ok Update time
The Hinge part for the upper half of the case. I cut the notch out with a dremel and drilled 1/4" holes at each end for the friction hinge to fit in and to allow the wires to pass to the lower case.
Looks pretty good so far.
Sanded the cover down and drilled the speaker holes with a 1/16" bit. I used the original case as a template.
Yep looks like a DS.
Gluing the hinge part to the cover. Tapped the cover to the other half to keep it still while the glue sets.
All dry. I added a thin piece of wood to the bottom part of the screen opening. I thought it looked weird without it.
Side by Side
Now to counter sink some holes so that the two parts can become the upper half of the case.
I want to try to find some Stainless Steel wood screws. Size is #2 1/4". ACE only had them in brass.
The tube for one side of the hinge will be made out of an aluminum tube. But its I.D. is to small so I enlarged it with a bit on the drill press.
Right size now.
I decided to use epoxy to attach the tube to the case. I also spread the epoxy on the inside of the joint so that the case just fall apart due to the stress that the friction hinge will cause when the DS is opened.
Thats it for now.
