the story!

How it went from a sketch to a quote.

Kilnfield photographed a clay grip squeezed by six hands and asked for the average. Orthelle built the grip surface from the photos and joined it to the motor housing as a proper shell with ribs.

The section cut showed wall thickness under the trigger dropping to 1.1 mm; one prompt fixed it to 2.2 mm without touching the outside surface.

With 61 parts, the exploded view became the service manual.
