This is a pic of a carving of a dragon which I did. This was done with a 3 mm ball nose.

Hey, are you the same guy that didn't know where to start 6 months ago?
Very impressive!
Lots of questions:
- Overall size?
- Total cutting time?
- Programs used?
- At the top edge of the wing (and the "teeth") appear to be "chatter" marks. Was this programmed in, or was it interference? |

After 6 years I am still amazed that a crude beast of a MechMate (or ShopBot), with no linear bearings, no ballscrews, can produce such fine work, even on a small scale. |

Gerald I know now you could walk around with your collars up. Mind you, you were a super Guru as well, although a bit harsh on certain occasions. Just pulling your leg mate. |

I really hope that "walking with collars up" has a different meaning in Sri Lanka to what it does here. Here it means you wear pink socks as well.... |

God, Sorry I did not mean it. In this part of the World what it means is a "man who is proud of his achievements". |
