 Milled LogoI figured that since we are having the 50 Million Celebration, I might try my hand at making some stuff. I may not have a CNC machine and a foundry, but I do have access to a rather large manual milling machine.
Here is my progress thus far. [img:2580:1932]http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/8439/1003993gc0.jpg[/img] Webcam pic: [img:348:277]http://img104.imageshack.us/img104/25/logoew3.jpg[/img] That took about 1.5 hours, but about half an hour was spent trimming off a hunk of the aluminum so it would properly fit in the mill's vice. EDIT: I just measured it to give you some perspective as to how big it is, and it is 95mmx140mmx7mm around the very outside. I had to cut down the 140mm edge to separate it from a very large piece of aluminum. _________________ [IMG:391:150]http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/2079/3383rh8.jpg[/img] 20:53:56 ‹PocketLnt› and I quote "Just as geeky, but hotter." 20:54:09 ‹Figgy› hmm 20:54:32 ‹Figgy› if you say so Last edited by Figgy on Tue Apr 24, 2007 8:57 pm, edited 1 time in total. |

Okay, I got to work on it for about an hour today.
3 Milling bits, and some maneuvering later... [img:800:600]http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/4948/pict0630ww3.jpg[/img] I have it to about the right depth that I want. Now all I have to do is do the detail work around the head and the wrenches. _________________ [IMG:391:150]http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/2079/3383rh8.jpg[/img] 20:53:56 ‹PocketLnt› and I quote "Just as geeky, but hotter." 20:54:09 ‹Figgy› hmm 20:54:32 ‹Figgy› if you say so |

After breaking 3 bits for the night, and then realizing how to make the bit speed faster I figured I would call it a night. _________________ [IMG:391:150]http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/2079/3383rh8.jpg[/img] 20:53:56 ‹PocketLnt› and I quote "Just as geeky, but hotter." 20:54:09 ‹Figgy› hmm 20:54:32 ‹Figgy› if you say so |

So now you use a little ink roller over it and we have Thad Stamps?

I don't think that aluminum is absorbent enough to make a stamp.
Tensaiteki is still around, he did his out of foam on his CNC machine. I would have tried it his way, but I lack a CNC and a foundry. _________________ [IMG:391:150]http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/2079/3383rh8.jpg[/img] 20:53:56 ‹PocketLnt› and I quote "Just as geeky, but hotter." 20:54:09 ‹Figgy› hmm 20:54:32 ‹Figgy› if you say so |
