The Tin Can - I Might Actually Leak Check It Soon - Video
I don't know for sure if I have all the leaks welded up yet, but I haven't been able to take it out and leak check it until now. I finally have the winch tower redone specifically for a square front jon boat, and have a new winch on it. Now for a safety cable and some straps.

Wow! Good practice in deep pocketing techniques. Before I do another anything like this I am going to get some more extended length endmills in larger sizes.
I could have done it on the lathe (and I cleaned it up on the lathe when I was done), but I wanted to do it on the mill. The 5HP mill definitely pushes the big drills better than the lathe would have.
Re: Stuff made with CamBam
Nice work there, and your choices of wood work very nicely. I'm just starting to work with wood using CB, and I have a few questions. But, for now, when you use CB for doing the feeds and speeds, do you use what CB chooses, or do you have that worked out on your own? I'm using the Height Mapping feature of CB, and I wonder if the X-Y-Z speeds are much different on wood versus aluminum. If you have any suggestions on tooling versus speeds, etc, it would be very helpful. Even a suggested web site with this info would be nice. Thanks much for your time. John

I'll kick off with a small project that used pocketing and profiling, generated from a dxf file. The full story can be had here:

The zipfile contains the CamBam files and the g-code files generated from the cb files. X0 and Y0 are bottom left, Z0 is top of the material.
The side pieces are cut from 1/4" material, the tops and bottoms are cut from 1/8" material. Everything is cut with a 1/8" end mill.
Just wondered what you had made your cable chain from? I tried making it from hard board... Did not go so well...

Try HDPE.

Thanks, Bob. I will give that a shot. I hope the fish are biting (and staying hooked!)

Fishing you got my attention. Fishing is my drug of choice no matter if it's salt or fresh. :)
