    Default Some WaterJet Cut Goodies

    Chris from Custom Water Cuts did an amazing job rendering the CAD drawing and cutting the aluminum for an upcoming project of mine, and I thought I'd share some pics of his craftwork. These cuts arrived today!

    Project Mojo

    This is cut from 1/4" material. The "Goldberg" style projector reel is 12" in diameter, and the top part with the Avid logo is 15" long.

    Wow thats really cool, how do they charge for something like that. Is it by the space cut or, size. Also how much is an average cut. That movie reel is badass i must say.

    Hehehe..Chris is actually a member here but prolly too busy lately!..but I'll let him know. The projector reel is not connected, I might actually make it spin on the side of the case. The idea is to model the case after an old film projector--complete with flickering light, gears and bits of 35mm film

    It all starts with an idea and the balls to say Yes, I can do this. We both know that power. If you can SEE it you can achieve it. I see it. Can't wait. Im glad we decided to go with the best editing system and not some cheap, oops I mean inexpensive one. You are the best!

    Water jets are such a nice option for metal cutting. The cut is smooth and crisp without a sharp edge and you don't have to worry about heat distortion from the cutting. Looks like a soon-to-be worklog is coming in the near future.

    Wow!

    I was looking at a quarter of a million pounds of laser cutter in action the other day and that is a sight to behold!
