gutted! ( and envious )

I only ever get socks and slippers

 

[Russ hud]

Norman thats amazing!!!!!!!! Bet that cost you a few quid eh?

 

[KeithB]

Wow! Just Wow!

 

[david.northeast]

Wow very good Norman

 

[Norman]

cheers lads, try ebay search 3040 router, not such a big cost really considering the potential.

its very light and has to be taken easy, however it does eventually get through the material munching ....

tackles aluminium as well ......

here's a couple of weight moulds I've been practising on (you might recognise the logos/names)










cheers

Nice one Norman, thats a bling machine

 

[oldessox]

I want one , , love things like that

A thought though, in years to come , when government decides to clean up the seas , only slinky and shady will be able to billed for the clean up , the rest if us are all called 8oz

 

[Skingz]

Now that beats a bottle of Brut....

 

[KeithB]

Wow Wow Wow!!!

I spied the vent holes as well

 

[Kartonkel]

This is stunning

Why dont you produce a few more moulds (Lures and sinkers) and stick them up for sale on this forum.

I will be the first one buying a few of you !!!!! And I wont be the only one...you probably soon will have a wait list.

 

[Tadpoleman]

SOOPA DOOPA ! Mmm how can anyone go one better than that ? It's a long winter lol

 

[The Jester]

Hi-Tech Norm and very impressive i take it that Tony's "Whittling" days are over

Bet you still get some socks though...

 

[kayos]

It's at times like this I wish I wasn't so Haunless!!! :red:

 

[Kev1n]

That’s brilliant Norman. How do you make the CAD designs, they must take a while?

 

[kevin collins]

Is that santas workshop your in there ??

cracking video. when at work we use aluminium moulds and inject them with various plastics and make anything and everything

 

[The Great Wallsendo]

He never does things by half

 

[Norman]

wow thanks for the comments folks

lots to reply to ...
santas grotto ? , errm probably
CAD files ? not too bad when you know how, first parts are basic revolving surfaces with added geometry for blocks etc....... may enlist help for more complicated shapes
produce to sell .... would be nice but the real costs are enormous if the time factor is worked back in ..... but as a hobby free
enjoyment factor 100%

cheers lads
