    Honestly Origin is good but not as good as steam. Uplay should be killed with fire.

    banttu reacted to Slater in Best Video Player?   
    For me personally i use Media Player Classic Home Cinema because it feels more lightweight to me compared to VLC. However i do have VLC as backup in case MPC-HC can't play something which rarely if ever happens. All i know is that VLC practically plays anything you throw at it, but for my personal preference as i've stated before i use MPC from the K-lite codec pack :)

    Isn't it more likely that this is simply a response to the GeForce 770? AMD wants to maintain their status of price-performance leadership.

    Since being a goldsmith has not so much to do with making a computer, I have been busy making a piece of jewellery I could wear at the computex ;) . A silver keyboard ring with my initials on it. If you would like to see how I work as a goldsmith....again.... just scroll down ;) !

     

    I made a wax ‘Ideal’ keyboard key and casted in brass. Then I made a rubber mould and made more wax keys.

    These keys were casted in silver, so you can mass produce silver keys ;) !

     



     



     

    Here you can see the casts. 

     

    This is what I want to engrave.

     



     

    First finish the keys.

     



     

    My logo.

     



     



     

    I still had 3 tiny diamonds which I will set in the ring.

     



     

    Here you can see different surface techniques.

     



     

    I have enneald the silver so I can bend the material easily

     



     

    Then bend the silver and solder it together.

     



     



     

    To make the ring round you have to hammer it.

    To make the backside of the ring more interesting I have stamped my initials in the silver plate. 

     



     

    First I started with drawing on my logo. I made a ‘light’ engraving with my milling tool (sort of dremel). 

     



     

    To cut away the logo I used a engraving tool.

     



     

    These 2 elements will be the frame of the ring, I will have to solder them together.

     



     



     

    A silver plate that goes across the gap so the keys will stay in place when I lay them on, and solder them.

     



     

    After you solder the silver there are a lot of oxides, so I always use a chemical to clean the material. It makes the silver look snow white.

     



     



     

    Cut away the extra material.

     



     



     

    One of the diamonds, they are so tiny!

     



     



     

    Soldering everything together. 

     



     

    I wanted the letters and my logo to stand out more, so I used a chemical which makes the silver go black. If you sand the material afterwards the lower parts will not be schratched so will stay black.

     



     



     

    Now only finishing and than set the stones.

     



     



     



     



     

    And the final result!!!!

     



     



     

    Hope you like it!

     

    I also made a few goodies with me to Taiwan to hand out to people there. It was a very interesting day ;) !

     



     



     

    The lasercutter.

     



     

    First a few testplates.

     



     



     

    The real stuff ;) !

     



     



     



     

    The lasercut goodies :)

     



     

    Interesting day :D !

     

    I’m very happy with how the build turned out! If I would have had more time and knowledge that I now have, I would have perfected it.

    But I’m already thinking about my next project, so maybe soon there will be a new buildlog ;) !
