0:00
hi it's Ray from Pro shaping Workshop in
0:02
Charlton Massachusetts we're working on
0:05
the AI Alpha design I got uh super
0:08
Apprentice Charlie from Michigan here
0:10
he's helping out he's going to be here
0:11
for a couple more weeks is a long stay
0:14
he's learning a ton of stuff and uh
0:17
we've been thinking about this AI
0:20
progress what so we've done so far and
0:23
uh this is a new technique that I'm
0:25
using using that Center board or or
0:28
Center structure and uh I had a a new
0:33
thought when we finished up the last
0:35
episode uh I did mention that we're
0:38
going to clone this side and probably
0:40
have Mark copy every one of these lines
0:43
in cardboard make a new wire and we'll
0:45
have it over the other side but what we
0:47
don't have from the picture is the
0:49
actual width of the car and a lot of
0:51
cars overhead view I've mentioned this
0:54
before they taper in towards the front
0:56
and taper in towards the back they're
0:58
fatter in the middle that gives a little
1:00
more passenger uh room in the cockpit so
1:04
we have that option because this will
1:06
bend really easy but what I want to do I
1:09
think is do all of that but we'll take
1:13
this structure out and we won't make any
1:16
connecting lines to the center because
1:20
that will limit our ability to figure
1:22
out what width we're going to use we'll
1:24
be able to put the alpha transaxle in in
1:28
place the alpha front end assembly in
1:31
place and also the Alpha motor and we've
1:34
got Mr adjustable we'll make a seat
1:37
maybe or something we'll just try to
1:39
make it uh all the the variables working
1:43
before we commit to connecting to those
1:47
Center wires we can bring that Center
1:49
wire in easily later on but we need to
1:52
Define exactly what the width of the
1:54
automobile is we're not at that stage
1:57
right now right now Charlie and I are
1:59
going to fill some more in I'm going to
2:02
put some wires in here to fill this
2:05
front fender in and Charlie's going to
2:06
be working on the rear fender and uh all
2:10
what I just described will happen
2:12
probably in episode 10 or 11 or
2:15
something like that so but as we add
2:18
these wires the 3D look becomes more
2:22
apparent and it gets a little more
2:24
exciting so now we're going to bend some
2:26
wires and we'll weld them
2:28
in e
3:08
all right uh we put a couple of these in
3:12
um no one one in we're going to put two
3:14
more in here and we want to check
3:18
the the line here to make sure we're
3:21
all in line nicely this has a Little
3:25
Rock to it but this has got a curve so
3:27
it's supposed to have a rock there and
3:30
that's flowing pretty good this one is
3:32
no good we checked that and um that's
3:35
out of whack so you can see I think like
3:39
right there we put it like that and that
3:42
it's got a pretty big gap and Charlie
3:44
can you hold that right there the
3:46
giveaway is if you have to push in and
3:50
this is the wrong tool we need that wire
3:53
really I got it right here so they're
3:55
all touching but it's not touching on
3:57
this one and often times that'll happen
4:00
but if you push this in it goes negative
4:04
that's an error so anytime it goes
4:06
negative like that no good so that one
4:10
has to come out and it'll have to be
4:12
able to hit this 316 wire sometimes you
4:15
use the 8 in if you're going to be
4:16
making a stronger curve and then if it's
4:19
a mild curve the 316 in will work really
4:23
good so we got to cut this one out we
4:26
need two more in
4:28
here and
4:30
uh Charlie can start doing this rear
4:36
door opening right here going to put
4:39
that in if you have to do it in pieces
4:41
that's okay we can weld them together so
4:44
the door opening will come down and then
4:47
over like this and up and then over like
4:50
that we'll make that our goal to put
4:53
that door opening in two of these and
4:56
that change that one out and then we got
4:59
pretty much the side except for the
5:01
bottom of the front fender and the front
5:04
section of the rear fender and the back
5:06
section of the rear fender but
5:09
everything else will be pretty much
5:11
completed so I'm trying to get the
5:12
curvature on the door as it comes out
5:15
right behind the right in front of the
5:16
rear fender there and swoops down a
5:18
little bit and CS out follows the rest
5:20
of the path of the
5:22
door with the body line are you just
5:25
making them identical
5:27
huh uh yeah the bends down on the bottom
5:30
it be the same and uh but the heights
5:33
are all different what do you think of
5:34
this line Mark instead of going in for
5:38
that we can keep our
5:39
hump I think that looks right what it's
5:42
cutting that one out or yeah I think
5:44
that this is wrong how it bends in like
5:46
that yeah I think what we need to do is
5:48
it needs to come to like a little s with
5:50
a hump so we can follow this down still
5:52
and then come into here it's like weird
5:54
little pocket there yeah it's a
5:56
difficult little intersection
6:00
maybe maybe bring the door piece the
6:02
door line down first and see where it
6:04
see see where it comes to
6:14
yeah yeah it's pretty
6:17
close I think I'm a
6:19
little premature though I got to bended
6:23
further down okay
6:36
so I got to come down no maybe not cuz
6:40
when I get in there it looks looks
6:42
pretty
6:45
good I got cut some of this off you
6:50
know well that piece is gone and this
6:53
piece is going in we're going to replace
6:54
it with something with a positive curve
6:56
coming from the negatives I think that
6:57
flows a lot more nicely with the
7:00
they give it this flow the door coming
7:02
in into the door look at it yeah you can
7:05
tell it fattens up it like it goes
7:08
pretty smooth and then right at that
7:10
rear fender it's like a hip just comes
7:13
right out that may be a little
7:15
aggressive I should probably make this
7:17
door bar like an inch or so longer so it
7:19
extrudes past so we can build something
7:21
to connect the frame
7:23
to uh well it's going to go beyond this
7:25
wire that's what I was thinking yeah
7:27
we'll probably have something come
7:28
Beyond it so like oh like no so no you
7:31
can go right to the wire right and then
7:33
we can just build off of it yeah yeah
7:35
just go that way that'll be good then
7:37
it's going to be going like this like it
7:38
would go in and then up yeah right got
7:41
like the up kind of started a little bit
7:43
but it would go more so oh okay yeah
7:46
there's a little joggle there I decided
7:49
to put one more station here one more
7:52
wire uh that's a nice spacing there
7:55
now um and then get that in and then
7:58
we'll change that out Charlie's still
8:00
working on that back door line Charlie's
8:04
trying to figure out how that flow
8:06
surface flow goes right with the door in
8:07
the rear fender meet and uh it's very
8:12
difficult to see the picture is really
8:14
kind of shaded and dark there in the
8:16
picture uh this is where if you foamed
8:19
it or clayed it you can see how it's
8:22
supposed to go but we're not going to
8:24
take uh that we're not going to do those
8:26
possibilities so we're going to just
8:28
have to dope it up out the best we can
8:32
and uh it might be five iterations
8:34
before we get it right over here it's no
8:36
big deal to put a wire in then cut it
8:38
out put a wire in cut it out it's not an
8:41
issue I think it looks better when it's
8:44
following that
8:45
curve our expenditures so far at
8:49
time uh with this is episode 8 and uh I
8:53
think Mark will be putting this up what
8:55
Friday Friday afternoon or evening and
8:59
uh we're under I think $200 total
9:02
expenditure as far as for materials go
9:06
and uh Char's been helping out in the
9:08
last couple episodes and we probably
9:11
have a collective 15 hours of time maybe
9:14
20 hours total so it it's not it's not a
9:19
huge uh expense of any any type at all
9:23
um making the wireform is is a labor
9:26
proposition mostly it's it's the most
9:28
important part because it's all of the
9:31
measurement of the body and uh the body
9:34
is the outer capsule or or skin uh
9:38
clothing or in covering all the
9:41
components and it's got to be aesthetic
9:43
and it's got to be functional and it's
9:45
got to be dimensionally and
9:46
proportionally correct so that's what
9:49
the process is that's where the art is
9:52
that's where the juice of this job is
9:54
and the fun of it and if you started
9:57
doing it yourself in your own sh work
9:59
shop you're going to you're going to see
10:01
the problems that you encounter and
10:03
they're they're all easy to solve
10:05
problems there's nothing that's uh
10:08
insurmountable and a great thing is
10:11
having a second opinion sometimes second
10:14
opinions are pretty cive they they say
10:16
just snide remarks or whatever but uh
10:19
maybe your wife will come in and say oh
10:21
it looks pretty good but and she might
10:23
see something that you don't see or your
10:25
friend comes over and sees something you
10:27
don't see so you have to live with it
10:31
and um there's no rush here at all we
10:33
want to make this as best we can if we
10:36
find out after we we look at this and
10:39
the rear fender is a little too big or
10:40
something we'll just cut it off and make
10:42
a new rear fender that's all it's very
10:44
simple just going for a very slight
10:47
curve slight
10:52
radius trying to
10:54
match my drawing may not be right either
10:58
I think this looks better
11:00
what do you think little more curve are
11:03
break but I think we're going to be
11:05
doing one more I think
11:07
we're differ between the two yep and
11:11
like a
11:13
yep let's see let's work that out so
11:16
Mark said we're going to split the
11:18
difference so we're going to split the
11:21
difference I think you're
11:24
right I think that's a SE she line
11:43
I think that was pretty good word by you
11:45
try that all right so this wire is is
11:48
way in so we got to adjust this wire
11:51
we're going to make a new wire we'll
11:52
make a new wire adjacent to it and I'm
11:56
capturing that curve and it needs to
11:59
come out a little bit more here
12:04
so we'll start with something like that
12:07
I believe that might
12:10
be more
12:13
[Music]
12:27
appropriate well we bent these last time
12:30
or maybe two times ago to the viewers
12:32
I'm not sure exactly but need to kind of
12:35
figure out how we're going to end this
12:36
rear wheel hard and bring it in that way
12:38
I can follow that profile for the
12:40
door so I was thinking I might put a
12:43
little more Bend into there cuz it needs
12:44
to come up to about
12:48
here so I'm going to bring this up a
12:50
couple inches or this in maybe to get
12:53
rid of the adjustable clamp here because
12:55
we've got it where we want it uh I just
12:57
put a little tack on those stocks
12:59
those are going to be replaced with a a
13:01
much stronger
13:03
stock uh 3/4 tubing probably 3/4 Square
13:10
Tubing all right so I got a nush off
13:13
here I get that in there so I'm trying
13:17
to figure out the back of the rear door
13:19
opening so far I have this top bar that
13:21
comes up to the top frame of the cell
13:23
into the window but now I'm trying to
13:24
figure out this bottom corner which is
13:26
going have to go down curve in slightly
13:28
and then follow that Contour
13:31
around so essentially the back edge of
13:34
the door is got to flare out yeah that's
13:36
what I'm thinking yeah and so I'm going
13:39
to follow this flare down and then curve
13:42
it up okay how we like thinking it's
13:45
going to be about this
13:47
High to from the rendering oh the bottom
13:51
of the door yeah it looks like it comes
13:52
just underneath the center of the wheel
13:54
okay I like that yeah so I'm thinking
13:56
I'm going to put it right in here yeah
14:02
the follow this
14:04
Contour I uh put the corrected wire in
14:09
going to cut this one out now these are
14:11
going to need a little adjustment I put
14:13
those in but I'm not going to touch them
14:14
yet I'm going to put one more here and
14:17
I'll have all my tasks done except for
14:20
the front edge I don't know if I'm going
14:22
to be able to get that tonight uh
14:24
Charlie will establish the bottom uh of
14:27
the door and that'll come over and then
14:30
come around like this and then go
14:32
over uh that might be the next episode
14:35
so right now I want to try to cut this
14:38
out and put one more station in here the
14:42
doors are interesting cuz they're like
14:44
on a three
14:45
AIS like as far as like we're having to
14:47
come down and then follow that opposed
14:49
the rest of the lines are more 2D yeah
14:52
it's easy if you fing it yeah or claying
14:55
it very easy just carve it out and if
14:57
you carve too much add more back yeah
14:59
yeah you got to add subtract we have add
15:00
subtract medium too because we just cut
15:03
the wire out and put a new wire in
15:05
pretty simple yeah I think that's a
15:07
third rendition that it took to get here
15:09
and maybe 20 minutes 30 minutes worth of
15:12
time bending cutting changing thinking
15:14
drawing
15:45
it's
15:48
coming we should probably put another
15:50
one in the door there
15:57
too one right here
16:03
I'll wait till the Finish yeah I'm
16:05
having a hard time with this one yeah
16:08
interesting all right why don't why
16:10
don't you do this um let's establish the
16:14
bottom right here for the door okay
16:16
let's get that
16:18
in and I'll play with that one later
16:22
yeah let's see strange
16:25
indeed the CH is having a little bit of
16:29
a problem solving that uh very difficult
16:32
little corner over there at the end of
16:34
the back edge of the door and with the
16:36
front edge of the fender me the rear
16:38
fender um so that could be an hour of
16:43
consultation here between him and I and
16:46
uh I got my task accomplished except for
16:51
this Leading Edge of the door I think
16:53
I'm going to hold that over to episode 9
16:56
between uh this episode episode 8 and
17:00
episode 9 we'll fine-tune some of these
17:03
wires off camera and uh episode 9 will
17:07
make our goal to get that door all
17:10
defined we we'll work on that problem
17:13
that's a difficult problem the rest of
17:15
it has so far been pretty simple it's
17:18
just there's a bunch of reverses there
17:21
and it's a lot of sculptural flow on the
17:24
surfaces and uh it's going to take some
17:27
uh uh s about it and many attempts to to
17:30
get it just right so I think we're going
17:32
to cut it right here uh this is episode
17:35
8 of building the AI Alpha tell all your
17:38
friends see if you can share it on
17:41
Facebook Instagram wherever and it's Ray
17:44
from Pro shaper Workshop in charlon
17:46
Massachusetts and Charlie from Michigan
17:48
he's the super apprentice and he keeps
17:51
getting better this is like his six trip
17:53
here and uh watch CH in the future he's
17:56
going to be a great shaper and fabric
17:59
thank thanks for watching
