So what's everybody up to?

Not that I know of…but then again, I’ve not really investigated. All I bother with is sheet metal and solids… :smiley:

But the issue is, layup sims assume some degree of consistency in the physical process…I have no illusions, my work is not THAT consistent yet.

Oh, if you want to build a mountain bike, I hope you have more hope and consistency than you let on! Else, I wouldn’t even sit on the darn thing, let alone tackle anywhere with trees or rocks!
And we aren’t talking ±0.002", or ±1deg…0, 90, 45s…not that hard :slight_smile:

I still have been cranking away at my roofs. Right now we just finished a 88-91 honda civic roof. This is just an overlay so the customer can take out their 48lb sunroof and all its components and cap it off with this roof.

Designed it so you can still use your oem side moldings

also I am finishing up 2 more applications of roof. Should be starting the mold here in a day

Also been working on my mini truck. Making a bed for it right now and just got it painted and the bottom just got rhino lined

I started this roof today too.

Other then that it has been prety quiet lol

Nice parts rookie!

Heres an update on my shotgun stock mold:

There is NEi Works that is a plug-in to Solidworks. There’s no pricing but I imagine it is pretty lofty.

And yes, there is a steep learning curve for FEA, especially for composites, and especially if you want to get useful and accurate information from your models.


I made this coffee table for a guy who took a spill on a set of stairs and has to have something called spinal fusion done, but at the moment he is fighting the insurance company. He needed a table that was lower than his coffee table to put meds, tv changer etc on while he layed on the couch. So here is what i made for him. Now i’m no wood worker so don’t make fun of me to much.

Copper legs? LOVE IT!
I have to finish off my Webcore panel of that size…few more coats of clear coat, and sand the edges (used extra resin painted on, so it’s dripping off the side!)

That coffee table is awesome! I’m sure your buddy will love it.

thank you, the guy cried when he recieved it, he was expecting a peice of plywood on some 2x4’s.

Awesome table… very nice of you. I’ll keep him in prayer for a good back health. I have lived with back pain off and on for 21 years so I can only imagine how painful “spinal fusion” would be.

I quite often cry at my own work too.

:rolleyes:
