Default Hi From Sunshine Coast Queensland

Hi Everyone,

Dad was a woodwork and metalwork teacher. I am interested in aluminium car body shaping. Wanting to build a Buck for a practice model, from a die cast model.

My plan is to waterjet slice my die cast model and then scale up 2D Buck forms
I have no CAD experience, learning the products seems a bit overwhelming because of assumed conceptual precepts in the software... I get lost

I struggle with Information Technology due to some brittle comprehension issues short term memory is chronic.

So, we shall see if my hand skills compensate and I can make a buck then wireform my layup for foam carving... we shall see.

None the less, grateful to be able to join and read and learn.. thank you for your patience in advance..

Invention is a combination of brains and materials.
The more brains you use, the less materials you need.
