    Gunsmithing Any Solidworks CAD guys here?

    Re: Any Solidworks CAD guys here? Thanks all- Looking at the Alibre it seems EXACTLY what I had in mind except that I don't have the background to know how much utility a STL output has (or doesn't have) relative to the aformentioned STEP/IGES. If I find myself with a perfect 3D CAD model...

    Gunsmithing Any Solidworks CAD guys here?

    Gunsmithing homemade paint oven (more pics added)

    Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) Thanks TxAg. I used pretty light guage steel and was able to break and bend them using my fingers and pliers- I did use a pair of welding vise-grips with a long gripping face that basically functioned like a vise would, but it really wasn't necessary...

    Re: homemade paint oven (more pics added) No real need at all for a window (and the subsequent oven light) other than my own O-C-D compulsion to watch what's going on in there and make sure it's not having some kind of meltdown or malfunction. It's a waste of time, effort, money, and it...
