My new project

March 27th, 2008 Randy No comments

The other day, the sun was shining, the birds were singing their melodious love-songs, the still-bare trees were swaying in a southerly spring breeze, the world was waiting for me to do something outdoors-y and manly (like grill a steak…on a gas grill…with an apron on), and I was sitting at work staring at my computer screen. The hours droned by and everyone walked with a leaden gait. All was right with the world except work: same-stuff-new-day work.
Then, a ray of hope came shining into the corner of my dusty cubicle. The boss walked by and said he had a new crankshaft for me to model up! After my experience making a 3D model of a ’60’s-era Porsche 911 crankshaft, I was really excited to get to make another one. So, we walked out to the shipping area and found a big, 12-cylinder Ferrari crankshaft in a wooden shipping crate. This crankshaft is from an older Ferrari (but who cares) and the owner pretty much destroyed one of the rod journals. Anyway, I thought I would post some pictures of this crankshaft just because it’s really cool to say that I worked on remaking a Ferrari crankshaft.
