bmc Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 This is my first attempt at fabricating anything. After some epoxy, bondo, and a ton of sanding, this is where I am. I'll need some more touch ups but I'm done for today. I spent a lot of hours on this thing already, I hope it comes out decent in the end. I'm using the lilliput EBY-701. Main reason for going this route was the price. I want to keep this project cheap. For a computer I'll be using my spare IBM T23 laptop for now.
