A while ago already images of the block could be seen in these forums, but recently I have finished an article on their construction if to somebody it interests him.

It is not in English, i´m sorry, my English is very, very bad

, but you can see some pics.

Wow that is a beautiful block!

#Rotor · 02-08-2004, 09:17 PM

with Artistic craftmanship like that, who needs english

Mosh · 02-08-2004, 09:27 PM

that´s a beatifull peace of work... hehehe and i can read the article (i´m portuguese,

)

-J- · 02-08-2004, 09:47 PM

seen it before, but im still amazed

trit187 · 02-09-2004, 03:30 AM

not only is the appearence and design... just terrific, but the inginuity and craftsmanship to create it is incredable. it's truely art. I (and I believe many others) struggle to just create a simple design and follow it up with a block. but to be able to design and manufacture something like that is amazing.

killernoodle · 02-09-2004, 08:23 AM

I could have sex with it.

Meethoss · 02-09-2004, 08:33 AM

You can get surgery for that sort of "inadequacy", killernoodle :P

dnkroz · 02-09-2004, 10:57 AM

Thank´s all and thank you trit187. The pain is that many details about construction, only can be appreciated reading the article. Also there are others that I didn't write for not lengthening it too much.

Altavista's BabelFish Service can translate, more or less, any web page. Just copy-paste the URL, select from what language you want it translated, to what language you want to read it in, then click the magic button, and automagically it will, more or less, be translated into your language.

Thats a beautiful water block, btw. I had it as my desktop wallpaper for a while

The portuguese and the spanish language are similar, but I wrote it in spanish

Thank´s for the link superart. I hope that translator is enough.

If I find a better translator, I will write it here

lolito_fr · 02-09-2004, 03:17 PM

The pictures left me speechless.

Made with a 60€ Drill press, and a few simple hand tools from what I can gather. Awesome stuff...

(who needs word, i say only this)

AngryAlpaca · 03-07-2004, 09:56 PM

That is a BEAUTIFUL block. How is the performance, though? Is that an original? I swear I've seen something exactly like that before...

Pritorian · 03-08-2004, 04:02 AM

No word are needed!

Just the drooling face

MMZ_TimeLord · 03-08-2004, 10:00 AM

What's amazing is this was done with tools no more complicated than a piller drill (drill press), grinder and dremel.

WOW

dnkroz · 03-08-2004, 11:29 AM

Hi all.

Eso es un bloque HERMOSO. ¿Cómo es el funcionamiento, aunque? ¿Es eso una original? Juro que he visto algo exactamente como ése antes…

The one that you can see is the unique that it exists and will not do more. The performance it´s at the end of the article.

Quote:

Cuál es asombroso es éste fue hecho con las herramientas complicadas que un taladro del piller (prensa del taladro), amoladora y dremel.

In the article I make reference to the grinder and to the Dremel when I do I speak about the precautions that there are to have at the time of working with certain tools. The grinder I did not get to use it and the Dremel basically for modify the screws.

The main tools that I have used, have been the cheapest drill-press than I could find with some accessory (sandpaper, polish, some mills) hand drill, hand saw and weld with a... blowpipe??....uhmmm sorry for my English again.

You mean "Solder with a blow torch" I believe.

Don't worry about your english... I can't speak or read spanish, so you're one language up on me.

Who cares? Your block making skills are very, very good!

It's the best block I've seen since Paul Vodrazka's Phase II block.

To quote Snowball in the good old movie Clerks "Oooh, that´s beautiful, man!"
A truly good looking water block. Impressive!
Killernoodle, that would be a very interesting addative to the water (I use WaterWetter myself) but don´t You think it would affect WB performance?
