Any good designers want to help me out?
« on: November 14, 2015, 08:08:06 am »
Hey Everyone..

I am looking for someone that would be willing to help me design my first project with me.  I have all the ideas in my fat head but I have a hard time designing it.  I have never used sketch up.  I do use solidworks but very little as of now.

Would love to have someone help me make my idea into a machine. I plan to have lot's of curves and sphere like shapes.  Maybe some chrome or gold (fake) plated parts.

I will be doing a complete build on here to show my work as well.

Please let me know if you would like to help :)

Thanks

Dezi

P.S.  I am from Ontario

just a suggestion but maybe it would be best for you to post some of your rough ideas here.
start a thread with some pics of your rough ideas (hand drawn or digital)
start tooling around with sketchup and you'll get the hang of it as you go.
there are also many models on sketchup that you can download and maybe something can be modified to get closer to what you're looking for.

maybe someone will step up to assist in the full design but over the years I've seen many projects hashed out and cleaned up on this forum.
