shelly0312 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 ....are you thinking reed pans; face fretwork; buttons, even reed shoes? probably not effective for bellows and reeds....snicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDNICKILBY Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 This is just some silly student project. The chances of it getting off the ground are probably zilch. There are plenty of REAL machines on the market that will work well and produce good results. The old adage of "Don't send a boy on a mans errand" comes to mind. C N C is a great way forward on Concertina production as it removes the tedious drudgery of repitition work. I am not averse to making the odd Concertina End on one of our C N C Machining Centres. Quite spectacular to see a 4500 kg machine with a 60 thou cutter in the holder, and great to come in in the morning to find that you have a new pair of ends that have been made whilst you were asleep. This is with all the holes and fretwork ,and a perfect finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimLucas Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 ....snicker An inadvertent pun? In Swedish, "snickeri" is the English carpentry or joinery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLDNICKILBY Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 No Mike, he has got a grant from a fund set up by Dyson. This is quite different.I probably see at least 2 or 3 graduate projects every month and I am struggling to remember one that has got off the starting blocks. Or at least got as far as a second production run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
