He's using Google SketchUp to draw it up and then he's passing his drawings on to me and I'm drawing it up in Solid Edge 2D. Once we are done with the drawings, they will be available in DWG, DXF, native Solid Edge, and likely PDF versions, in both imperial and metric. It's a hell of a lot more work than I expected.  Here's a link to Gerard's web site. http://home.scarlet.be/mini-draaien-frez...ct-11.html Ed

My only reaction to that is WOW!!! Incredible workmanship.
Before I found the Logan I had aspirations of building one but it never would have looked like that. WOW
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

It would be one hell of a cool project, if not expensive, but it may be the only way I can own a shaper. I could build it a piece at a time. Ed

Gives me inspiration to consider the repair/replacement of some of the broken parts of my 7" Shape-Rite.
Once I get a few priorities out of the way.

Hello Guys
Thank you for your kind and encouraging words.  I initially started with making Gingery shaper but the casting of aluminum parts was a disaster. So I started making a shaper in steel (mostly scrap material). When I've finished this machine I will put all my drawings (metric) and the drawings that Ed has made in inches on my website. Here I will also describe how certain parts can be made with simple tools. Enjoy your hobby Gerard Thanks given by: aametalmaster , Mayhem , EdK
