Wait…you have a floor???
My boards have never been built in just one place…I’ll bring little mini projects into the living room or where ever else!

Same here 
The only thing I do on the table is soldering and my batteries.

You have space!? I actually have a chair and when im sitting on it i can lay the board on the armrests to inspect everything 
I definetly sometimes never solder like that because its dangerous

On a bit of a whim, started making a buck for a Hummie DS enclosure this weekend. Bought a bunch of new clamps, so much easier.
Kerf cut a couple layers of 18mm MDF, clamped and glued for some shape.
Next step is bog the kerf cut holes and then hit it with the belt sander and planer for chamfer on the edges.
It’s looking pretty rough at the moment.

Wee bit of progress. Bogged the holes and then chamfered the edges with my new belt sander (tools budget ) and then rebogged some bits where I got too agressive on it - noob. Corners rounded a bit. Needs more work. More filler and sand and repeat.
Made a new sanding tool which is good for this though. Cut a 40 grit belt from the belt sander and glued it flat to a 80mm wide x 450mm long MDF board. A super rough sanding plank. Good for flattening the edges that I fucked up with the belt sander

Haha. Yeah it was really about an hour playing with the new belt sander and some bog and then about the same trying to fix my fuck up after work today

Slow progress.
Rounded corners and edges and fixed the belt sander fuck ups, but not happy with shape so gonna chamfer the corners a bit.

Hmmm. So buck is rough shaped but looks too short. Not too happy with it. Based length on the recess length but really should be longer to look right on the deck. I’m gonna change plan bit and make way more work for myself and make it as a segmented flex enclosure and chop the buck into sections so gaps between each section give it a bit more length.

yeah I know.
I was like maybe just make it like this, it’ll be fiiiinee.
But I can’t deal with it. I’ve filled all of the kerf cuts in the underside so it doesn’t fall to bits and tomorrow I’m gonna take the handsaw to it!

I am 10 times more excited about this project now.
My biggest advice would be to make absolute certain what size you want your segments. I fucked up one of the evolve revisions by making segments the wrong size
Marked it for heaps of cuts, but think I might try and just do three segments. Minimise the extra work. Will see how it goes

Hmm. Yeah I have marked them for 80mm. Cut will be a couple mm and then draft a little bit and it might be close… prolly 18650 cells so think it’ll be ok

Also might add some length to each segment to fix my planning fuck up. Maybe a layer 9’mm mdf to end of each segment will ease any worries
