There were some variants how inside better to attach a plate

1 to Solder aluminium

But

Planes do of duralumin but them do not solder them rivet rivets

2 Argonovaja welding

3 On rivets to me not позалось that it will be beautiful

4 Tried воспользоватса (Cold welding) it was not pleasant me a two-componental thing has not seemed to the reliable

5 Has stopped on Glue EDP (Epoksidnoj to Pitch)

IMG_0907.jpg


And this soldering iron a tomahawk))) looks as an axe

IMG_0909.jpg


Cut out a new piece of duralumin for the case

IMG_0914.jpg


Here points

Good brush for paint removal on cars with plastic setae

IMG_0915.jpg


Tried to polish has looked as the unsuccessful idea will look in due course polishing will grow dull better to paint and varnish it will be better to look

IMG_0917.jpg


Here I handsome and on a back background partially smoothed out middle of the case

IMG_0921.jpg


Tried to take advantage cold steel

It looks here and goes in one tube of type of sausage

09.jpg


The result of work approximately here looks and there is no reliability of such connection does not stick and nearby is fastened epoxy

IMG_0931.jpg


IMG_0932.jpg


Painting tape for when awake to fill in epoxy what it has not escaped anywhere

IMG_0922.jpg


IMG_0924.jpg


Just in case I glue atop Scotch tape on a tape

IMG_0926.jpg


Here is how выгядет which I use fiber glass fabric

It is cut by usual scissors.

ATTENTION when cut fiber glass fabric that do it not indoors when slices get to an organism they do not decay.

IMG_0927.jpg


IMG_0930.jpg


Pictures at me has not remained as I glued epoxy plates in the case

In brief history

Take a film (I took that which sandwiches turn more precisely that which on flights the goods braid)

From lateral aspect on bored through half of holes

IMG_1271.jpg


IMG_1272.jpg


IMG_1273.jpg


We look where it is necessary to drill holes for rivets

IMG_1274.jpg


IMG_1276.jpg


IMG_1277.jpg


We look as the case looks with computer payments

IMG_1278.jpg


IMG_1280.jpg


IMG_1281.jpg


I recommend here such mill to buy it it is very convenient

ATTENTION work wearing spectacles and on small turns 5000 differently the mill will break away bought approximately for 8-10$

Has planned a pencil of a hole in the case has drilled a drill and then already by this mill did the necessary size for rivets

IMG_1282.jpg


IMG_1283.jpg


File has levelled edges

IMG_1284.jpg

IMG_1287.jpg


Here is how rivets of 4 mm look

IMG_1289.jpg


IMG_1291.jpg


IMG_1293.jpg


IMG_1290.jpg


Here such sandpaper has levelled a rivet surface looks very exactly

IMG_1294.jpg


Accessories on the forward panel

IMG_1295.jpg


Today 21-jan-2010

The rest I will lay out when I will make

//today 09-apr-2010 and yesterday has found time to continue with the case

IMG_1377.jpg


Has left on holes of hours 10 where that

IMG_1378.jpg


Rivets have strongly helped thrust in a hole and at the good equal line one in parallel another by means of a ruler turns out

(By the way see break top a funnel in one of holes it when ream after small diameter on big here such can will turn out so I recommend holes ream the big drill from the inside)

IMG_1381.jpg


It is not so successful variant was

IMG_1383.jpg


punch has filled labels crookedly that as fun fun))) has turned out)))

IMG_1385.jpg


Here and I speak that has crookedly turned out

IMG_1394.jpg


But lines equal have turned out

IMG_1397.jpg


Variant of 2 rivets have strongly helped

IMG_1399.jpg


Here they

IMG_1400.jpg


Well that's where it so

IMG_1401.jpg


For this сеточку a marker has spent hour one and a half precisely neck tonight is ill for 2-va day of work

IMG_1402.jpg


It a drill has vertically tried

IMG_1403.jpg


It at an angle

IMG_1404.jpg


It I in sea fight play a dagger)))

When filled all merges on these lines of pieces 5 by has knocked

And here it is visible as at an angle a drill has planned it has not bad turned out

IMG_1406.jpg


Here a drill

IMG_1408.jpg


Aha the interesting moment

At me a grip in a clip normally diameter holds those a drill is strong clamped and in the end a grip more in diameter and the drill starts to vibrate what it did not occur and in a grip strong all kept I reeled up a foil

It is necessary to buy on diameter that the drill and a grip coincided

But there where I bought from them there is no such grip it was necessary to subtilize

IMG_1412.jpg


On drilled small holes and then from the inside expanded a hole in the big diameter

IMG_1415.jpg


Shavings the whole scoop has turned out that dust there hardly hardly

IMG_1417.jpg


Here the highlight of the program)))

IMG_1421.jpg


Well where that so here all has had time to make today

IMG_1422.jpg


Here with has missed a chance so it is corners it was necessary to do roundish and and an aluminium piece to leave

I have already thought up as to solve in this question I a figured piece of plastic I will cut out on perimetre and from above I will impose and on perpendicular to it in depth too

Appearance of the case is lost if to put LCD + card reader

I abandon to the idea to leave the button power on the place

And to put 2 usb + 1 fireware

Instead of ear-phones to put the second USB
