I can no longer put it off and will start with post/thread here, that way I'll have to finish it. I actually started making chips 10 days ago BUT, I'm real sloooow..
Here's a few pictures: 8x14, Z-axis solid model assembly, and what i've got done so far.
Did I mention, I'm real slow,
Jack
P.S. I hope this is the right place for this thread
Cool! I've been waiting for someone to do this and document it.... I understand about the slow part, I have the same thing.
Chris.
