Drawings of some tools...

[-=Drifter=-]

When my last computer died and I bought a different one, I was determined to see what was/is inside a harddrive. It was NOT easy opening that lil' sucker! No screws - mostly strong strong rivets. So I smashed with a hammer, filed with files, and grinded with my drill grinding attachments.

I finally got it open. The bottom of it is a circuit board - not very interesting to look at.

But the top... I found that much more interesting to look at.

So here is a picture I just finished drawing of a tool we are all right now using - a harddrive.

Marvellous Bob no wonder this is the top thread of the moment, the casing is so real, the tracker arm superb and its accompanying head as well. By the way, after you knocked it to bits did you get it working again?

ah, no... actually with a little more dismantling i may just end up with a bunch of deadly frisbees...
hahahahahahahahahaha

Bob,
It's obvious you're becoming more and more comfortable and familiar with Xara. The drawings you've displayed on just this thread, IMHO, show a gradual progression. Very nice work.

Very Well Done!! Looks very much like some I have had the pleasure of ~~distroying~~

When you work with those things all day and night you sometimes need to release some frustration on them

Be careful if you decide to make your deadly frisbee, those things have some weight that leaves an impression when it hits something.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments. Right now I'm working on something I thought would take a couple of hours and it's been TWO DAYS so far - and it's such a simple thing.

I've really enjoyed "Tool Time" with Xara Xtreme. I'm surprised at the number of people that have responded to this topic.

I guess I'll have to make a contribution myself.
