Ok its sunday so bit of a rest day, was up all night and we lost an hour due to the clocks going forward, so after watching the 6am Australian F1 i needed some sleep, so didnt get time to work on my box today after all..
I've ordered some more bits and bobs to get things looking a bit "nicer", still havent decided on the finish of the box, but i'm going for glossy white, so it doesnt look wood/mdf, if i can get a nice sanded shine on it it might look like sturdy plastic.. We'll see...
Anyhoo, i wanted one of these "exakt saws", they cut to a set depth and you can set the blade exposure which means you could stick it against the wall and cut out a box if you wanted, or cut a plank on the floor with nothing underneith, it just seems worth it for the fact you dont need a workbench or a jigsaw protruding through the wood, and the cuts are of such a quality the back end of the wood has no splintering and you can cut plastic and tiles without any cracking... Well i cant afford one at the mo, but its def going on the shopping list for later..
For now, we'll stick to the old faithful mitre saw, i've found a nice cheap adjustable one that should help the "edging of my box", and allow me to slope the controller a bit.. Rather than just a flat square, i can give it a bit of "flavour", and "think outside of the box"... *cough*
So this is the saw i've ordered, i'll start cutting up the MDF tomorrow as long as its not pissing with rain....
TTFN!!
