He is a perfectionist, though, with the required skills. I'm not, but I'll give MDF a shot and see what happens. I may have to retreat...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting,<BR/>VictorVictor Francohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16161122557964474277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13861891.post-1144882815274645282006-04-12T16:00:00.000-07:002006-04-12T16:00:00.000-07:00Calvin, that doesn't sound like a bad idea at all....Calvin, that doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. I had mulled making the horsehoes from solid wood, but I don't have a good way of putting the ribs in to reveal the "layers," so I'll probably make real layers instead.<BR/><BR/>I know some of the screen-used R2s don't even have layers, but we all know that they should be there. :)<BR/><BR/>-VictorVictor Francohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16161122557964474277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13861891.post-1144881392456028502006-04-12T15:36:00.000-07:002006-04-12T15:36:00.000-07:00Something I thought about doing when I get my CNC ...Something I thought about doing when I get my CNC Mill going.<BR/>Make the horseshoes out of solid plastic, and Mill the shape into the plastic.I forget the name of the plastic, But its hard enough to make gears.<BR/>The aluminum set is so expensive and they say they can't make them from resin.<BR/>CalvinCalvin Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928574229557018197noreply@blogger.com
