Just a project to work things out with!

This will probably just end up being a garden ornament, but I did the drawing in CAD, cut the parts out of 3mm steel sheet and started tacking it together this evening, sorry no pictures yet.

Doubt if it will be deep enough for practical purposes as only 60mm depth.

Ummm... What is it???

Letterbox by looks of it. How come the angled sides and top are cut out of the rear Adrian?

An homage to Ned Kelly?

It's a rear opening in this drawing so might as well use the waste. Sheetcam can deal with things inside other things and it cut them out OK.

Will be trying to get a bit decorative eventually, but as I am as artistic as a brick, thought I would start simples.

Yes still finding settings on the CNC plasma, most of my stuff is heavy!

Fair enough. Thought you must be in a really rough area!

A few pics as of lunch time,


Now just got to figure a flap and hinges. I have a plan for this, sort of brewing in my mind.
