Jim,
Now that you've played a bit with your tooling, have you figured out how many letters you can do in one run? I was still toying with something like 914-Automatic.

Thanks...PS you're emblems look great.



Thank you!

The 914-GT is the longest I can do in one run, but I've also been playing with ideas on how to move the piece and position it correctly for the next set of letters.

I will give it a try next week and report back to you. Do you want all uppercase letters? I'm not sure how the lower case letters are supposed to be formed quite yet. (but I'd be happy to make something up!)

I like the GT emblems. What do I need to do to get one?



Thank you, Dave! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

They are $65, and I will PM you right now.

Build a jig to hold the piece that will extend the bed. Cut the first six, stop, move the piece over in the jig and start the second program.

Hi Dave,

My emblem was bent as well because the paper pouch gives it no rigidity. If you tape the emblem to a wood paint stirring stick, there would be no problem. I just bent my emblem back with a little love and it was fine.

I have been working it with the Dremel to get the 8 the right shape for me and softened the outsides of the numbers. I tried some polishing. I think I will have Al Reed chrome plate it when he does my wheels. It will be a great finishing touch.

Charlie, I wish it were that simple. It's writing the seperate sets of programs that is needing some more of my attention. I'm thinking of putting an x/y zero hole at the end of the first set of letters, and aligning the hole with 'home' to mill out the next set. make sense? I was planning on just working on it and then posting pics sometime next week. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Bob,

the wood paint stick idea is GREAT! Thank you!! I'm sorry yours showed up bent. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I'm glad that it went back with a little love and was fine. The modifications you are doing to it are looking really nice! Thank you for posting the picture and providing some feedback. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Charlie,

I've started your drawing.

Do you like the 'H' Fillet'd like this? Or do you prefer sharp edges on the outer corners like the 4 and the 1?

Brett, thank you for posting that one. =o)

That was the practice run. It didn't start out as a practice run, but it sure ended that way when I saw that it hadn't cut all the way through.


Your 914-6 2.7 is in the works. The 914-6 with the thicker metal is on the mill now, ready to be cut out, and your 2.7 is next after that.

This 2.7 doesn't quite look right... something about the 7. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Looks good. This is how I made mine several years ago... (bondo!)

3 was a "2" from 2.0, and 6 was a "9" from 914.

HI, they look great. Any plans for 914-6 GT, when you get to do a longer piece?
Can't wait to see what other ones you do.
Geoff.

That 3.6 looks good. It gives me an idea of what a 3 might look like. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


Geoff, yes! That is in the list for when I figure out the longer pieces. I am also looking into a longer table for my x-axis, which will really help with the longer emblems.

Looking further, turn 914 upside down and focus on the 4. I think you'll find the right shape for the 7.

Yeah! That's it right there! Silly me, I turned my head instead of picking up an emblem off of my desk. lol (there's a handful of them here now, just not a 1.7 yet)

Jim the T and H look fine to me. On the 7 how about rounding both the top corners to match the 9? Oh yeah and also use the dash like the gt version.

Charlie, good deal! I'll get yours cut out here shortly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I requested pics in another thread; and now see what the stock one looks like. I'm working on the drawing right now, and it's looking much better! no rounded edges on the 7, I tried it and it looked funky.

The width of the "2" and the "7" should be about the same, would be my guess.

see how the 2 and the 7 are similar widths in the 911 engine graphic.
