One could certainly take the assembly instruction pdf and use the design technique as inspiration for other objects created in the same fashion. That shouldn't step on any toes.

I always thought this was neat...

Brett Now your talkin....

Bill thanks for the picture. Yes, neat.

Since I have started my shopbot two weeks ago, I have found that I am thinking differently about design. Any new ideas add to my learning. Reading many posts here on this site are very helpful.
Seeing the hammer design made me want to figure out how to do it myself and use the basic theory and apply it in the future my own way.

I guess Brett said it best. The key word he used was "inspiration"

Here are some more neat design ideas...I especially like the one for the ham!

Hi Guys,

That hammer was cut on a sShopBot PRT Alpha with a 3 hp Columbo Spindle. It was designed by the blokes at Vert Design Andrew, Jonathan and Mitchell. They also have several other mobiles wind vanes and wooden toys that they have.

The original file was drawn in solid works and was refined and reworked in ArtCam then toolpathed in Artcam.

I had the pleasure of being involved in the process by refining the design and then cutting it.

I have done several projects for them including this one.

Unfortunately the files are not available as they are a commercial project.

Kind regards,

[davidp]

Hi Guys,

I have spoken to the blokes at Vert Design, they were very impressed and flattered by your comments.

Hopefully I have convinced them to put the file up on the Project Wizard. So what would you pay for such a file $10, $15 perhaps only $7.50.

I know if it works for them they have lots more files they would be willing to put onto something like Project Wizard
but they have to get some return for their investment.

If you thought the hammer was good you need to see their chair.

Any way your thoughts and ideas would be appreciated.

Regards,

David

Hi David,
I was the start of this thread and many good posts are here.
Thanks for your information. I would go to....
The Shopbot Message Board list and look at the thread " The Economy "

I think the answer or who to ask is there.
