I have a design and I think we should discuss it! (Split from: Custom Machining...)

Plz make this, ignor specs.

Specs are messed up

Small and wide and light

First things first, you can’t do machining based on a pencil sketch. This really isn’t relevant until you bring a CAD or CNC code, as far as actually getting this made.

In regards to the design, it looks to me like a slightly rounded Wet Whistle with a more exaggerated spike. Not something I would be inclined to buy to be honest.

So there was no machining prior to CAD or CNC?

Youth always makes me laugh.

Please direct me to the equipment that you use to turn pencil sketches on lathes.
I am aware that machining has existed long before computer-aided-design, but I’m pretty sure that’s what Josh requires for machining.
You really don’t need to be so presumptuous.

And a note to Apollo, if you want someone to make a CAD of this, you should put additional measurements on. Like, a lot. The angle on the spikes, the size and radius of certain curves, etc.

Don’t be so narrow minded!

Draw something and do it. Watched my father who was a self taught everything whittle a 150lb block of aluminum into a 22lb masterpiece. Something that no one had ever done and you simply won’t see.

He used his milling machine and a pencil.
