My local 'open friendly hacker space' wanted to charge me an exorbitant ​amount of money to show I knew how to use a mill already, so instead I bought a mini-mill of amazing for around $300.

First Blood


QWAK was built in a dirty garage, fathered by an ill tempered Chinese mill and came out dowsed in blood. MY BLOOD. Main mounting plate. Servo bodies attach here. It came out too small but this is the material I had at the time. I'll probably make a new plate in the near future.


These are the main leg assemblies. Most the the Aluminium I used was from weather stripping. So it was actually pretty easy to take the L-shaped window seams and use them for joints. Its difficult to tell in these pictures but the leg end pieces was simply ripped into an (long) L-shape and attached to the servo.

This is the complete assembly and basically how it exists at the moment.
