Wall changer

First attempt at a wall hanger

Custom jig

Found some nice clamp things at harbor fright.  Made a set of custom jig holder thingys.  Working good so far!

Project of the day!

This is something that I have been meaning to carve for sometime now.   I think the project speaks for itself.

New cabinets for the garage...

New cabinets for the garage.   Getting organized is fun!

New parts

Milling new parts for the new cnc machine.   This makes me very happy.

More shelves...

Today we are building more shelving.  The organization is much needed and most welcome. 

First plaque!

This little bugger took much more fooling around than anticipated.  However we finally finished around 1am this morning and got up at 5:30 to finish sanding and sealing.

Got shelves?

Made these shelves over the weekend.  Hung on Monday and packed full of junk in minutes!   Good thing I got enough wood for two sets!

Carved signage

Made this the other night. Many other projects in the works!

Snowmen and gingerbread men

Made numerous snowmen and gingerbread men.  If I am going to get any real production done I am going to need some space in my workshop!

Snowmen!!!

More snowmen in progress!   Still have to paint the other side and put the hats on....

Busy elves!

Looks like the elves granted my Christmas wish and stained the gingerbread men!

More snowmen!

I was convinced by a friend that I should make more snowmen.   So here we go a carving again.  Not that it takes much for me to fire up the cnc machine!  :)

19 Gingerbread men!

Now where are my elves for the sanding and painting?

Ginger bread?

Gingerbread men anyone?    Yummy!

Snowman or snowwoman?

If its for a woman is it still a snowman?

Finished!

2 hour carving time!   Wow,  that took longer than expected but the results are fantastic.

Ed Parker

Fresh out of the machine!  Need to decide what kind of finish to use now.

Loving it!

All of my work has been well received so I am greatly heartened and am renewing my endeavors!

Take off your shoes!!

Is 19x22 really all that big?   Thinking that regular price should be at least $150.  I hate the painting part but it looks so good when done.

Look what I made!

Made this for a friend...   I think I like the way it turned out.  She is going to put clips on it so they can hang the kids art work. 

Price $30

Right Dalmatian close up

This is the right side.  Not the same graphic!

Close up left Dalmatian

This is a close up of the left dog.

Gate arch

Well this has been my most complicated project to day!   Each portion of the arch was a separate cut job.  I reused the dogs but still had to run three jobs on each board.  My mill will only handle 48 inches and each sign arch is 75 inches overall.  All together everything turned out very well!

Ready for paint!

The gateway arch cnc project is now ready for painting!

Side one cut...

Finally got the first side cut for the arch project.  Needs paint yet still looks good!   Not bad for an evening of beer drinking!  

Test 6

Something I am cutting right now!

Day 1

Not sure what to type...  While learning to program we all did the "Hello World" app just to be cool.  Unfortunately I have a variety of interests and would eliminate sleep from my daily regime if possible.  I think htat maybe today is "I CNC therefore I am!".

Finally cutting some new wood for a friend from work.  This has been a very interesting project for me as I have had to split the work into multiple jobs.  I will post results when finished.
