Work for boatbuilding project | | Guys,
I am about to embark on a boat building project.
I wanted to see if there was any interest in doing some work for what will become 'First Light'.
The job will entail 2 asix CNC routing 4' x 8' sheets of composite sandwich consisting of either honeycomb/fiberglass/epoxy or balsa/fiberglass/epoxy. Will be about 3/4" thick. I imagine there wil be between 15-20 sheets once things are all nested up. I imagine about 7-8 hours of machine time and whatever amount of time for programming and so forth..
Addtiionally, there are two rudders that will need 3 axis contouring. They are rectangular and are 10 feet long but can be routed in two set-ups. The profile is symmetrical along the entrie length of the blade.
I'm really looking for someone to work with here and not simply throw drawings out for quote.
My ideal world would have the person in the Northeast with experience routing composite materials. I have quite a bit of information from cutter companies on feeds, speeds and cutters for the materials I've got.
Several parts will also need to be made on two sheets since will not fit into the 4' x 8' envelope.
Any interest, please let me know...
I've gotten quite a bit out of this site for my mill and lathe and was hoping to try and keep it in the family..
I've got the foam for the rudder and am looking to do the 3 axis profiling asap. The rest of the work will be in about 6-8 weeks.
Cheers,
Tony |
