I see plans under the wood form. It'd be great to see them, if you haven't posted them already.Jim
Looking forward to seeing this build
Quote"Oh, are you guys still back in that silly alternate universe with only 24 hours in a day?! We got another 4 or 6 inches of snow overnight, more coming tonight. Its good to be retired so I can pick when I go out! A guy I know lives near Buffalo where the lake effect snow comes off of Lake Erie, they regularly get snow by the foot whenever the wind is blowing from the west, which it usually is. "Chris I have been trying to find the universe with more than 24 hours in a day for years.It is nice to be retired and pick when you have to go out, but sometimes the Gods are against you. Yesterday I had a heart specialist appointment downtown, took me an hour to go what is normally a 25 minute bus ride, then 45 minutes on two subways, that normally is a 30 minute ride. Then to top it all off they want to do another heart procedure.I once asked one of the Buffalo Guys why there ancestors had not moved to somewhere with less snow after the first winter, He said that they had probably burned there wagons the first year to keep warm. with to days temperature I can understand that -12 C now.Are you going to do a thread on your sea turtle build?Gerald.

Thanks guys!Definitely going to be a long movie, think Peter Jackson and a Tolkien story!Hmm, I have the RC boats, a canal would be useful to get to the neighbors pool!!
Hi Chris,As you know already I have been inspired by your recent work on the very successful Lombard and now the Marion Shovel.Your 3D drawings in Fusion 360 give a great example of what can be achieved with realistic and detailed illustrations of the workings of these rather complex machines. I am still working with my thoughts on Ruston-Bucyrus Shovels which in many ways are similar to Marion's products. It seems that much of the original information on the R-B designs has been lost along with those of Ruston & Hornsby as a result of the takeovers by English Electric and then Siemens, neither of which were likely to have an interest in shovels. However I am still collecting whatever I can find, including various sources which have found their way to the Antipodes.I have been a user of Autodesk Inventor for some time and I want to compare the results from that very expensive programme with your work with the free ( for hobbyists) Fusion 360 which originates from the same software house. I wonder whether Inventor which has all sorts of bells and whistles but was 'invented' some years ago would perform as well as Fusion 360 which surely must have more up-to-date origins. Sorry to hijack your thread.Jerry
