That's not bad at all, considering what it would have taken manually...measured in days not hours :)  For me anyway.

Fantastic giant bookshelf you made to make the bike look like it was scaled down! Amazing work, Steve.

Now that's some major "WOW". OK,  so I gotta know,  what do you remember the most : the blisters from the rope kicking back or the burn on the inside of your thigh from the muffler  :lolb:? Damn nice Bubba :ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp:

Steve,
Amazing work.  I need to figure out Cambam to do more than simple shapes.  I am a long ways from what you are doing.
Keep the build log coming, it inspires the rest of us.

I have made a prototype side cover. There are a few things that I am not happy with but the Gcode has been updated and I should be able to make 2 nice ones tomorrow.

Steve-  Veeerrrrry cool build. When we were kids, these were the envy of everyone without one. Can't wait to see the small bits like the starter cord, clutch and carb being made. Late to this thread but now will follow along closely. Curious if you are planning to sleeve the block or run on aluminum bore....may have been mentioned but apparently missed it. Well done sir!  Paul

Watch the compression ratio and timing, that rope kick back can be a killer  :lolb: BTW, has anybody told you,  "I like............. :Love:". Darn good stuff Bubba.
