...in solidworks. ^_^

drew this up for a school project tonight. I'll end up actually machining something similar, but w/o a lot of the fillets.

I thought it turned out pretty good!

Sorry about the lack of bolt threads, too lazy.

Nice. I think our company is starting to go away from Solid Works, and just use basic Microstation as our main program. Not quite sure why, because Microstation is 2D. Maybe just takes more time to do it in Solidworks?

Your Floppy Rod is hot.

Too lazy for holes? Come on Joe, the Hole Wizard could have taken care of those in 60 seconds.

Hmm, not I beam or H beam? They look like they would be pretty heavy. Pretty sweet though!
