Making my own D8 bodies.. (SICK OF PAYING DA MAN)

[Bankrupter]

OK got it in... failure! I need wider poly to form it. Just too tight to the frame to make it work.

So till order 2 gets here...

Hey Justin you think a 24x24 sheet of poly will be ok for a XL body?? and 0.04" thick ?

Justin- you don't like a dead thread but you are letting this one slowly die off into the mist. Did you ever get your second shipment or what? When looking at your double drilling my first thought was hey this guy could have used a counter sink bit instead of doing all the extra work. i am intrested to see how this turned out for you, becuase now you have got my gears turning on how to do an idea that i have.

i could use a couple of these bodies now that i got a d8.

great idea with the cold water. in hind site, to support the body, you might be able to use some sand. put sand in a cardboard box and wiggle the body into the sand. It will conform to the body well & support well.

pretty kool project.

sweet idea there frddy....

yep worked out good.. WAY too many holes to drill by hand though, then bevel out.

BOX :nutshot: ME

sweet idea . gotta build one ... shoulda used the peg board layed it on top the ply wood as a hole template then just hut each hole with a countersink bit .. drills holes n bevels all in one step ... i know its to late now .. but great idea ..

 

[maximusraylius]

I know it's too late for this info but it might be helpful for someone else, you can buy a countersink attachment to go on a drill bit to do both at the same time...Just FYI...

damn i shoulda read down further lol...
