A few days ago I started the progress of making Noiz's boxes / cubes that he wears around his hip. I thought it was just going to be tedious, boring and time consuming, but i was so wrong. It also took my arm and neck!
I have been in pain since a day ago. The sore is finally wearing off. And, I promise I will not make anther cube for a very very long time!
After that I decided i want it to be way better looking than this so I sanded all 6 sides of the cube. Now, I'm sure you can imagine how I killed my arm after 20 x 6 sides to sand.
Here are somethings to watch out before you get in to this:
- Use cement glue, tacky glue or normal glue to do this. Do not use hot gun. It is extremly hard to sand.
- Don't use glossy paint. It will make a imperfect cube more imperfect because the shine.
- Try not to sand all the cubes in one go! At least my arm didn't handle that very well.
- Try to sand it with a electronic sanding tool if you can. Or else with sand paper it took me hours!
- Maybe try half cubes black board half white board. Because you need to color half of them black and half of them green. That way uses less paint. (I had to layer 3 to 4 coats of green paint on the cardboard i got, which was a black with white foam inside x3x)
