A little something for work

This is a fun little project.  Nothing like a 2 hour cut job to get a project rolling...

Smashed this plane sometime ago.  It is now time for the resurrection to begin!   Used to be a great gp ultimate bipe and it will be once again!

Microwave stand

Helped a friend build a microwave stand.  Even found a spot to hang my paper towel holder...

Broke a router bit!

Nothing like a router bit snapping off at 23000 rpm to get your attention.  Glad I got in the habit of wearing eye protection. Not the the broken shard hit me but it did get my attention.  :)

Paper towel holder

I have had this design for a paper towel holder kicking around for a bit but hadn't cut one.  Finnaly got around to cutting this one out and I am pleased.

New techniques

Tried a new technique in creating a sign. So far so good!   Lots less time and so much easier to complete a project.

Got lights!

Got some new lights for the garage.  Not sure this was a good idea,  so much easier to see the mess that I have now.  Time to start cleaning!

I did get some more coasters cut though.   Working on finishing them now.

Flashlight holder

Needed someplace to put my flashlight so I designed a holder and cut it out with the cnc machine.  A little sanding and some sealer on it now I have a nifty flashlight holder!

Sign with scalloped background

This is my first sign with a textured background.  Turned out pretty good and now people are forewarned!

Got doors? :)

Put some doors on the cabinets while the new signage was being cut.  Not perfect but better than before!

New machine in action!

Finally got version two in motion.   First sign being cut now!   So exciting!  :-)

Got the new machine assembled!   Need to get some wood for a sacrificial surface and a little bit of painting but otherwise ready to go.  Now for the disposal of the old machine parts.

Dalmatian coasters

One dozen Dalmatian coasters ready for their first coat of sealer.  Looking good so far, I think I will need to adjust the acceleration of the machine after the rebuild it is taking just over an hour to mill out four coasters.

Coasters anyone?

Got the engraving painting and initial sanding done.   Need to cut them out and seal them next.  Got some nice cork for the backing.  I am liking these so far even though the cut time is over an hour!
