Not done much lately. But I have made a start on a fuel tank. Turned the main body and ends which is a cylinder at the moment need to make a filler cap and fuel cut off outlet.
Tank sitting on two blocks which will become the supports
The supports cut from a larger piece which had some holes luckily the hole shown is machined out
Here I had machined out the bulk of what was not needed ready for some shaping.
After machining the curved section, they are now a lot shorter but still leaving enough room for an outlet from the tank.
By machining them instead of using solid blocks makes for fixing to base and tank a lot easier as well as lightening the appearance of them.
A test fit of one of the supports, not sure which will look better, the foot facing in or out. Facing in would give a little more room for the outlet if I need to work on it when it is complete.
