[AT] FW: Jay Leno's Parts Machine,the end of the pattern maker

[Ken Hough]

Been there and have done that. My son restores
very old ( pre 1920 ) tractors. This technology is invaluable for 
making nearly anything. I think that maybe this summer I'll start on 
window cranks and flaps. The neat thing is the way you save a file 
allows you to modify the part in a CAD program. Lets face it those 
flaps are not to tough. They break. So make them heavy duty with 
out giving up on original looks. If you saw the video, a printing 
machine can also spit out wax in order to make a lost wax cast part.
Or it can make the mold to pour wax into. It's a reverse of the copied 
part.

Opinion NEEDED..........Is the spring to hold the "flapper" closed up 
needed?

You guys need to check this out. Endless possibilities for making 
obsolete
parts at a reasonable cost. Best of all it's American technology. It's 
not
so much a new idea just a cheaper way to arrive at the same end 
point.
