Circuit Board Scales

[Steve V.]

Those are really good looking.

I know. I'd never even heard of that idea. He really did a great job.

Gee, thank you very much Steve and Mr. Lawson! I ended up putting a J. Rodgers & Sons in that last set.

those are wild, what about using an ATI (are they still red?) to complete the set one day?

You know, I actually checked an ATI DVI card, but the components\layout weren't that great.

Hmm... I revisited this and after removing the heat sink/compound, a quite more promising beast was revealed!

By George, I believe you might be on to something!

 

[mr_houston]

Really cool! Very cleaver.

That epoxy treatment could open up a lot of possibilities.

For those of us that have only used epoxy for gluing, could you take a few pics of the process.

That is one stylin' mask you snuck in that pic!

 

[Waistgunner]

Sorry, I just can't see the logic in it - Get it?

 

[Toro Blanco]

Wow! That red is going to be bad a**! Great idea!

Groan!

 

[CongaJon]

But wait... there's more!

 

[Hydguy]

Very cool....

I know it's been done a lot, but thought you folks might still like to see it. While repairing a Chromebook, the bad motherboard really jumped out at me. I thought it would be impossible to work with, but a scroll saw and belt sander made surprisingly light work of it. (With breathing protection, of course.) Two coats of epoxy finished it off. The show side center is the CPU, with memory on the back.

I'm still trying to master the details of this. The pivot pin is a little below center, but not as noticeable as the pics make it. The brass wedge doesn't taper perfectly, but overall I'm happy enough to try it again!

Nice! Well done. Unique!

You have made great work so don't be so strict with you. I have never seen anyone do the same thing as you have done. It looks amazing I would also like sometimes to be able to make it look like a real pcb chip. I am training almost every day and for this, I mustn't only master my picture skills, but also to practice my diy skills and become more experienced. Soon I hope to become able enough to do such cool things and show them to other people.

Finally someone developed a straight razor that is possible to reset!
And it looks good to.

 

[BradWorld]

This is the absolute coolest thing I’ve seen all day. Awesome work. I’d buy one!

I'm eager to get it honed up, because I've never used a Friodur, a stainless or for that matter a Henckels! A few with more pleasant lighting...

Outstanding CongaJon. Did you apply the epoxy with a brush or pour it on?

 

[Old School TSD]

Hope you wiped the memory chips first...wouldn't want that to fall into the wrong hands lol

Thanks! Not sure how I missed your question... They were poured, 2 coats.
