So I measured the up and down travel and its very close to 4". I am going to retrace the original slots and see if I can get a better scan.
This has turned into a lot more work than I anticipated. (I always say that) 
I am going to watch the Video a few more times and see if I can figure out how to make that slot smaller.
I will have to slow it down so I can follow along.
Thanks for all your help!

Ok so i traced this again and Scanned it and it looks much better.
I attacehd the file this is where I am at after a hour. you drew the whole bucket in 30 misn and had a working model. If only I could have tin man skills!
Anyways see what you think of my progress.
My goal is to make a piece I can weld to the inside of the existing part, if that makes sense.

You can and so can anyone else. Just like anything somebody learns, it’s all about quality time spent doing it.
Put in the time, reap the reward
Trying to solve hundreds of other people’s issues on here has definitely helped me hone my skills over the last few years.

Well I know my abilities well enough, that I could spend every waking hour for two years and not get to your Level.
Just except it, you are not average when it comes to Fusion, no matter how you want to twist it.

Ok Again thank you for doing this.
To answer your question on my sketch lines being off from my pencil lines, that is to allow me some room to weld. I will post pictures when done.
I learned some more from that video, now retaining it… well will see how that goes.

You’re welcome
Looks Perfect, you did a great job with it.
When you did that scan did you put a ruler on it and scale off that? Using calibrate in Fusion 360?

No I just measured of the drawing I made. I remember you talking about that, but forgot to try it.
First time I drew it on a piece of paper and then took a picture. Thanks to you I learned to scan the drawing which works 10 times better

Very nice! I was familiar with templates but have not used them yet.
In my mind, I create some of the same settings but by using templates I could let some of my gray matter get a break.
As always, the time you take to explain these settings helping to make more sense out of the work flow, is much appreciated!
(Note: I have had the same issue dragging the tool path and not seeing the blue indicator!!! Weird.)

This time we create some replacement BBQ parts for a friend.
We will run through the entire procedure of turning these photos, notes and diagrams to G-code using Autodesk Fusion.
3x grill pieces made from 1/4" plate to replace the stamped metal ones.
1x bracket make from 14 ga stainless steel.
Will aim to get started at 630pm PST April 18 2024.
Live Streaming on Twitch and Youtube
and this time I’ll also be on the Langmuir Discord Channel under Twitch Live stream during the stream.
It should be a easy going straight forward and practical project.
Edit: I forgot I have to help my kid build her school egg drop contest thing tonight so we’ll have to postpone the live stream till tomorrow night. April 18

This time we will do a Fusion video but this will be for a 3D printed clay stamp instead of plasma cutting.
We will go through the whole process of taking a couple pictures of a clay stamp impression, designing a tool to create that stamp, export the design to Bambu studios and 3D printing it.
Here is a example of a stamp like this I have made before.
will start a 5:30am+/- pst this morning.
I’ll also be in the discord channel.

And it ended.
Voice audio was fine, music was too loud. Maybe kill music when you start?
