Hey guys,

I know it's been a long time since I've been around these parts of cyberspace, but I wanted to show you my latest project. This is what happens when you mix a woodworker with a computer geek.

If you're wondering what it is, it's a home made CNC router. I've still got a fair amount to do to get it to perfection. The table is slightly out of level, there are a few areas that need tightening, minor adjustments, etc., but it's finally making sawdust!!

Sorry guys, but this has been much more of a blast than programming CodeSurge ever was, although I did enjoy it. Both projects have caused considerable frustration, but also a high level of elation when it's actually working.

Anyone want me to cut them a sign, lol? I'd be more than happy to have some little projects to use it for. I've got to justify the money I've put into it.

Edit: If anyone wants to follow my build thread, it is here. You will probably need to sign up for an account to view the pictures, though.

Beautiful!! Amazing mix of hardware and software, gotta give you props man, you know what you're doing.

Wow, that is really great. I could spend hours just watching it do it's thing, it's pretty mesmerizing. Great work.

Do you have any plans for it? I mean did you build it for a specific purpose or just because it's a cool thing to have?

Well, I have the excuse that I'll use it for odd-ball stuff we do in the cabinet shop -- lazy susan cabinets, angled cabinets, etc. But the main reason I built it was because it is cool to have it around, and also just because I could. It's funny, but all of my most brilliant ideas have come about by me just thinking, "What if I just try this wacky idea?"

I'm also thinking of designing my own small sized CNC router kit that I can produce and sell online, using this machine to cut the parts. I like the idea of robots creating robots, don't you?

Lol, so do I.

Very cool dude. The first thing that comes to mind when I see that though is make some money! Put an add or something in the paper or make a website marketing your ability to do that kind of stuff. After you spent all that time building it, make a little mullah off it you know?
