Frame Delivered

We took the frame to Orlando and it's in Keith's hands.
I hope it turns out correct and it works out for them.
I did the best I could and there will be some finish work.
It was a interesting task.
I'm going to try and find out if this blog can be put in Keith's
hands so he can continue where I left off.

Flex No More

I made Keith a new A&A center foot caster plate.
The one on the right is the A&A and the one on the left is the aluminum plate.
The A&A kept flexing to much and was just unstable, So here's the new one.

Getting Closer

We worked on the frame some today and started gluing some of the parts together.
I'm running out of time to get the frame complete, So it's full steam ahead.
Some of the parts needed will have to be added later and some will have to be made in a different fashion.
Even though these parts will come at a later date, They will perform just as the original way.
I plan to leave the top plate unglued so finishing touches can be done later.
I also plan to give the frame to Keith on October 16, Next week so he can start fitting it to his droid.

Here a Notch - There a Notch

Boy, I tell you those notches are a pain.
I used my jigsaw to cut them and it was fairly easy, There's just allot of them.
You can see in the side pictures, I need to route the groove for the supports to fit straight.
But it's looking better and better.

Side Supports

Here's a couple of pictures of the side supports in the frame.
I still need to cut the slots into the supports, But you can see the front and the side how they mount.
Not much more and the frame is complete.

Something Standing

I cut the side plates today and I get to see it standing for the first time.
I still have to do some routing to the side plates.
I also noticed these gaps in the area where the sides fit.
I rechecked everything and my measurements are correct, So why are these gaps
here?
I'll have to ask Victor :o)

More Top Plate

I got alittle routing done to the top plate today.
The only routing left is for the Large Data Port area.

I almost made a mistake on the size of the center hole cutout.
You can see the inner pencil mark and that's the one that's wrong.
I should have this area cut soon.
