The only drawback is that the black really shows off our poor bending job. I decided on black since most of the stuff I have for my little computer rack is that color already. Painting the boxīefore going any further it is time to paint the box before all the work that went into removing the loose rust goes to waste. Finally, with the box bent to its intended shape, two pop rivets were put in place at each seam on the corners.
The short sides were done with a piece of 3/4" MDF cut to width and clamped with a piece of angle on the outside and bent the same way. We made our bend by clamping the metal between a pair of angle iron pieces and slowly working it up with a mallet and a ball peen hammer. I admit that the quality of the bends made from a break are far superior to what we done. Unfortunately I don't have one so I had to improvise. Bending and riveting the boxįor sheet metal you really need a brake. In the images to the left you will see Zachary using the air sander to remove the loose rust, and in the next you see the sheet metal prepared and ready to be bent. The piece of metal that I had has been sitting around my shop since I built the gas fired crucible furnace and had a fair amount of surface rust. Next we laid out a box on the sheet metal that would fit the width and go as deep as the piece of sheet metal would allow. The first thing my son Zachary and I done was to install the rails into the rack and get a measurement between them. I did however have a pair of old slides I salvaged from an old computer and a piece of heavy sheet metal laying around, So I thought I would just make one. I had a convenient slide out shelf for the computer, but I wasn't quite so lucky about the compartment for the electronics. In the last chapter I built a small computer rack into the KRMx01 stand to house the computer and electronics. However, I have just a little bit more to do to get them installed. Getting the electronics installed just lets you know that you are getting close to a moving runnable machine.
