Hehe - an aweful lot of bling in the design, I like it :headbang: Just to clarify, that 123D is the free CAD software Jason linked to in his recent post? Chris |

Chris, Yes, that's the one - I should have put that in. Seems nice, or rather, will be nice, still lots of quirks for Autodesk to sort out but they seem to be actively working on it. As far as I can tell the beta was only released a couple of weeks ago. I've spent all my time last week (Between taking endless cuts off the chunk of ally) trying to get to grips with it. Lots of promise, but very frustrating at the minute. If you have a go prepare to lose many hours. There doesn't seem to be an 'auto save' so save every time you make a change as it will crash - A lot. Good luck- Steve PS. Nice to see your Webster back together :thumbup: |

Hi Steve :thumbup: Looks like your off to a good start :headbang: ,,,,,,,,,, your idea for finning of the head looks great :med: Rob |

Hi, :wave: Thanks for comments. It's nice to know someone's watching. I've made a bit more progress on the build. I was held up a bit as the head block wasn't going to fit in my 4 jaw so I had to make some clamps to hold it on the face plate - They'll come in useful for other stuff too though. It was a bit scary having this lot spinning round but with the nuts on one clamp bolt and a big 'T' nut bolted behind it balanced quite well, only spun it at about 400 rpm but it still bored out ok :D Cheers for looking, Steve. |
