Hello guys,

I had the plan to finish the case last Saturday but something came in between.
The week before it where problems with the server at work so i couldn't access my program anymore.

But this weekend it was something smaller than a computer server.

It was about 47CM and 3015 Grams.
It was Kate.

Kate Sophia.

Last friday our first baby was born:



Everything went well, my girlfriend her waters broke first and she didn't got any contractions within 24H so we had to go to the hospital and once we got there everything went quite fast. By the time she got really heavy contractions it took about 10 minutes to deliver the baby.

And both girls are doing perfectly fine.

I couldn't be more proud of both of my girls for doing such a great job!

That beats the hell of out a chip amp.  I hope your daughter has a lifetime of health and happiness and good tunes.

P.S. Kate looks adorable.  With a baby daughter, your lives will never be the same.....in a good way.

Wellllll.....

Finally i've been able to do something again today!





That where all the pictures, perhaps i'll do something again next year.... ::)




































O.k. i'm just kidding, won't happen again... ;D Here are the other pictures:

Placed aluminum jaws on the vice and milled them in position. Now i'm 1000% sure everything is perfectly aligned and flat.
Also, i'm sure now that i won't get damaged

Face milled it to the right thickness:







After facing i made the fillet and then i can mill the ribs (is what i was thinkgin at this point)



When i started this morning i was still convinced that the ribs would really add something, design wise.
But after i faced it and put the fillet there, i realized that this is how it should be. :angel:
I'm glad i changed my mind at the right time.



I really like this minimalistic look:



Just to double check if it's really o.k. like this, put back the old front: Yes, it's really good like this





Come home with me, baby...











































Very, very happy with the results and sooo proud of it. It's been a joy (and pita every now and then) to build  ;D

Also, the electronics will get an upgrade :-)

Well, that seemed o.k. let's get serious:






Go Go!






Getting the electronics in place:





Final result:


























In good company:
