I was hoping to have this put together but had an argument with a bag of concrete mix and now I have either a herniated disc or a stress fracture. L4 - my favorite. So, it is all I can do to sit at the computer for a half hour. I still am hoping to do WCR, but that is 4,000 miles for me in a 914. Heal faster (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
Anyway here is what we got: Started with the dies from an earlier attempt. Smooth out the old and mill the new ![]() I bought a rotating table and the mill for this project. Well and other things too First step was making the clamps. I also made a punch so the I can start with the holes for lights and maintain registration ![]() That gives me this: ![]() Ready to press. I spent a lot of time setting things up for a pin router to cut out the gauge windows, but that didn't work out. So I have the dies and the sheet ready to form. |
