SHAPER
« on: March 06, 2025, 01:16:44 PM »

Hello Everybody

I recently posted a brief story about my build of a P M Research Shaper but it disappeared so here goes again. I recently got back to work in my hobby shop after a long break due to some heart problems but now I have a Pacemaker and I am doing much better and I want to enjoy things again.
This was a very nice kit, not too challenging but still a lot of little parts that kept me busy for awhile.


Thanks
Jack

Came out great!
I saw the post yesterday, but the entry just took me to oa blank page, so I assume it got deleted by the admins since it didn't post properly the first time? Anyway, nice work! What is next on the bench?

When I posted yesterday I think there was problem with the photo from my iPhone causing all kinds of trouble but I believe that I have sorted it out. Now it's all good. and I will start posting more of my work. I don't really know what to build next, over the last dozen years or so I have made just about every model that's available but I am open to suggestions from the group. I enjoy making things and I am extremely proud of the models that I can actually produce myself with just some time and a couple of thousands of dollars worth of tools, But who's complaining its a HOBBY.


Thanks
Jack

Would be great to see some pictures of the other models. We love pictures here!
I've taken to searching out old plans and patent drawings of machines, good way to find new things to model that aren't just the same old kit.

Beautiful little shaper, Jack!  You did a great job on it.

As Chris said, we'd love to see other models you've made too.
