Anyone do part fabrication?

[Advent]

Well it looks like the 2 people I had been considering to fabricate a PSU shroud for me have fallen by the way side. It would be great if I could find someone in California, but out of state/country is fine too.

I know how to fabricate parts but lack access to a shop and the tools to do so. Before you tell me to look around I've already gone into various places of business and they will not let me use their shop/tools due to liability issues.

 

So I'm kinda SOL here....

If anyone can do it , know someone who could do it, or of another website I should post this on let me know.

My build can be seen here, with some quick and dirty mock ups of potential shroud shapes.

don't you have a sheetmetal or HVAC company nearby? usually they'd be able to

cut, bend and form pretty easy and usually not for monster dollars if it is not a time

sensative job.

 

working with 22-26ga sheetmetal is not hard and usually can be hand-formed.

something that small you should be able to do with either wide jaw pliers

 

 

clamping the metal to a bench and folding the metal.

Not really. At least not that I am aware of.

or one of these in wood with a metal edge.

I have no tools nor a place to use them. I could easily get the tools but where would I use them? I don't have a work bench or a shed or even a backyard to put down a bench to work on.

I don't have any friends that live in the state anymore either or I'd ask them to use their yards. Most of them moved to Colorado.

kitchen table, saw horse, computer desk or driveway. hell i even used stairway

handrails, car bumper, and driveway for an edge to bend a panel by hand and

it was fine.

 

other than that, your fingers are gunna have to do some walking on the yellow pages.

I would recommend doing it with acrylic. Easy material to work with and would be perfect for a PSU cover/shroud

I'd love too but I lack a heatgun, clamps, and a place to do it properly. I don't have a dremel or a saw or any way to cut it etc. I wouldn't be asking for someone to do it or if they know someone or a company who could handle this if I was in a position to do it myself.

I made a custom full side panel window for my c70 out of acrylic without using any of those tools. You can just buy a sheet, use a utility blade or exacto knife to cut it and it will snap along the line when you bend it. I just did it on my desk. I am thinking about making a cover for mine and I'll let you know how it turns out

Let me know how it turns out

I know a few people who found a local blacksmith who could usually do it cheaply at his place of work.
