My first lighting project

[garwain]

I have been having some fun with christmas money, and my new rotary tool. I have one machine that is used mostly for musical purposes (recording, editing, transcribing, etc) and I thought since this case travels a good bit, and is seen by many people, I'd touch it up a little bit.

I'm not quite finished yet, but I'm looking for feedback before I go any further with it.

What I'm thinking about doing is widening the cuts a bit to let more light through, and doing some more work with the grinder bit to have the music note designs stand out clearer when case is not lit. I haven't decided yet if I want to paint it, and if so what color.

Let me know what you thing, and what you would do with the system before calling it done.

looks great man.
Well done.
This is your first window mod?

I've put in windows before, but never anything fancy. That was the first time I tried a design.

The biggest mistake I made was not finding some scrap metal to try with first. Half way through I changed my approach when I got to the bottom of one of the notes and realized that short cuts look better than the longer ones.

I have another design I want to try on another case (as soon as I get one) but I'm going to try a different approach, and use a drill bit. I'm curious to see how that turn out.

you live and you learn, and since its nothing that affected your design dramatically, smile

Well done.

Nice job! Looks great for a first (I still haven't done my first). Congrats, and show it off! =)

wicked cool man. very nice job on the cutting.

rotaries can take a while to master, but you seem to be off to a hell of a start.

keep up the good work.
