This project is another tool, but this time I'm going to design and build the whole thing, not just the shell.
I thought it would be much easier to build the insides of a search
light instead of a drill, drills are jam packed with stuff.
I thought I'd start with plotting an accurate parabolic curve including the focus point.
Another method I've used before is to slice a cone at the same angle as the cone itself.
This doesn't calculate the focus point however.
I used a method you can do with pencil and paper and a compass.
I had to use Cheetah as my compass after unsuccessfully looking for a script to do it.
