Taking some time away from my fantasy IOM design that I've been working on, I thought it would be good to actually start making something again instead of just working on the computer.
Today I was finally able to find some time to start cutting the V8 frames today, although I only was able to cut two of the eight total sheets.
As a reminder, Ian Vickers graciously allowed me to use his original CAD file to create a file for laser cut frames. This means that the frames are exactly (to about 1/10 mm accuracy due to the width of the laser beam and such) as Ian drew them originally. They are offset by 2mm to allow for planking and shaping. I finished the file over a month ago but haven't had time to get to the laser cutter at work.
Here is what I was able to cut today...
Will hopefully finish tomorrow or early next week so I can get them set up and start planking.
More later as I find time.
Aloha!
