Gerald: That might be a good idea.
Nils: Thanks for the info. I'm not that far along in the registration process. I don't have $5000 to spend on something like that nor do I have the room to set up an artist's studio, tools shed, etc. Hmmmm... I may have to rethink this. On a positive note, a few days ago, I got a call from a guy here in town who wanted me to cut some plywood for him. He had found me by Googling "CNC router Arkansas" and found this website with my name. Then he looked me up in the phone book. |
Doug,
That is good to hear. I will keep you posted if they send me anything that changes the requirements for the initial test. They want to test if the parts will fit. One project took, I think it was 35 pieces of plywood. It is expensive even for a company that has a profit going. |
Nils,
The dog house took 3 sheets of OSB at less than 8 buck at the HD, the garden shed will take 25 sheets but I need one anyway. So for 200 in material I can have a 5'x8' shed. Where are you getting 5000? You can sell one of each mill. So put it on Creigs list for what you have in material. I think that it is an excellent opportunity.

Green Machine update info!?
Hi Justin,
I’m curious to find out if you ever got to run your Green Machine on your MM and if so, can you give some appreciation on the work about and it’s long term, if ever, usage ? Thanks in advance, Robert ;) |
I am running it. Because I got it for free it has been good. There is a lot about using these kinds of vacuum motors on the shopbot web site. I still use tabs and clamps on the corners of the sheet. It will pull though a .75 sheet of mdf and hold another sheet of .75 mdf on top of that. Look up "notes from the sand box" on the shopbot web site. There is a great writeup on vacuum table and plenum.

Thanks, will look it up ;)

Some fun stuff this past week, not just cabinet parts.
|
nice sign! how long did that take? and it looks like the physical design co from earlier posts a few years back is no longer there :/
|
Thanks John #96,
It took about 5 hours to cut. Physical Design has gone away. |
The cut looks very accurate, nice work !
