Hello
First I must say congrats to the producers of this forum and its members, wow some of the projects on here are amazing.
I hire a workshop in macclesfield where I do all my hobby stuff, it started 3 years ago with a project to make carbon fiber coffe cups and my attempts kept failing one after the other, but I kept going and now I have collected lots of equipment to complete my first project (all composite gear, lathe & mill, heat cupboards, spray painting etc).
The cup still isnt finished but its very close, ive had to invent my own techniques to produce a shinny smooth finish on all sides, a perfectly captured CF fabric with No bubbles.
The engineering equipment comes in very handy with composites, I make my own brackets and screw components that I epoxy into the final products that I make for my superbike, it looks very clean and tidy.
Tonight I was working on my
Gyro Cam
project, its a shark fin that comes off the rear of the bike at 45 degrees, then a gyro/servo holds a carbon poll with a mini HD camera at the end of it. The images will show me riding the bike and where its going but the horrizon will remain flat even when I throw the bike left or right into turns. I can't wait to see what the images turn out like.
Im self taught with everything through forums and youtube, but id like to offer an open invitation to anyone who wishes to visit, it would be nice possible share a project for a change
Regards
