Yeah, I know, but I also forgot to mention that one of the things I need to do is to modify the bow to only about 12" or so.
Less unwieldy and less juice required to run it.

I think the biggest cause of the "greenhouse" effect and global warming is all the hot air (or is it hot CO2?) that the "humans are destroying the world!" crowd are blowing where my sun don't shine.

I thought I had but when I installed it I still had the Express version.
I figured it limited me to that since that is what I had registered.
I'll try again.
Thanks.

On the Sketch menu there is a Move option. :o
Who knew? I had looked for such a thing but not seen it.
AND, selecting Help>Help and looking under the "Index" tab for "Move" doesn't get you squat....

Thanks guys.
Just what I needed.

Let me guess, you're building a telescope and got the pipe from Hastings.
Where in Iowa are you from?
I live up by Mason City and have always thought it would be great fun to build a telescope.

Mr. magick-
Nice design. :rainfro:
So nice in fact that you're forcing a small redesign of mine.
I had intended to go with something like in the attached but think now that raising the X-axis up...

I, in no way, can claim credit for the idea; just sharing what others have shared with me.

As long as your part will fit into the bags, seems real close perfect to me.
Quick, easy, not very...

Mike-
Thanks for the help you've given.
I've kind of followed the tutorials and kind of done some of my own.
Attached are a couple that I have done of things sitting around my computer desk.

OK, I see where you both talking about now.
Not a problem; I can deal with that.

Actually, this is a high tolerance part.
OK, in reality, I probably will not notice the difference between a conical cone, an ogive, a parabolic or an elliptical, but this is what is known as a Von...

Tom-
If I understand correctly, you are suggesting taking a block of aluminum and machining a nose cone shaped hole into it and using that as the female mould.
I guess that would work.
Off the top...

Sorry, I have to plead ignorance here; I don't know what you are saying.

mrphyyber, shibi, and anyone else-
Thing is, I want the shape to be pretty close to exact and a wood lathe run by hand just isn't going to be that close.
Second, to turn it I would not only need to...

I don't have a way to make an aluminum mold, although someone here might.
Also, I want to learn/practice that method of mould making.
