THE LEGS Part II
From my research and plans, I'd determined I needed the following gauges of aluminum to make the main leg parts.
Blocks and Sheets:
1/8 - Leg Tension
3/16 - Hip Plates, Lower Foot Caps and Lower Foot Bases and Toes
1/4 - Upper and Lower Legs
3/8 - Horse Shoes, Ankles
1mm - Fly Wheels, Upper Foot Bases
2mm - Caps, Brackets and Panels
I got the main blocks cut for me by my local supplier. These blocks consist of 3/16, 1/4 and 3/8 gauges.
Next were the Caps, Brackets, Panels, Leg Tensions and Horse Shoes. Along with the Fly Wheels and Toes.
Then, the task of cutting them down to a manageable level was required, so it'll be easier for milling.
I started with the less difficult parts by simply using a coarse file.
An assortment of aluminum rods were needed for the Joints, Pins, Caps and Foot parts.
On the left, are parts for the Body_Hip Joints and the right, the Lower Foot Chamber.
NEXT, let's start making legs.
