[CNC] CNC from sketch to part the way I do it

[jumps4]

It has been a while since I have done any drawing in here so I took the time to record making a part for an old steam engine project I haven't worked on in about 4 years. I'd like to get this thing done and out of my shop but I burn out working on it from time to time. I probably first began this project 8 years ago.
this first video shows what the part will be and how I designed it.
thanks for viewing

this is a photograph of the finished shaft coupling installed. I may rough it up a little to look like a cast part.

I haven't given up here I'm just trying to get my model done and out of my shop. it has been 6 years off and on. I would put it aside until my skills got better then start working on it again. I'm finally ready to finish it. Since I plan On giving it to the town where the mill is located I'm hoping to get locals there to donate a Glass enclosure and cabinet.

Something happened today I thought I would share with the group, in my e-mail I received a nice compliment and invitation From Emachineshop.com. They are asking others and myself who have made videos about Emachineshop on YouTube to assist them with short videos In their monthly Newsletter. I guess my videos weren't as boring as I thought.
That is really nice of them to ask me and I'll post my reply after I have spoken to them about what is involved.

It's awesome that the software company wants you to do a short tutorial on their product! I need to go to the Youtube channel and check out the videos. I know you explained the modeling process better than I found anywhere else. This thread is what kept my interest in my little CNC conversion and helped the project progress. I was lost once I got ready to model until your thread.

Thank you from a CNC/CAD newbie!
