 Because we may get a wild hair up our ass and build something cool.
T-Rex is my project, TIE is my little brother's. |

That's exactly correct. :D I got mine done about a year before him though, but his is wayyyy cooler. Mine is a prototype project to make a full scale t-rex (22 feet tall) out of 1/2" AR500 and set it at about the 300 yard line at a machine gun shoot. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Designed, cut, fabbed, and assembled in house. Not for sale, just a promo item to show off what Gerlinger Steel can do. They cut my AR500 target stuff for me (including the T-rex), but they are behind right now due to flooding in NorCal and working on stuff for the Oroville Dam project. |

Cool. I made a velociraptor for my youngest.
 Attached FileI used a waterjet instead. What plate thickness did you use? I used 11ga and I wish I had at least made the spine out of thicker material. |

T-rex is 4' tall, and had balance issues when made all of the same material. So, the current version has 1/4" plate for the legs and upper body, 3/8" for the tail section and tail bones.
Wanna swap drawing files? Velociraptor is my spirit animal. |

I have them somewhere on a jumpdrive. I need to modify the way the arms attach to the body. If it was done anotomically correct there would be no problem. The design has the arms mounted on the far end from the hands and there is some noticeable torque. They should be mounted on the forward end of the horizontal arm bone to the breastbone. It would balance much more. I had a balance problem too that does not show up with 6" tall wood models. If you look close there is a half inch round rod from the chest going along the sternum and down between the legs. Its similar to a museum mount so it works well.

I programmed an amada 3015 4k for about 7 months, great machine.
Also worked with an old Cincinnati 707 co2 laser, it handled the thicker stuff very well. Work in another area of manufacturing now and can't understand how our manufacturing manager keeps underestimating the efficiency of lasers. No upfront tooling, little drop if you have a good programmer, and little time required to make a program. We were one of the large producers of waycovers for a certain NC manufacturer and churned them out nonstop. Miss that job sometimes, I was getting pretty good. |

Yes, but nobody has bullets that can turn downwards 90deg into the exhaust port, last I checked. |
