Greetings, Haven't been on here for a while...yes, require kick up butt !!! Thought you peoples may be interested in a wee project I made for fellow member "NZ1009". I don't think he'd mind me showing this off. He wanted a alloy template of a Harvard pic he really liked. So, I spent many hours behind the computer CAD doing this and then got CNC machined out from 3mm alloy. Then was silver anodised and painted to suit. Bear in mind the flash of the camera makes the colours appear lighter than it is. I was very pleased with the end result as was he.     |

Thats a great job well done! I've been discussing the "Bristol" logo I did with our friendly CAD designer and have a new program to try out this week. They are versatile machines aren't they?

Nice work Chris.
You have certainly come a long way since the antics we got up to in High School..........I dont think I laughed so much in class than when I was in metalwork with you!!

Cheers Anthony Thanks Anthony, I guess making a trolley-jack and machining the wheels so they were actually off the ground rather than making it roll was a "slight oversight"..... ;D ;D ;D |
