Awesome! Can't wait to see it.

Very excited about this. Feels like I've been waiting for this part for a life time.

But admittedly it has been awesome watching it evolve from a block of copper and delrin

Chipset blocks finished, can't figure out how to link the pic from my phone.

Running out of time, may not get them epoxy filled tonight but will
finish off the VRM blocks.
Took some vid footage but phone battery running out. Will add link for
vids during the week ;-)

I will do engraving for any of you guys if ya like, just keep in mind I am in Australia so as long as you are happy to pay for
the shipping and engraving cost ..... no worries *EDIT, lol didn't see you're an Aussie also, no worries, I'm in Melbourne
so shipping to Cairns shouldn't be too bad.
 
VRM blocks engraved:

 
Ran out of time to do the epoxy red infill .... will get that done by mid this week

nateman_doo. Sneaky. 
 
I LOVE YOU guys!
 
Your work is fantastic, amazing ..... I can not find the words
 
I don't know how much is that, buy my dream would be to buy the next Chipset block and VRM block by nateman_doo; and than 
will do engraving by Sneaky!
 
The only problem is that I'm in Italy.
 
So I have to calculate the various costs of products and shipping! 
The first step will be the availability of water blocks from nateman_doo, I will see after.

Just get the EK clean CSQ Memory Blocks, they are all black
with just the round silver EK badge in the corner.
They will match Nates blocks ;-)

It is a two part Marine Epoxy Resin, you mix inks with it to get whatever
colour you want. It cures as smooth as glass so gives a much smoother
glossier finish than regular paints, acrylic, enamel etc.

Vid of Chipset block engraving, sorry about the quality, recorded on my phone while controlling the engraver.
First run on the clear acrylic is to check alignment.
Also youtube is messed up, vid on my PC is perfect but when uploading, you tube duplicates it with the
second run having no sound . Vid is only 7mins long so disregard the last 7 minutes ... stupid youtube!

 
Just been swamped with work so Epoxy filling will have to wait, If I can find time Wednesday evening I will do it then
but i do have patterns for work I need to cut for a job on Thursday, Worst case scenario Filling may need to be done on Saturday/Sunday,
I will keep you posted Acesi7

The first video was plastic over the block.  Was that your "insurance policy" first?  To see if the position was good?  heh, smart ;)

Nice one Sneaky. Was good to watch the video.
 
Just looking at the pictures above, it looks like there are some scratches on one of the Chipset blocks. In the middle of the large E on the right hand block. Is that just hair on the block?
 
These look amazing mate, can't wait to get a hold of them.
