The blade dimension from the table to the tip of the cutters was hard to hold as the lock down drifted while running.

This was a bit of a bear! I cut the groove on my table saw with the blade just sticking above the table.

Also painted the edge as in the movie gloss white. I used acrylic glue and glued the memory cards to another panel of acrylic and backlit the whole assembly with white leds. I sanded it in ONE DIRECTION vertically by using a 1'x 2' wood guide the clamped a sheet of 150 grit sandpaper underneath and held the plastic against the fence/guide. I also used the black plastic for the face of HAL's facia. Keep the paper on the plastic as long as possible to prevent scratches. Also easy to polish the edges with increasing smooth sandpaper, then steel wool then a polishing wheel and compound for plastics.ĭimensions were estimated off scenes from the movie as scaled of Bowman's hand. Material: 1/2' Acrylic and The black panel is 1/8' black acrylic. Use a propane torch to solder the rod into the pilot hole and POLISH POLISH POLISH starting with 200 sand paper, 400, then steel wool then polishing compound and a wheel. I also used the 4.5' grinder wheel for the cutting of the key. Then I used a round file to radius the slim section the the thick section and a flat file to clean up the slim section. REMEMBER that you can always take more off but you can't put it back on so go slow. I then used a small grinding wheel and CAREFULLY held the wheel flat or parallel to the surface and slimmed down the back half of the key on both sides. and 1/4' brass rod.Ĭut out the basic triangular shape on a band saw, disk sand the sides and drill a 1/4' pilot hole in the end to recceive the brass rod. Material - 1/2' x 1' x 4' bar of solid brass. I wish I had pictures of this key being made but I didn't think about it until after it was basically done. The outlet is always powered for a usb or other desk light, etc. 3) port three is a momentary button that makes HAL talk one of 28 phrases from the movie.Ĥ. 20 port 2 turns on the red and white leds to light up the memory cards and the port holes. 1) port one turns HAL's LED eye on and the Arduino. Many people do not realize there was a key involved in the movie much less how futuristic it looks.ģ. That key gets a lot of compliments in itself. in the movie 2001 a Space Odyssey' Dave Bowman takes a key to disconnect HAL's memory. I am still tempted to take this all apart, sand it and repaint it.Ģ. Use a standard glass enamel as the Lacquer was very problematic in getting a very even coat or shine as the spray literally dried so fast upon landing on the case it has NO LESS than 12 coats on it. Case is made of MDF, sanded, primed and spray painted with Rustoleum LACQUER gloss black paint. That is almost an instructable in itself.ġ. So I purchased the kit and started to work on the 'internals' of HAL.

wav files and play them back and the software to do this with a simple pushbutton. a project that would teach me Arduino and boy did I pick one! I saw that there was a wave shield that could take. Lastly, Iwanted to try something new and higher tech. I also wanted to push the limits of how realistic I could make it. I also wanted it to be functional for some other purpose so I put an outlet in the back to power USB chargers or other device on my desk at work. I stumbled on a replica build of HAL online and I thought it was pretty cool, but being the perfectionist I tend to be on projects, I really wanted a better looking lens, LED light and more realistic front panel piece.
