Making ribs (PK, Have you seen video this yet?)

Post by captain_john »

All we have to do is place an order from "the list".

I suppose we COULD hammer them out like this!

This is a Hummelbird but PK is doing a Bearhawk and it is the same drill!

We are truly spoiled!

...and I like it!

It's all over but the flying! 800+ hours in only 3 years!

gosh, that doesn't look so bad. That guy finished that rib in about 3 minutes. He does have fast hands though!

Funny, when I imagine some task ahead of me, it looks like that video ... and in real life, well, it takes a bit longer.

Yeah, if I worked that fast, there's NO WAY it would turn out that good! :wink:

Seriously nice work in the video. He said 30 hours to do all those...seems like it would take a lot longer than that. :o

yup very similar. I did the fluting out of the block, but the way he has it set up is pretty slick.

I like the sped up video effect. The music not so much. I would have rather heard his commentary on the process throughout.

The fluting with the screwdriver was really a GREAT idea!!!

I always wondered how they get those really deep flutes in there!

Pretty cool!
