Like I used to tell my students when I taught auto mechanics- - - - - -"It takes a smart student to get the instructor to do all the work"! I throw out ideas on this forum, and even assist with some of the technical stuff, but it's up to younger guys to jump into action and get the work done. After 60-something years in the automotive business, I've become the crochety old geezer sitting by the stove and making snide remarks while the young sprouts get busy! Cardboard for pattern material, an X-Acto knife and a pair of scissors, and an angle grinder and a good set of files work as well, or sometimes better than CNC equipment!
LOL!
