Thanks!  Still have a little bit of fine tuning for the top part though.  The outside shells are mirror, but the holes are offset about 1/100th of an inch to the bottom left.  Kinda weird but I am working on it.

Nate, And people were asking me why I was waiting! Awesome dude! This is truly art work and I wil be very proud to have this in my rig..

nice work nate
 

Patiently waiting!

Hard to say.  Taking the day to tram my machine.  Had a few crashes when trying to machine an unknown metal. 

 
Nate,
   Thanks for burning the midnight oil. I have been working on the Z68 board build, and I just wanted to tell you if they use 550 or 560 in the second red the height we were worried about shouldn't be an issue. The boards are exactly the same except the sticker that covers P67 FTW with the words Z68 FTW.
  I have asked for some help on ides for card arrangement but no joy for my PhysX and sound card but I am glad we are putting water on the N200 chip because it will be getting a lot of work.
   By the way in case I didn't mention it the other day The Vreg Blocks really look like factory designed. You are awesome dude.

Thank you all for the kind words.
 
unfortunately my current machine is having problems where a complete tear-down was necessary.  The prior repairs to it still will keep the down time to a minimum, but I have to re-engineer the upright column (Z axis column).
 
On the bright side since I was already planning on fixing this machine up, I already have some parts made for it. I was hoping to enlist the help of the uber machine I was building, but since that one is not done yet,   I have to do this all by hand (again!)
 
Rest assured, I built this machine by hand the first time, so I can do it again.  It will be the sole focus of my efforts this week (much to the dismay of my family)
 
I guess I can post pictures of the machine repairs in the meantime?

Nate,
  I thought I would check up on your progress with the blocks and to see if you were holding down the fort. The Z68 FTW board has been a bear But i am getting closer to the finish line. I know I will have  to tear it down to install the the blocks when they are done but it will be worth it.

can't wait for more on this!

MAKE A REPLACEMENT!
 
hehehe <3 hope you get better soon mate :)

While my column is being "trued up" I will finish the enclosure that it sits in.

ooooh pretty

I just finished pouring the concrete "basin"for the old machine. When it cures tonight, Im going to coat the concrete in resin so its waterproof. Then comes reassembly. Win.

Nice Nate, what did everything set ya back for, "cost"? If I can ask?
 
Looking into building a woodshop(small) on my Mom and Dad's place, Im looking at 5-6K  to build a 20foot X 30foot building... And for anyone that dosent believe that it cant be done for 6K or under, I have a question for you. "You dont change ur own car oil do u?" And prob eat fastfood daily or pay 20bucks for a burger and frys.......
 
shane c.

Ive got some pretty good ideas for adding some depth to my woodwork, thats hardwoods too.  Adding art work, and then wood carving and woodburning the line art with some shading. Example, do like sports, gamer, or Knights & Dragons themes art work on coffee table, end table, custom desk,  dinningroom table, kitchen cabinets, entertainment cabinets and the same for HTPC( I can ship these) wood cases, and full tower case local,  add that same artwork/woodburning. And maybe even do XBox cases.
 
So to ramble on your post Nate, but I think its awesome u working for urself and the wife backing u up. Like this woodshop for myself, I can build on a foundation, not contrete, and wont bother my back and can take breakes when I need too. Kitchen work dosent pay and that concete floor hurts like heck......
 
We get pics of the new layout, when ur finnished?
