2d cad work isn't much more involved than using mspaint. You could learn how to do simple stuff like that in an hour or two. You could even import your jpg file as a raster image and just trace over it. Man up and teach yourself something new :grin:

Can I take you up on that offer about the auto cad material?
I need to learn how to use it buy usually don't have the time with everything else going on at work.
I have google sketch up with all intentions of just using that but I can never get anything to actually go together, or create anything!

Don't forget to tag in the D,A,R etc etc otherwise you will just end up with holes.(think army font)..Also water jet will be a tad expensive for just a one off.Just laser cut it,I,m guessing the Ali will not be very thick.You thought about brushed stainless?,Got a sh1t load of that.

Hi all,

Dragging this topic back to the top as i could still do with a little help with this porject. I now have a better version than on the first page but it still needs finishing and converting to the right file type. I now have a company lined up to do the waterjet cutting at a pretty good price. Here's what i now have...



Any help is much appreciated

cheers
