PRYMER13's PVC EE-3

The one that I have now is 1/4" resawed PVC, it's chromed, and not very sturdy at all. Still waiting on the aluminum....
 
Sorry for the lack of updates...but...
in the next two weeks I'll have the stock bracket 1/4" (solid aluminum), stained the stock, added the V-8 connector rods, the molex connectors, The front pulley's and the sling mounts. I'll get pics up as soon as the stuff is assembled
 
for the stock I'd suggest Austrian Timber Oil, when done it will look like a finely polished peice of furniture (we use it on decks at work) also I was wondering if you might provide a list of tools used, I keep thinking about making one the same way you did because I can swipe all the scraps from work but then don't want to start because of my lack of tools.

Honestly bro, being a carpenter, I have just made due with what I have...most of the tools are relatively basic ones:

-dremel
-utility knive
-chisel set
-Plasti-Cut file (the best made, hands down)
-set of three fast cut micro files
-sand paper
-mitresaw
-pipe cutter
-BONDO, lots and lots of bondo ;)
 
Yeah I'd say thats pretty cut and dry. Is the 1x6 trimboard also known as Azeks? That's the brand we get stuck with at work and I hate it a lot, it's all flimsy and slippery and sharp...yeah I hate it. Thanks

**UPDATE**

It's been a while, but here you go:
I added some scratch-built pulley's, my connecting rods, 4 molex connectors (THANKS LAAN!!), and a GREAT 1/4" solid aluminum stock bracket from HANKEY01...

I am modifying my stock and contemplating scratch-building some split plugs just so I can finish this thing.

Once I get the assembly mounted on the other side, then I'll coat everything again with several light coats of flat black...then the weathering...and I am DONE...well, after the stock greeblies are made.

:cheers Bro, I have been waiting for an update on this for a while. You are doing an amazing job. Your attention to detail is outstanding. Keep it up!!!
 
That is looking great!! Were the pully drawings any use?

I have done a set of drawings for the split plugs in which I have broken it down in to 5 layers each 1/16th of an inch thick. Just cut out each layer and stack them up to create a copmplete plug. Let me know if you would like a copy.

THEY HELPED TREMENDOUSLY! You really helped me out... I had no reference at all for them, except your drawings. I'd love to get my hands on the cad drawings for the split plugs! I have a great CNC guy here that I can send the programs to...please keep me in the loop Alan. And thanks again for all of your input.
 
Sorry for the lack of posts...
I am going to stain the stock jacobean tonight and hit it with a clear coat.

I'll have pics up late tonight with everything BUT the stock greeblies.
 
Well, as LAAN knows I had to go pick up my brother last night so my update has been delayed.

Below you will see my almost finished PVC EE-3.
All I need are the stock greeblies and to finish my flashtube.

Alan was gracious enough to send me the CAD files last night so in the next three nights I'll construct, prime and install them. The Flash tube was cut last night and tonight I'll be adding the necessary slits, holes, etc.
