Hehe...I'm just concerned bout the safety of modders. I knw many r simply too eager 2 mod coz it's vry interesting rite�? But nvr 4get 2 take all necessary safety precautions

Regarding the bit, frm my xprience nvr happened so even drill thick steels. Wht u should do is invest in high-quality brands. Or @ least enrobe it w/ damp cloth after evry few drillings

erm... am i the only on who is having trouble viewing his photos ? all i see is user image posted.. Sry if tis is consider spam..

^
I, too, only see 'user posted image'. I guess the website that hosts those pics are down.

Hopefully it's up soon as I'm also curious to see this case's progress

Disaster

then when i wanted to sand it i realized i put too much putty on , very hard to sand, after one hour i gave up....
so i removed all the putty with a hammer and chisel and we end up here...


i left it alone and went to play




will update again as soon as i get the putty done...thx for reading, and comments are as always welcome, good and bad

Dats exactly why u need the orbital sander. No need lah till wreak the panel like dis. Kasi lingkup

agree with u...just use machine lorr not need to use sand paper anymore..more easier
