Another little arrival today

Likey. Is it glass? What diameter? Does it fall over? And Where from?

Nosey b'stard ain't I?

Yes it's glass, it won't fall over, the base is quite heavy for its size. It's about 3" diametre. It's from ebay and cheap, I'll find the link

Few more bits arrived today, almost ready



How you getting on smarties, made a start yet ?

A great way to get into the comfort zone with soldering is to get any old pcb and practice removing and adding back the components in the board. with an old busted board you can cock up all you want without any risk to the new expensive kit

[smarties]

Yep I've been having a play Greg I must admit you and me have chosen some very similar bits and bobs for the build.

I've fitted the 510 and one of those 12mm switches and drilled and countersunk for the up/down button on the bottom of the mod, the hardest part so far was the hole for the screen, it's not bad but it's not perfect by any means but considering the most hi-tec piece of kit I have is a battery drill it's ok.
Been getting some soldering practise and have realised I should have invested in a solder station like yours.
It's going to be a tight fit in the box I chose but it'll be worth it.

Any progress pics to share ?

You guys have me all inspired.
Ive just ordered some more bits for another project clone box.

[letsavit]

Watching your builds guys, good luck...

I'm not inspired, still haven't got time/can't be arsed to do mine....

[smarties]

I've got a few Greg though work has come to a stop cos we've had daughter and grandson staying this week, I've actually got a bit further than this but here you go.

[smarties]

I've learn't some things already like the fat daddy v4 would be better for this build as the top and bottom are thicker than the sides and some aluminium is pretty damn hard!!
Dinky little box though, been experimenting with brushing it, took the technical approach and used a green pan scrubber lol.

If I get chance I'll post some more as I take them trouble is we go to Tenerife on saturday so the build might go on hold again for a bit, you should have yours finished by the time I get back.

[smarties]

Here's a couple more recent ones Greg





Got the images the wrong way as usual but you get the idea

[phtumshk]

Nice work smarties.
Yours already looks better than owt Ive ever made, well done indeed.(hats off smiley)

[VapingBad]

Looking very good smarties

[smarties]

Thanks phtumshk it's not working yet though, can't wait to try to get the chip in there, already planning my next one I quite fancy the dna25 temp control chip.
