The end of February 2016 saw the creation process begin, after all the testing and remodelling of the CAD drawings to improve the cutting process we started to undertake the build. The CNC machine time would take about 9 hours and three cutting bits later we had all the...
CNC Tests
The start of February 2016 saw us do the first tests for creating the hull using my brothers CNC machine and this quick move shows how the cutting process will work, which allowed us to see if there were any flaws in the CAD drawings also allowing us to...
