Those are some great engravings B4i7. I guess I wil have to add some of those ball nose endmills to my wishlist. I think you have also engraved the outlines of the images, like the S, didn't you? I order my mills abroad in Germany, to save money on the shippingcosts I only order stuff when I have a list with more parts. Besides that I will have to save some money first But I will definately buy a couple of those ball nose mills, thanks for the tip.
I finished almost all the hoseclamps now.
I don't know whether you remember the thing I made for the pump, the acrylic housing. I needed to dress it up a bit.
It's not finished yet, still need to cut away some of the ribs for the pumpoutlet. Will have to wait for the glue to harden first.
At first I wanted only to glue on those black ribs. Made the transparant acrylic parts just to keep everything in place while glueing it onto the housing, but I like those transparant parts so much that I will leave them on.
Hose clamps have turned out beautifully (I didn't expect anything less lol). That pump shroud is looking good, can't wait to see it attached.

I've spend the last three and a half hours reading this post, because the one on hardware.info wasn't updated for quite a while, and wasn't as detailed as this one.
It is just amazing how far you've got and how nice your work is. Keep it up!
Hope you show it again in eindhoven some day, I live just across the border in Belgium and would certainly like to see this one in real life once it's finished.
You sure know how to make us curious franklin! We're dying for an update!
Franklin I have to say that it is beautiful! Nice Work
Any progress?
