Very nice Chris. I really love seeing the jigs and fixtures you make to help with your mass production. You'll have these chains done soon!Will the drive chains be the same? Or will the rollers be smaller for those?Kim
Even starting the New Year with a bang! Damn Dog you don't come up for air do you? Some amazing fixture work and craftsmanship Dog. Don
Chris--I can fully appreciate how much work there is in 3D modeling all of those connected chain links. I just found out about 2 months ago that my Solidworks 3D software now has the capability to pattern chain-links around a sketched line. Of course, you have to do the math and have the segments of sketched line all add up to a length divisible by the chain pitch. It is a nifty piece of software, but not something I would probably use on normal "for pay" jobs. I love the work you are doing, and check every day to see your progress.---Brian
.... can edit an earlier step with different parameters and it automatically updates all the later operations and dependant drawings. Very cool.

Very cool.The video/audio editing world calls this NLE, or non-linear editing.I wouldn't touch a 3D package that did't have this, I'm not aware of any that don't.Really ejoying following your build, great stuff (and educational!)
