A job for CNC ?

[RogerS]

Hi guys

LOML would like me to make one of these for her.

I'm not too phased about much of it but where I'd like some help/advice/someone with CNC ? are the roof 'trusses'. We had a similar building at our last place and they were made from several pieces of plywood arranged as an inverted T and curved. The 'side-arms' of the inverted T then had plywood panels inserted which formed the base for the roofing (lead). These will also be a rather obscure shape.

So I was wondering if anyone out there with a CNC machine could help (paid for, naturally) ?

TIA

You wouldn't necessarily need a CNC. If you created a template of the shape you could produce the laminations of the trusses with standard tools.

Chris Smith entertained us all and showed us exactly how to make one of those here:

Seeing the amount of work involved, I think a sensible option would be to commission him to make another!

That's a very interesting link, thanks, Andy.

Bodgers ...yes, I know I could do that but I'm in the middle ..nay, at the beginning of a major house renovation..that I'd rather outsource this bit.
