Nick's Haunted House ramp
« on: August 13, 2009, 11:39:24 AM »
I offered to manufacture a HH ramp for Nick as his was missing from the project game he recently aquired, I had a look thought no probs, about 5 hours later  @.@ here is the result.

It came up fairly well, it would have been better if I had access to a lazer cutter as I had to drill each hole and drilling stainless is not very easy, I had to use cobolt drills which are a lot harder than normal drills.
I also used thicker stainless than original 1.6 as I couldn't find and 1-1.2mm thick, so I had to put a chanfer on the leading edge to allow the ball a smooth path onto the ramp.
Folding was a bitch, I only had access to an big old folder and once one side is folded the other side would not fit under the locking arm, so I had to pack out with packers, after a bit of cursing I found a way to get each angle folded

I have regrained the metal to get out marks from folding, if Nick wants to put in a little more elbow grease he can polish it up some more.

I just have to make the small bracket that the ramp slides into tonight then all finished

Thanks to your fantastic template Ian, I just returned from Nick's house, looks like it will be a great fit, maybe a little tweak on the angles but almost spot on  ^^^


Nick, sorry I couldn't stick around mate, missus had to go out at 5.30 so had to cut it short, gotta stay in the good books as I haven't been in em very much lately  @.@
We'll have to catch up for a few more games soon.  *%*
