    BF20 (G0704) Enclosure

    Having moved to a new house, and having had enough of cleaning chips from every corner of my workshop (at the old workshop), I decided to build an enclosure for my BF20L Vario clone before setting it up again.

    From what I could find on the webs, there was little (to none) in the way of detailed enclosure designs (with plans and/or dimensions), so I will be posting my detailed plans (with drawings) for my enclosure.

    Some general specs:
    - The size of the chip tray is 30" deep by 60" wide.
    - The height of the enclosure is 32" tall (I hope that's tall enough)
    - The enclosure walls attach to the outside frame of the chip tray.
    - Not Planning to put a ceiling on it at first, unless chips start flying out. Then I'll reconsider.

    I wanted to design/build a semi-modular enclosure where I could upgrade/modify the enclosure part interdependently from the tray. I should be able to remove any of the sides without taking down the entire enclosure.

    Last night I bought some wood and built the chip/flood tray.

    The outside frame is 1"x4" pine, and the bottom of the pan is 1/2" plywood.
    I nailed and glued all the wood together (Used PL Premium as the adhesive)
    Sealing the wood with an epoxy resin should happen soon.

    More to come as I build it.
