So far….

  • Tooling, tooling and more tooling!

    Composites design is only half of the story - to build a soild composites component you have to delve into composites tooling. My workshop was filled with the stuff above, epoxy foam tooling-board ‘machine chip’

  • First off

    Not very impressed? Well I didn’t think so, but this was a monumental for me as it was the first go I had since coming to Australia and setting up ARNIER that I got to dealing with prepregs/vacuum bags/tacky tapes and all of that good stuff!

  • It needs a rest

    Into the oven it goes, not much I can do until it hardens and then we see what we have. Usually back to step 1 and repeat..

  • Aluminium tooling…

    Once we had the tooling design pretty much there, I decided to go for an aluminium tool - much harder wearing but a lot more expensive

  • Looks good

    Apart from getting the internal bits sorted, this component looks good from the outside!

  • On my bike!!

    Now on to testing……
