Since moving cross country and falling into a new trade , Ive noticed some old injuries being agitated by the repetitive nature of one specific and necessary task. I've come up with a simple drill attachment to eliminate the potentially career ending task. I've even figured out how to make it adjustable to cover multiple tasks.
Having discussed this repetitive motion injury with others in this trade I've discovered the need is profound for this tool. The amount of them within just my shop with this type of injury is near 100% .
I found a need. I found a solution. I found multiple ways of designing this tool from simple to overly complicated to corner just about anyway someone may be able to copy this concept. My biggest problem is getting a prototype made. If i had the money to make or buy the tooling or a 3d printer i would already have it. My mechanical drawing sucks. Ive had limited use of CAD programs but if i had the 3d printer i could figure it out as I go. I've tried to source gears from all over and coming up short with exactly what I need. Ive been letting it develop in my free time over the last few months but lately I've been fighting to give this idea life.
Any ideas how to get this done or to secure funding with only an idea and a drawing?
