pic: Upcoming CAD Teaser

[JVN]

I agree with Andy's points. It is great to such enthusiasm for mechanical design. Practice makes perfect, and each design you do will help you improve as a designer.

Design is after-all, an iterative process...

My only criticism of your posting is that I am not a huge fan of teasers; there is no need to build hype for an off-season project. (There are also some teasers during the 6-weeks which I feel are inappropriate, but that is another discussion.)

Please post your entire mechanism so we can admire your work, but I would hope you can stay away from posting single ambiguous chunks of your design.

I'm not saying you need to stop posting teasers, I'm just saying they won't pique my interest like a full mechanism design would. I imagine others feel the same way.

Keep up the good work.

Regards,
John

I appreciate so much attention to my work, it certainly has gotten a lot of feedback.
I think it would be rather cool to start my own thread "gallery" of my CAD work, to keep it organized and lessen the spam on CD media. If anybody knows an appropriate place to do this, please give me a heads up
I take ideas very seriously, and I can definitely see where Travis is coming from. I would be rather disappointed to see some of my ideas given praise if credited to another person. I have taken steps to ensure credit is given, but to be sure, I will go back and edit, restate, and emphasize the original designers of the components I have CADed.
Andy is right, I would not know what I know now if it were not for the inspirational and innovative designs of the great teams out there. I cannot thank them enough for serving as such a great model of engineering and design. Imitation is supposedly the best form of flattery after all.

Now, if you excuse me, I have some work to do...
