. The softer stuff is made from older trees and is more expensive. He also says he's sticking to his soft butt-wipe. Super coincidence! :eek:
