Rick,

>...compound diamond curve generator...a huge machine

I've had the pleasure of being humbled by one of quite enormous dimension.  I was not trained to operate it though.

I searched the archive and it looks like I made my wood and pulley home brew generator in '99.  There are pictures somewhere.  I took it apart and reclaimed the space and hand tools that powered it after it had done it's job.  It generated a ten inch twice (I was practicing) and the 16. There's still no mark II generator, but it progresses.  I'm two set screws closer to finishing it just today.

 
>...over simplified the operation

It is pretty simple, just not obvious.  I had to have it explained. It was one of those, oh I get it, moments.

Martin Cibulski design doesn't work exactly like a true generator, to do that he would have had to remove the shroud and lower the angle considerably, but I really like the way he hacked it together.  Wish I'd thought of an angle grinder.
