[QUOTE="rockmike, post: 1413885, member: 16492"] So I decided to work with uhmw.never used it before...this stuff is cool! I cut it with wood cutting tools but yet fab with like metal! Flap wheels work great on it..amazing stuff! First I went off some templates I had made along time ago out of some plywood.Then had to do up templates out of cardboard for the other ones. This is the first boat side skid,I cut a groove in it with a router to acept some led rope lights for rock lights. [IMG]http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n233/detloff/zukibild295.jpg[/IMG] I used those zip ties laid them in there in such a way that the lights will be recessed in there about 1/16" just flipped it arouind clamped it and glued them in there with some silicone. [IMG]http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n233/detloff/zukibild297.jpg[/IMG] That was my only template so now on to cardboard. [IMG]http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n233/detloff/zukibild300.jpg[/IMG] set up for the router thing. [IMG]http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n233/detloff/zukibild301.jpg[/IMG] Then another for the back piece of the boat sides. [IMG]http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n233/detloff/zukibild302.jpg[/IMG] I just ran a 1/4" router bit down the backside of the panel and bend it by hand and walla I got a break in it! [IMG]http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n233/detloff/zukibild303.jpg[/IMG] This stuff is so cool to work with I make the cardboard 2 piece (where the break begins) then just transfer it over to the uhmw and scribe the line where the break needs to be. Use the router and a flap wheel to clearnce out the back side untill I get a nice snug fit. [IMG]http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n233/detloff/zukibild304.jpg[/IMG] led rope glued in there. [IMG]http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n233/detloff/zukibild305.jpg[/IMG] Now the hard part,this **** is heavy and slippery! It was a bitch holding up there to mark holes,then its drill them out,and tapp the threads...my arms are toast lol [IMG]http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n233/detloff/zukibild307.jpg[/IMG] More...
