Should we keep Rivera for another Season?
Posted 23 November 2012 - 09:43 PM
Posted 23 November 2012 - 10:09 PM
we should be hiring an established coach. the team cannot afford to spend another couple years hoping that another assistant coach without any HC experience can make the jump to HC.Personally, I would rather Rivera stay. For two reasons. 1. I believe you have to give him time to succeed. 2. You are setting yourself up for a coaching go round.
Unless you hire and established coach, you are taking a chance. So imo you might as well give Rivera a chance to grow into the job.
this is a team that has gotten to a point that it has to win now. it can't afford another rebuild. it has to be able to hit the ground running without learning game and team management.
i don't buy into this "might as well keep rivera around" thing. he's here. might as well see what he's got. why? haven't we seen enough. i know i've seen enough to know that it wouldn't be hard to replace him and, as i said earlier, he hasn't really provided a convincing argument why a new GM who will probably be anxious to get this team headed in the right direction should stick with rivera. he's not winning. he's not getting the job done. he's taking much too long to learn and there's no guarantee that he will learn it.
move on. there's so little incentive to stay this course. it was advertised as something that is very aggressive and progressive, but overall when things get tough it just more of the same that we had with fox the last couple years he had control.
we just can't risk continuing that way. something needs to change. a new GM will likely see that a new HC will help him facilitate that change.
now if it appeared that the panthers were 100% on board with rivera and were completely sold on him and his program or had bought into it....maybe he could stay. if they had improved over last year...yes, he could probably stay. neither of those is the case.
Posted 23 November 2012 - 10:11 PM
True but in this case I'm doing a criticle thinking argument, I'm trying to get some people to consider a different point of view and have already stated as much in this thread.
Am I doing this because I believe we should keep Rivera? Nope never said we should keep him, just stated the case for keeping him.
This thread is more relevent for actual panther discussion then 99% of everything that's posted in here
Doc, you shot yourself in the foot with that statement, as well as starting this thread.

I think he's done a great jobs hiding the DB's for the most part,
Hes done a hell of a job hiding his running backs, I wish someone could find them
Posted 23 November 2012 - 10:33 PM
I know what you're thinking already "this guy is out of his mind" and sometimes you would be correct. but hear me out on this.
I'm arguing that the Coaches aren't the issue
First think what is wrong with the Panthers
2)Receiving options.
3)Running game
Unlike some in the National media I don't think Cam has had quite that bad of a season, now there have been a few games here and there but nothing outside of the Normal growing pains of a QB in the NFL.
The Offenses biggest issue this season have been the Offensive line, it wasn't playing great this season and then we went and lost our all-pro center Ryan Kalil, and since to say they have played badly would be an monumental understatement. they have been horrible in run blocking and almost just as bad in Pass blocking, I think if we had a less mobile QB you would understand better just how badly they have played this season. If you want to know why we have not had a running game this season, they are it.
Receiving Core: what do we have? Smith, while still decent isn't a #1 threat anymore, and LaFell is a solid #2 but not #1 material, the only receiver with any exceptional skills is TE Greg Olsen with his size which by itself creates miss matches with defenders. This is where loosing Shockey hurt us most. Our WR's are neither exceptionally speedy or big which makes it difficult for them to get separation, add to that the O-line plays like crap meaning less time for Cam Newton to pass means less time for an already limited Receiving core to get separation.
Running game, the reason the Panthers have focused on switching to Stewart over D-Will is because of the Oline, no push, no lanes, Williams has always been known for making players miss, not breaking Tackles and thats why Stewart the sole Starter now.
The realization of just how bad the Offensive line is becomes just that much more astounding when you realize that we have been trying to game plan around it pretty much since our by week. the Shotgun snaps, multiple pump fakes and attempts at miss direction have all been to give Newton more time and try and get our WR's open.
The best example I can think of for this is the Denver Game, the Reason why Olsen had a really good game was because he was the only one the entire time constantly getting open.
We have an emerging quality Defensive line, and a Solid LB'er core, the main issue is that our DB's are crap. what many have thought was the recent improvement by our Defensive backfield has been in large part due to Mr. Hardy and Mr. Johnson, two men that have been pulling more then their weight around here. a great pass rush in the DB's best friend and that's what has been going on here lately. there is only 1 DB that I would even Consider true NFL starter Quality playing right now and that's Charles Godfrey and even with that said he's middle of the road nothing special.
Special teams
the Special Teams coach was fired last week, and many here myself included think it was long over due. need I say more?
The Offense this year started out way to gimmicky and they for the most part put an end to that after the bye week.
Overall they have kept the offense manageable and the Defense has been on the up swing for a while now, only problem is our Horrible defensive backfield always tends to show up when we need it least at the end of games.
Here's my train of thought on this, the issues with the team are well known, and considering the issues with the Oline and DB's I think that our coaching have done a decent enough Job keeping us in games to win, it's not that far of a grasp to say that we shouldn't at least be sitting at 6-4 right now still in the playoff hunt with the easiest part of our schedule ahead of us. remember that Coaching can only go so far, and players still have to play the game.
And with that said outside of the Giants game I haven't really seen anything that I would say the Coaching staff just straight out blew or messed up. I think when you look at the team for what it is and not rose colored glasses you will see that.
I agree with you and I can actually see Rivera here another season.

Would not have a problem if he left. However, he did help to take a horrible offence in 2010 and turn it to a top ten. And took a awful defense in 2011 and turned it to currently a top 10.
Excuse you sir but maybe you didn't notice the additions of Cam,Shockey,and Olsen. For goodness sakes We had like four different quarterbacks in 2010 and they were all terrible. Don't give Rivera credit for that.

well, Critical not whatever the hell I typed, been typing most of the thread on my iPhone for what it's worth, but the statement is correct.Doc, you shot yourself in the foot with that statement, as well as starting this thread.
It's a critical thinking argument, I've had no intention of winning or losing any kind of a argument from the word go, I just wanted to put the thought out there. I'm just been tired of hearing all the "Fire Rivera", blah blah blah posts so I figured I throw a wrench into the discussion and get people to argue for or against with at least simi-factual based arguments instead of shouting "Fire Rivera 100 times" as if no one heard them the first time.
so excuse me for trying to get people to think more.

I for one could care less about his stoic face. I only care about his results on the field and they speak for themselvesI think most fans have had their fill with Rivera. His stoic face has become the poster for our poo season. Is he a good coach? Honestly, I don't really know. I think he could be a good head coach, but right now, there is so much wrong, he has to go.
Posted 23 November 2012 - 10:45 PM
Kansas City
San Diego
New Orleans
I'm only confident that we win two of those games against Philly and Kc (I was confident that we would beat Tampa Bay) For sake of good debate lets say we win four out of those last six. Sound familiar? So by being optimistic we are the same team as last year winning games late in the season when all it does is kill draft position.
The reality is that we will go 5-11 or 4-10
That is why you cant bring Mr. Rivera back. He always speaks of a missing piece with this team. He's right there is something missing with this team because its close every week.
Ill tell you what's missing and that's a Head Coach.

I agree. I don't think "stoic-ness" is a measure of success. (Tom Landry was the epitome of stoic) What I was saying is that his face has become tied to our season. Whenever you think about the meltdowns this season, you think of his unresponsive face.
It's the one thing that could've made him great, and now it makes him the joke.

yep. i absolutely LOATHE the idea of a coaching-go-round. i hate what this franchise has become in recent years, but that's where we are and a lot of it is we didn't start with a clean slate when we had a chance to a couple years ago. we should have gone for a new HC and a new GM. i don't think we should make that mistake again.coaching go round be damned/ that is exactly what losing coaches are meant to do... go round
i'm just glad that we won't be going for the triple whammy in having to start all over with a new franchise QB.
at least i hope we don't.

Jan Marini Customer Reviews
Pleasantly Surprised - 4/6/2015 11:21:16 AM When I received this cleanser I also got a sample that I thought was an exfoliating cream. So I put it on my face and went to bed. Well, turns out it was a self tanner (duh!) and I woke up orange. I didn't know what to do so I put this cleanser on and let it sit for about 3 minutes and wiped it off with a wash cloth. I was amazed by how much of the tanner it took off. I did that again that night and the next morning and the tanner was gone and my skin looked great. Now I use this cleanser in the shower the same way every morning and I can't believe the results. When I read the reviews for this I thought "seriously people? it's just a cleanser", so I wasn't expecting much. I am SO happy (and shocked) with the results. I would've described my skin before as "congested, sundamaged, acne-prone." It is much clearer and smoother now.Pump packaging not as good as the previous bottle - 1/15/2015 12:14:37 PM I like the product, have been using it for 10 years, but a few years ago the packaging was changed from a glass bottle with a dropper to a plastic pump bottle. As other reviews have noted, the plastic cap breaks, won't stay on, and it's more difficult to get the product out. With the dropper I could control exactly how much product I used. With the pump I sometimes get too much in one pump, sometimes too little and when I pump again too much product comes out. This is wasteful - though probably the idea behind the new packaging. Wasted product means you have to purchase more often. The nozzle gets clogged often and it's difficult to use all the product as the bottle starts to run low. I end up having to use a q-tip to scrape out the last of the product - also wasteful as the q-tip absorbs some of the product. Sadly I have decided to move on to a different product that isn't so wasteful and poorly packaged. If Jan Marini ever brings back the old bottle I would use again. This is just too expensive to have waste.Great cleanser - 8/25/2014 6:31:28 AM I LOVE the way this cleanser smells and a little goes a long way. It removes everything on my face! And I don't have dry skin afterwards.Love! - 8/17/2014 2:10:13 PM I'm 50 and off hormones so my chin looks like I'm 16. But everything I tried was designed for teens. Saw this praised in a magazine staff reviews, tried and can tell when I skip it. I'm sold!Love Jan Marini - 7/25/2014 8:01:57 AM Great retinol...but give it at least 3 months before you really start to see results!Jan Marini C-Estamins - 7/25/2014 7:54:06 AM These vitamins really will give you a new lease on life. My skin is clear, clean and bright. I have noticed an increase in overall firming, including my body. These pills dig deep down and bring impurities to the surface to be washed away. The pills are very easy to swallow, and I plan to continue indefinitely.Best Cleanser - 5/20/2014 2:39:19 PM I purchased this cleanser after another cleanser I was using was not available for purchase by the public (only distributed by a Physician now) and after another product made my sensitive skin break out in a rash. This cleanser cleared my skin immediately. I was SO impressed with the results! I can't believe it worked so fast. I was also VERY pleased to know that this brand does not test on animals. I am hooked on Jan Marini products and will keep this as my go to skin regimen. I can't wait to try other products!JM Age Intervention Face Cream - 5/20/2014 10:39:53 AM I've been a faithful JM customer for years. I tried this product in-leiu of my usual product;JM's HYDRO SILK Face Cream. No comparison between the two. Please bring back the Hydro Silk Face Cream. It was a 5-Star product. I find this face cream easy to apply and it absorbs quickly. Within an hour it becomes heavy, and greasy on my face. This may be the first JM product that I will be returning.- 5/18/2014 6:51:15 AM I absolutely love the transformation line. I have used other products and it truly is the best for keeping the skin soft, lines reduced and giving an overall glow!Great product for you morning routine! - 2/19/2014 9:47:07 AM Finally I have found a retinol product that is lightweight and effective for my morning routine. My dark spots have faded and my skin is smoother. I also like that I can wear this product under my makeup! -

Fits in the palm of your hand. Double sided; for use left or right handed. Removes fleas and their eggs from the coat.
- Brand: Jeffers
- Type: Flea Comb
- Size: 3¼"

"Wrong color"
Flea combs should be white or beige. Easier to see the fleas if comb is light in color....not the same color as fleas
"Works great for eye stain"
I use this for cleaning the gunk out of my (long haired) Havaneses' tear stained hair. It's small enough to use near their eyes and fine enough to pull out the gunk.

O's-Rays an early treat in wide-open East
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Internally, the Rays are as optimistic as they've been at any point in franchise history about their chances this season, and the expectations from outside the organization are equally high. But they still have many questions left to answer.
Did they improve their lineup enough to support their loaded pitching staff? Who will make up for the innings James Shields pitched? Will Evan Longoria stay healthy and produce at an MVP-caliber level? Can Yunel Escobar stay out of trouble enough to let his talent speak for itself? When will Wil Myers arrive in the Majors, and what kind of impact will he have?
Meanwhile, the Orioles have faced only one question after a breakthrough 2012 campaign. They stunned baseball by snapping a skid of 14 straight losing seasons, storming out of the American League East cellar and into the playoffs, playing even better as the year went on.
But now, the question remains: Can the Orioles do it again?
Both clubs believe they can answer any questions, silence any doubts and beat anybody in the wide-open AL East. But the honest answer at this point has been something more like, "Wait and see."
Well, the wait is almost over. Reigning AL Cy Young Award winner David Price and the Rays will open the year against righty Jason Hammel and the Orioles on Tuesday afternoon at 3:10 ET at Tropicana Field, right back where they finished the regular season in 2012.
For Tampa Bay, much has changed since that game in early October, when a healthy Longoria blasted three homers, B.J. Upton shed a few tears walking off the field for the last time as a member of the Rays and Fernando Rodney notched his team-record 48th save, maintaining his record-low 0.60 ERA.
The Rays revamped their roster, as their low payroll often forces them to do, but this winter was busy even by their standards. Gone are Shields, Upton, Carlos Pena (again), J.P. Howell, Wade Davis, Jeff Keppinger, Elliot Johnson and Burke Badenhop, and in come Escobar, James Loney, Kelly Johnson, Roberto Hernandez and Myers, the highly touted prospect who will being the year at Triple-A Durham.
"I know we've lost a lot of guys, but that happens to us on an annual basis, so we're kind of used to that stuff," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "I think we feel equally good about being able to compete and win this division again. I'm going to say that every year, I think, pretty much from now on."
The Orioles, meanwhile, stood their ground and made no sweeping changes or high-profile additions to their roster, instead choosing to stick with the group that finished second in the AL East a year ago. Despite the high expectations and their status as a contender, the O's had about as quiet an offseason as anyone in baseball.
Baltimore made plenty of noise last year, though. Picked to finish last in the usually top-heavy AL East, the Orioles rode a strong core of position players, a tremendous bullpen and a 29-9 record in one-run games -- the best in Major League history -- all the way to their first postseason berth since 1997.
But that unprecedented success in close games has led many people to say the Orioles were simply lucky last year, that they can't possibly hope to contend again using that same formula. In other words, they say, the O's were a fluke.
Don't tell Orioles manager Buck Showalter what they're saying, though.
"People that play the game know that 'they say' is the biggest liar," Showalter said earlier this spring. "I know what they say about us. We're supposed to be in last place. That's all right. Our guys, they're used to that environment."
So now, the Orioles are out to prove that last year wasn't a fluke, that their breakout campaign in 2012 was a warning to the rest of the AL East that they're here to stay, much like the Rays announced their arrival as perennial contenders in 2008.
The Rays went from worst to first that year. The Orioles went from 69-93 to 93-69 last year. But in this year's AL East, perhaps as balanced from top to bottom as it's been at any point, neither club will be catching anybody by surprise -- least of all each other.
"Expectations are good; I like expectations," Maddon said. "I think they give you something to live up to. There may have been a time you might run away from that stuff or cower a bit, but I think we're beyond that and I would like to believe that our players really enjoy that stuff, too."
Orioles: Can bullpen be that good again?
While often attributed to luck or coincidence, Baltimore's historic success in late and close games was largely a product of its excellent bullpen work across the board. The O's relievers were healthy, and they were as good as they've been in their careers. The Orioles were 74-0 with a lead after seven innings, 75-1 with a lead after eight and 16-2 in extra-innings games.
While their starters struggled to a 61-58 record and a 4.42 ERA, Orioles relievers went 32-11 with a 3.00 ERA over 545 1/3 innings. And nobody was better than closer Jim Johnson, who's back this year after saving a club-record 51 games in 2012. He was just the 10th pitcher to record 50 saves or more in one season since 1969, when the save became an official statistic.
And Johnson (2-1, 2.49 ERA) benefited from equally impressive work by returning setup men Darren O'Day (7-1, 2.28 ERA in 67 innings) and Pedro Strop (5-2, 2.44 ERA in 66 1/3 innings).
Rays: What's next for Price?
Price will make his second Opening Day start against the Orioles, likely the first of many more to come for the Rays' 27-year-old ace. Price went 20-5 with a 2.56 ERA in 2012 and will be among the favorites win the AL Cy Young Award, something he accomplished last year. The lefty says he can improve on last year's performance by better utilizing his offspeed pitches, and he hopes to pick up even more innings to make up for the loss of Shields, who was dealt to Kansas City along with Wade Davis for Myers.
Only three times since 2000 has a reigning Cy Young Award winner lost on Opening Day the year after winning the honor (Cliff Lee, 2009; Roy Halladay, '04; Randy Johnson, '03). Price took the loss in his previous Game 1 start, also against the Orioles.
"[Being the Opening Day starter] is what you want to be," Price said recently. "I don't only want to be the best on a staff; I want to be the best in baseball. That's what I strive to be, year in and year out."
Worth noting
• The Orioles beat the Rays in the 2012 season series, 10-8, but Tampa Bay scored more runs over those 18 games than Baltimore, 61-56.
• Last year was the Rays' third consecutive season with 90 wins or more and their fifth straight winning season. How hard is it to do that? Only the Yankees (20) and Cardinals (five) have current streaks that long.
• The Orioles went 38-20 from Aug. 1 through the end of the regular season, posting the best winning percentage (.655) in baseball. For all the talk of their run differential, they scored 273 runs (second in the East to the Yankees' 295) and allowed 206 (second to the Rays' 167) during that span.
• The Rays finished 46-35 at Tropicana Field last season and have gone 251-154 there since 2008, putting them behind only the Yankees.

Early Morning Shoppers Filling Stores
Last minute shoppers could seal successful season for retailers
Forget the "fiscal cliff", forget economic uncertainty, this is Christmas after all.
And that is just what last minute holiday shoppers are doing. Metro Detroit shopping malls were full most of the weekends and, this morning, those stores staying open 24 hours a day are seeing a steady business as the holiday buying season winds down with most stores closing by 6pm tonight.
"We are seeing constant traffic", said Giovani Booker, manager of the Macy's store at Oakland Mall this morning. "The best time to come in is before 10am, our traffic will really pick up after that."
The Macy's at Oakland Mall has been open 24 hours a day since 7am Friday. It will close at 6pm tonight.
They are buying despite the numbers. Consumer confidence fell in December to a five-month low. . The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index slid to 72.9, the weakest since July, from 82.7 in November.
The National Retail Federation has said holiday sales will rise 4.1 percent to about $586.1 billion this year.
Karen McDonald, spokeswoman for Twelve Oaks Mall said in an email to the news service Bloomberg that Twelve Oak s was "seeing small sales increases overall as larger transactions were compensating for a drop in store visitors."

McCarthy, Lewis set to go in Yanks-Rangers finale
Righties, relative strangers to Yankee Stadium mound, to match up
Two veteran pitchers will take the mound at Yankee Stadium on Thursday afternoon to finish up a four-game series between the Yankees and Rangers. But that mound will be relatively new for both of them.
Recently acquired Yankees hurler Brandon McCarthy will make just his second home start at the new Yankee Stadium -- just the fifth Yankee Stadium start in his career. He tossed six innings of one-run ball against Cincinnati last Saturday and has averaged 100 pitches in his first two outings with his new team.
"It's nice that it's just at least a good first impression," said McCarthy. "Mostly, the way the season's gone, it's just more positive outings, more positive outings, and get back to where I want to be and just build on success. Whether it's here or in Arizona, I just wanted to get back into a successful groove and feel like myself again."
Part of building more confidence has been his decision to mix up his heavy dosage of sinkers, which made him rather predictable with the D-backs. Having a veteran catcher in Brian McCann has only helped him trust his other stuff.
"We place a lot of trust in McCann," said McCarthy. "He's been around enough pitchers better than me, he's caught some fantastic guys, and he's got some great thoughts himself, that it gives me all the confidence in the world. He just puts the fingers down, I just have to throw it where he wants."
Meanwhile, the Rangers will counter with Colby Lewis, who has never pitched in the new Yankee Stadium, and hasn't pitched a regular-season start against the Yankees since Aug. 5, 2003. He pitched twice in the postseason against New York in the 2011 postseason and was 2-0 with a 1.98 ERA, but both games were in Arlington.
"I think it's kind of cool to be able to pitch in the old Yankee Stadium and the new Yankee Stadium," said Lewis.
"It might be a new stadium, but the ghosts are still here. They just came across the street," said manager Ron Washington. "This place and Boston give you butterflies."
Lewis, aiming to split the series and quell any nerves, seemed to pitch well in his last start, allowing two runs in five innings. But he also gave up eight hits, and opponents are hitting .353 off him. Right now, that is the third-highest mark against any Major League pitcher with at least 80 innings pitched in a single season over the last 50 years.
"I have to continue to do what I was doing in my last start," Lewis said. "I feel like I was throwing the ball really well. I was locating my offspeed pitches. I need to continue to do that. I could cut back a couple of walks, but other than that, I feel like I'm in a pretty good place with the feel of my pitches and how my body feels."
Yankees: Johnson heads to 15-day DL, Leroux promoted
The Yankees placed infielder-outfielder Kelly Johnson on the 15-day disabled list on Wednesday with a Grade 1 strain of his left groin.
Johnson, primarily an infielder, made his first Major League start in right field Tuesday night. He sustained the injury while running out a 10th-inning ground ball in the Yankees' 2-1, 14-inning victory over the Rangers.
With the Yankees in need of pitching help after Tuesday's extra-inning affair, right-hander Chris Leroux had his contract selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
"We assume Kelly is going to at least be [out for] 10 days, so we make that move and go from there," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.
Rangers: Mendez impressing in bullpen
Rookie right-handed reliever Roman Mendez has made an impression since he was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on July 4. He has pitched in five games and not allowed a run in 8 2/3 innings. He has retired 26 of 33 batters, allowing just two hits and walking five.
His fastball averages 94.5 mph, the highest on the current staff. But his slider and his splitfinger have also been effective.
"He has been pretty good in his one-inning stints," Washington said. "You send him out there for a second inning and that's when he gets in trouble. He gets fatigued and his mechanics get out of whack. He's got to figure out how to get six outs instead of three."
Mendez is the latest dividend in the most bountiful trade in Rangers history. In 2007, they traded Mark Teixeira and Ron Mahay to the Braves for catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, shortstop Elvis Andrus and pitchers Neftali Feliz, Matt Harrison and Beau Jones.
The Rangers acquired Mendez from the Red Sox on July 31, 2010, as one of the three players for Saltalamacchia.
Worth noting
• McCann played first base for the second straight game Wednesday night, and Francisco Cervelli took over catching duties again after enduring 14 innings the night before.
"It's just going to be pure reaction for me," McCann said. "But I feel comfortable fielding, picking, whatever I need to do."
• Adrian Beltre is 14-for-33 against McCarthy, with two home runs and 10 RBIs. His .424 average against McCarthy is his second-highest average against any opposing pitcher with a minimum of 30 plate appearances.
• Tuesday's 14-inning Yankees victory lasted 4 hours and 51 minutes, and matched the Yankees' longest-game of the year innings-wise, done twice previously.

Go Play After Labor Day
Outdoor Fun Doesn't End With Summer-Finale Holiday
ATLANTA, August 11, 2010 – The end of summer doesn't have to mean the end of fun in the great outdoors. As Labor Day approaches, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) encourages families to get outdoors over the holiday weekend and continue enjoying outdoor activities into the fall.
"The amount of time that the average child spends outside today is half of what it was 20 years ago," said DNR Commissioner Chris Clark. "As summer draws to a close and kids head back to school, it's important for families to plan fun outdoor activities that keep them moving."
The DNR provides numerous ways to keep families active, from ranger programs to historic enactments, and from wildlife management areas to fishing piers. Below are suggestions for getting outside this autumn.

Hi Guys!
Before I started to add the cleats to the model I decided to look at pictures to see if I could find a good one of the aft chock, which is not currently on Batfish due to the access ramp, but surely was on her when she was in service. I didn't have to look long as I soon found a picture that Tom D had previously sent that shows the chock nicely. The picture below is a clip of Tom's pic.
To start the process of making the chock, I started with the chock I made for USCGC Bertholf, copying it into a file that I had previously copied the outline of the chock from the plans to.
Note that since Bertholf is in 1/350 scale, the chock is too small. When I scaled it up 243% the length was right on, but the width was too narrow.
So I made a Block out of it and stretched it in the y-direction.
Unfortunately, AutoCad again wouldn't let me explode it, so I essentially had to redraw it. The image below shows the guidelines I used to make it…
…First extruding the circles along the outer oval, then copying the outer oval out from the chock and extruding it through the chock…
…Then using the Union command to define the chock.
Next I subtracted the solid created by extrusion of the smaller circle from the chock.
With the main body of the chock complete I next prepared to make the base, which I did in 2 parts.
The red polyline was extruded just to cover the flange, and then was copied to the other flange.
The yellow polyline was moved into the interior of the chock…
…Then extruded completely through to the other side.
This isn't exactly how it is in real life, but I made it like this to provide more support and still replicate the real deal.
Next I started the base for the light on the top of the chock. I first drew a rectangle on top and extruded it through the chock, and then copied the whole thing to the side.
On the copied one, I subtracted the chock from the extruded rectangle.
Separated the parts and deleted the bottom part as well as the entire extrusion on the original.
I then moved t he remaining part back to the original chock…
Next I extruded the rectangle up 0.005" and joined everything together, before preparing to make the light itself, which I did by extruding or lofting circles and a hexagon, as shown in the images below.
I also added the bar or cap on the top as seen in the picture, by lofting two different sixed rectangles.
I then joined everything together, including the chock.
The image below shows it on the scaled dime.
