Customer Appreciation Give Away Part 4-CAD TIME

[greatlakeswaterjet]

Well its that time again. This time lets do it a little different. Since quite a few have the CAD program now, submit your CAD drawing to me and I will pick a number like before. The lucky winner get their knife made. It can be a fixed blade, folder, or anything (except a 10 foot sword or something silly). Choice of materials will be ATS-34, any tool steel, 154CM, CPM3V or S30V. If it gets liners or frames, they can be stainless or Ti. Pocket clips and spacers included if needed. This will be a complete knife. Oh, I can cut G-10 if needed too. No ones files will be shared or shown unless you want to. If you need help with the CAD, just let me know. Once again, thanks to everyone for your continued support! Alright guys and gals, let see some creative designs!

Very Cool!

 

[Jim Rehrer]

What if we dont have the CAD program yet?

 

[greatlakeswaterjet]

Jim, heres the link to the CAD. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=579529
I'll e-mail you the word. I will run this give away for at least a month so everyone has time to do some designing.

 

[SteelSlaver]

Very generous thanks. Now figuring out how to make a virtual knife. Jim

 

[Larry Hensley]

I am in this is Great!

Images sent dont laugh at them.

 

[greatlakeswaterjet]

Larry out of the gate! Several good looking designs. If anyone would like their design shown as a pic on here, let me know and I will raster the image and post it.

 

[TekSec]

You can render mine and post it. I have no problem with critiques!

 

[Kryoclasm]

Same here.

 

[greatlakeswaterjet]

Lots of good looking designs coming in!:thumbup:

 

[Munky88]

are we allowed to submit more than one? very cool.

Also, if its a folder what are we allowed to do with the locking mechanism? I have some of my own ideas, but they're a little complex to make.

 

[greatlakeswaterjet]

As many as you want. Compared to what I just finished running yesterday, it can't be more complex. Each design I cut for this customer had 7 different parts and 4 different materials. You can do anything you want. Thats the idea of this. Get creative.

 

[greatlakeswaterjet]

Heres the first one by kryoclasm Nice!

 

[Jared Stenoien]

Here's my entry, The top pic is a 3d render I did for the heck of it and I never realized doing a grind would be such a pain. The second one shows the handle/bolster. For the handle I have a large piece of jade counter top that I would have to mail you a piece of, and the bolster I'd like either blued steel like shown or wrought iron.

 

[Jared Stenoien]

Did anyone else enter?

 

[SteelSlaver]

Still trying to get so I can really run the program. LOL

 

[greatlakeswaterjet]

Theres been several entries. I will run this contest for a while so people can get good on the CAD.
