How the hell has this been here so long and I've only seen it now?! Must work on my forum

perusing skills. :D

Very awesome work, loving the window on the top and the paint work.

Practical question, if I may be so forward: How does one go about modding without sight,

especially the cutting work?

i have about 15% sight in one eye so i can see a little but i walk with help of my white cane or a person to help me . But to answer you question i feel with my hands and it has taken me a long time to learn how things feel and how hard to push on something,  its amazing how you body will adapt to the loss of one of you scenes . so its all about the feel of what you working on i always try on a spare peace before i do anything . 

 

thanks you all for you help and support in doing this build you have made me feel more confident in doing things to it you have always been positive and only ever criticize in a positive way thanks again

Can you talk a bit more about the process of modding the top window(how did you cut it, etc.) because I'm thinking about expand my side window on my Haf x

hi i mask on top an the underside of the top ( one thing to look at is if you are going to put perspex on the side you need to put the side on the case and pull it back to see how much you can cut ,you need to make sure you leave the space for the side to lock in to the mean body of the case) as i did not do this i had to mode the locking hocks a little to give me the little extra 

 

 

Bits you will need are:

A dremel

Dremel cutting blades ( metal one Code SC476 are the ones i used )

a smale hacksaw

may be a jigsaw

a small round coin for the corners 

 

then you just mark where you want to cut and cut it with a steady hand .small bit of advice if you tilt the dremel up it will cut a radius cut but plz practice before you do it .

 

It takes time and a steady hand to cut so plz take your time . im no expert but just give it a try its not hard like i said just take your time 

 

hope this helps
