Woohoo! My adapters arrived Barry. Now all I gotta do is get the piece of aluminum out of my eyeball that got there from me chamfering the edges and smoothing it out a tad before painting. Owie!

Hope it rains this weekend so I can spend time getting them in. Twisted Evil

Screw the yardwork!

Norm would say "make it out of wood"
He can't do anything without an expensive machine and the absolute best looking wood.

I know. He just rubs me the wrong way. not quite as bad as Bob Villa though.
I like Dean Johnson from "Home Time" as long as that Joanne Leibler is not with him.

Mostly because he has the ULTIMATE in everything. No-body has a lot of the stuff he uses. Its an unrealistic show for the everage guy with a home shop. Other than that I think he as a great craftsman.

Yeah I DID have eye protection on...I dutifully wore the goggles even though I was using a plethora of different hand files. No power tools for me!
It was when I took the shirt off I was wearing that I got the metal chip in my eye. DOH! I need to find a full body condom next time because any time I do anything around the house I end up getting....wait for it....

f*ck***! Rolling Eyes

I got them all painted and baked in the oven today...man do they look sweet. It's a shame they're going to be buried inside the pj but it'll look nice when it's opened up. One of my future projects is to redesign the card cages to prevent them from dropping down from heating and cooling. Twice now I've had to reseat the focus board with the thing ceiling mounted.
A friend of mine does anodizing and said he'd red anodize all the metal RF covers inside for me. Again, kind of a waste, expecially unless it's opened up but I'm thinking if it gets nice and tricky looking inside I might just mold a clear plexigalss top panel to show it off. I can't afford high end audio and video but until I can, it'll be fun tricking it out under the hood on the cheap.

See you CAN take your shirt off and keep your eyes protected!

Take some pictures Greg.
what kind of paint did you use?

I'm also wondering why you felt the need to file them. You should Not file the inside round edges nearest the Lens body because the close fit serves to block light escaping toward the screen. I designed it that way Smile
