Well, it's been almost 2 months since my last update and lots of things have/are happening. First, I
accepted a new position which is requiring me to relocate. This means I have to sell my current house, buy a new
house and commute 70 miles one way each day until the process is complete. Not that bad, but hectic. The good
news is, I really like the new position and can't wait to get the relocation over with.
Despite what might be presented on the site, I have ACTUALLY been welding on Roll Cage. I am taking my
time because of two things. First, I want the case to be as perfect as I can make it. Second, I have a rather
crude environment in which to weld. Because of the relocation, I am relegated to the garage floor for all my
work which makes the process a bit more tedious. One interesting thing has come from this. I have decided that
once I get moved, I am going to teach myself how to TIG weld. I figure, I know how to do Oxy-Acetylene, ARC, and MIG,
why not TIG. But that will be for a future project.
So, with respect to posting pictures of the case under construction, I have decided not to post the first
batch until I get the external 1.5" tubing all tacked together. I have completed both the left and right sides and
will be working on the cross bars this week. If all goes well, I will have images up soon.
I have recently created renders of Roll Cage v2. Nothing has really changed other than sponsor representation.
Due to my desires for the case, I have decided to reduce ZBoard representation. This has nothing to do with
their product, rather it has to do with what I want for the project. The main change has been to the left side
of the case, with the removal of the large Z logo. If you want to see the new renders, please stop by the Roll Cage
project page.
