For those that may be interested. I have a couple of CNC desktop routers. One has a capacity of 6"x4", and the other 8"x6"... Its not much but for model aircraft/boat formers/bulkheads, ribs etc it's not bad. I recently use them for making some 3D foam masters ready for casting parts for a live steam loco (garden railway stuff). Add to this a vinyl cutter, it gets used for sign work, but can also be used for scoring acetate...Nice accurate windows. I used the vinyl cutter recently to make card, boat models for a company selling full size canal boats.

I am trying to get my business going, selling these services, and would like to develop a line of kits in the parkfly size. Less than 40" span, maybe some boat and garden railway stuff as well. Really open to suggestions, or ideas. The CAD and graphics systems I use are Rhino (CAD) and Coreldraw, for graphics and 2D routing.

Joules,

what you need now is a device for making rivet heads. I am sure that would be popular.

Funny you should say that, I have an injection moulder in my workshop, it would be able to make thousands if I can get the knackered pressure guage fixed. You may be better just applying rivets using a syringe of doming glue.

As long as you are not looking for any rubber hammers, The last one just bounced out the door

I have no idea where you would buy them other than a tool merchant. You could always make them. Buy in silversteel, cut them to size, drill and mount a handle. Maybe too much work for you, but it's sure a cheap way to make lots of hammers for little money.

As mentioned, whats if for???
