Crap-O-Cad does work

(1/2) > >>

bogstandard:
I had an email this morning from John S, my apprentice and he wanted to fit a saddle stop to his new lathe, and didn't know an easy way to make one.

So a couple of minutes with my crap-o-cad program (black pen and a bit of paper) this morning had the solution winging its way to him thru the ether. See first pic.

Away I went to have a big molar taken out this lunchtime. So feeling sorry for myself, and I was fed up with kicking the cat for me having an aching jaw, I opened up my emails.

Lo and behold, a return piccy. See second pic.

Just goes to prove, little mods like this can be done very quickly and efficiently.

Crap-O-Cad works very well John, as Ralph and I can attest to  :headbang: ............... is the 256 8 Colour upgrade due out soon   :scratch:

Dave,

Just been using a 3 colour version, but it gets a lot more expensive the more colours you have, to have 8 colours, costs eight times as much as a single colour.

But joking aside, if you can scribble up a little sketch like this, making the part becomes an easy exercise. For one off's there is no need for full cad packages, and they are usually a lot easier to understand because you can just stick bits of info on them wherever you want.

Well that certainly works for me John  :D


I have 6 colour COC on the shelf.... But I usually stick to the black ink.... It's cheaper  :thumbup:



Nice to know JohnS is still cranking out good workmanship too  :clap:



I'll have to copy that stop one of these days!!!  :hammer:

Ralph,

Due to me having copyrights on it, I will let you have a two colour repro of the plans (black AND white), in exchange for only four packets of Morrison's raspberry jam doughnuts. Just enough to keep me going for a day. :coffee: ::)

BTW, John S is turning out some really nice work now, even modding plans to suit his own methods of working. I think he just enjoys pottering around by himself, and just asking questions when he gets a bit stuck, as we all do.

He is even trying to bring along his own apprentice now, so that will make me a grandad mentor. :hammer:
