Draughtsman wanted

Post by ROB THOMASSON »

We are trying to get drawings made from an existing crankshaft and a limited amount of original information from the manuals The laser scanning idea looks very expensive. So any retired techies out there want to fund their project by helping us out send me a PM. Autocad or Turnocad will be fine but we need someone who knows what they are doing.

Hi, im pretty handy with CAD, if you have the dimensions I can rustle up a comprehensive drawing including machining & hardening notations as required. However! in two days I leave for a two months travelling & work, so the earliest I can start is Feb 1.

Autocad,
That was very rapid learning curve I've had it for years and still struggle there are so many things to know and remember I will die of old age first.
