Prototype Model

Its been a while since my last blog so here is an update.

The model will take the form shown in the previous post's pictures. For a first attempt i have used modeling foam to create a rough shape and handle grip.

 To do this I have cut the foam into squares, glued them together using PVA and then allowed them to dry under pressure, after that i have cut the block into a simple barrel and cut away one end to form a peg/block in order to be able to mount the foam into the lathe

I then used the standard lathe woodworking tools to form a rounded shape. The next step is to cut a wedge out of the face at about 45-55 degrees. This will then become the face that holds the 3 beam emitters for the device.
