Nice stuff Bob,

What software did you use? Could you post a tutor on what you did? Did you import plan into that Software and trace over it? Just how did you go about it? Or are you just advertising?

Bryan, Solidworks.
I always start in autocad with the plan, create the sections and outlines as needed, all referenced to a common zero point. Save as .DXF and then insert the DXFs into solidworks.
From there, sections can be cut as needed, then back to autocad for the laser parts
Advertising, no, just like to get more designs out there.

This is what it will look like eventually, EF2000 example.
