Aaaand... DONE!
🕑 Added 2022-11-13 06:39:30 +0000 UTCI have to apologize for the latest bout of radio silence, but I've been working like a dog- or bear- to try and get a whole basketful of things done before the end of the year. Which includes some well-overdue customer work.
The penultimate, and arguably the most important- of those was this. One of the last of this year's batch of Vee-Twin Autococker bodies.
This, honestly, should have been finished and out the door six months ago, but this has been such a screwed-up year for me that all sorts of things wound up way off schedule.
Anyway, this second-to-last one is done and will be off to anodizing bright and early Monday morning.
Oh, and it's the right-hand one. The other two were test mules, built off of junk bodies that I'd screwed up earlier, done to develop the actually pretty tricky milling and spacing of parts. Basically, from left to right is the first generation, second generation and third. (Or Mk I, Mk II and Mk III if you're Tony Stark. :) )
You're looking at a collective total of over sixty hours' work, not counting sketching and planning time- most of which I won't get paid for.
Never said I was a brilliant businessman. :)
Anyway, this and a couple of other things were the time-crucial ones. I need to get a few other things done this weekend, and then most of the pressure's off.
I know I'm way behind on several projects and conversations with many of you ladies and gents, and owe a ton of replies, PMs, emails and probably smoke signals. I'll start catching up on those just as soon as I can.
As always, thanks for reading!
Doc.

Take your time! It is absolutely understandable that you are very busy with work) So good luck to you and keep up the excellent work!

good for you...now maybe you could take a minute to answer to a guy from a minority group that keeps waiting and hoping for your answer...

As a mechanic, and part time machinist, I appreciate the time and effort that went in to these! Looking forward to other projects you do.

Woo-hoo! For being done. When I was actively designing, I found on my Good-Fast-Cheap metric, I was good and cheap and not fast. It's very tempting.

Those started from 3" solid round. There's a *bunch* of manual milling in there. :)

Dang, that is really darn cool. I work in a machining-heavy manufacturing environment, so I can *really* appreciate all those holding setups and separate operations!
