Hey, I've had success getting help on this project a couple times before in this forum, and I'm thinking this is the best place to put it, but if you think it would be better in cabinets or something let me know. Everything in the computer forum seems related to software or hardware problems. I might try posting in crafts, but I think this is more of a metal working situation because that's what I'm dealing with,. So...

I am building a modded desktop for the first time, which you can see pictures of here The panel with the porthole is really heavy, (though less heavy with Plexiglas then it was when I had a .5" thick tempered glass lol) It DOES fit on the notches and slide in, but it's heavy enough that you have to lay the case on the side to put it on, which I wouldnt want to do once my components are inside (although I guess it wouldn't harm it, it certainly wont be good for it) Also I need to try to get it as close to airtight as possible. If no one has any idea what I could do to hold the metal panel in place, I'll also take suggestions on something to weld or drill onto the other side to weigh it down so I don't have to lay it on it's side. :) I am hoping you guys can give me a suggestion of some type of custom mod to make the panel slide in. Also as much as I appreciate how awesome these forums are, I'm still new here so if you think I should try putting this in crafts or cabinets instead let me know. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I recently bought a chef's knife at a garage sale and I think it's a fairly high quality knife. The blade is 10" long and I've found that it's too long. I use my 8" chef's knife a lot and would like a second 8". So my question is can I cut down the 10" a couple of inches? I have very little experience working with metal. I have several tools that I would use if I take on this project: a bench grinder, a Dremel tool and a Work Sharp sharpener - one of those mini belt sander sharpeners. My thought is to cut the knife to shape using my Dremel with a cutoff disk, basic shaping with the bench grinder and then final shaping and sharpening with the Work Sharp. I'm not opposed to taking it to a professional knife smith, but thought I'd take a crack at it first. I'd sure appreciate your advice or any tips.
