I drilled carriage bolt holes smaller than the square shoulder and then filed the holes to shape and size. |
| Mike A:
Then I gave it a basic rattle can paint job to protect the steel. The nozzle leaked globs. That is what I get for letting paint sit around forever. But it is good enough to be eventually covered with a CPO. If you are paying attention you can see where I ---fouled up beyond all recognition--- up a couple of the carriage bolt holes. It was a learning process. |

That was all a couple of weeks ago. This last weekend I flew out to Arroyo's place. That is a whole other adventure. While I was out there he did some Photoshop work for me and gave me a tutorial... (a photoshop tutorial). When I got home I laid my vector layout file on top of his Photoshop work. Then I moved the elements around to match my cp. I had to make a phone call for additional help from Arroyo. Once that was all sorted I printed it out actual size in super low fidelity and no color. that way I could match it up to the real CP before it goes off to the printer. It still needs to be spruced up a bit, but it is almost ready to get printed. I will post a final pic of the CPO in full color before it goes to the printer. And that brings you up to date. |

Nice job. I miss the access I had to a plasma CNC. I made tons of custom metal pieces. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
