building a frame out of the kitchen shelf thing is a pain!
« on: January 13, 2005, 08:48:00 PM »
I've done all of my measurements, made my marks,drawn out how I want everything, and I've began making my inital cuts so I can bend the wire easier....however it's taking FOREVER to cut the smallest notches....and then once I do have a cut, it's a pain to get it to bend....any suggestions? this is a pain, It's gonna be sweet once it's done but man it's a pain

ok so the cutting thing still sucks time worse than a vacuum....but I used my head and grabbed some plyers to help with the bending and that made it alot easier  ;D

I'm a quick one...lol

I'll have pics up when I'm done

Do you need to notch the wire?

I used some bar clamps and a piece of 1x4 to sandwich the rack against a work bench with a sharp edge.  Then I just bent the rack down by hand, applying pressure as close to the bench as possible to still get enough leverage but not bend the entire frame.  To get a really tight corner, finish the corner by using a mallet to form the bend to your bench edge.   I didn't go too sharp, maybe a 1/4 inch radius.

If you don't have clamps, use a cutting board and have someone stand on it.

well I got it finished....needless to say I need to hammer it out to even it out (i did it all by hand so I accidently put more pressure in some spots than others)....I think I'm gonna do it again with a dremel and a mallet (and a friend to help)....but I think this will give you the idea of what I'm wanting to do with it

here's how I want it to end up being set up...


the green being the batteries and I will run all of the opticals and other cables of the sort underneath

here's what I started with...


and here's how it ended up in my bag...


like I said, this was my first attempt....and I did it with a dull saw and a wrench (not plyers....a wrench...lol) pretty ghetto...

but it was good enough to let me know how it would fit in my bag...also there is about a half inch between the bottom of the frame and the bottom of the bag so I can get RCA's etc under there

Nice job. I used a table leg to bend the legs on my shelf didnt notch anything. I like your design should work well. +T

I will be storing my mics in the right hand zipper compartment...I figured that I would get a $7 graphite sunglass case (with pop up lid) from wal mart to put the mics in, and I can get a peice of bubble wrap to wrap them in to put em in there...

my basic bag layout will be...

left pocket- extra batteries,shocks
righ pocket-mics,tbar,duct tape
front pocket-flashlight,adapters
rear pocket-clamp,cable ties
internal-as shown

also...if you've been looking at this bag, know that if you get the "mainstays long stacking shelf" and notch it at 1 7/8" then measure off 5 1/2" past that (do this on each side) it will fit exactly into the bag and will be like an internal frame....

enjoy...I think I'm gonna try to redo it again today (ps just checked my bank account and my rig money is in there...SHOPPIN DAY!!!)

I started out with a hack saw and then quickly learned that a big-ass set of bolt cutters was the way to go.
