Thought it would be fun to see what people have made on the CNC Model 2006.

So we can have one place to look at the fine work pieces.

Here is a kick off of a couple i have done. (names have been removed in pieces to protect the innocent)... lol

Joe, here is my latest project I just finished. I made this cribbage board for my dad he seems to have a hard time seeing the peg holes LOL. And he can keep everything in one spot.

That looks nice, the top just screws onto the bottom to make a nice enclosure.

Very nice Rick!
When you get a chance can you post details on what bits you used and how you finished the cribbage board. It's nice to see these work pieces and would be great to get a little detail on each one. Joe's work is very nice also and I've seen in his log details on how he did some of the work. It's great to learn something new or just pick up a tip or two!

Thanks,
Bob

Been busy, but finally getting back to cnc. Joe's design is still running strong. Even despite problems I've had the machine is great and the work created with it is a result of hours of tinkering, making enough mistakes, teaching myself to program cad/cam all that, and joe's (and cnczone's) support for his design. Thanks for putting up with all my nagging in the past few months.

This is just a sample, wish I shot pics of everything. Mostly for friends.

The saw blade sign is cool. All the finish work looks good, too.

Thanks for the comments ger, I just started using the avery paint mask that Jay reccomended on the vectric forum. The stuff is great, and creates a flawless way to paint the signs especially with detailed lettering. The saw blade one was fun, one of my first cutouts on my router believe it or not. I traced a photo of a dewalt chop saw blade in autocad and I actually broke a 1/4" spiral cutting it out. You reccomended using 3/8" tooling so I could hunk that out as I had vibration problems and the 3/8" cutter cut that out flawlessly. I had little chatter marks on the teeth of the cutout and I didnt have to sand at all, I was suprised. First one was done for a co-worker, second was coincidentally another person, a memorial plaque for a fellow woodworker that past last year. The bottom is a Portuguese phrase, "good memories last forever."

I hope more people post work; I think it's neat to see what people can come up with for joe's diy machine!

Excellent work Brian. I'm getting very itchy, but very busy with my business and then my renovations so the Joes CNC is going to have to wait a little. Still squeezing in as much as I can when I can.

Hi Brian,

Excellent projects and the finishing looks very professional - great work!

As you say, using a paint mask really does take the hard work out of finishing carved pieces. But it still requires an 'artistic-eye' to make things look interesting and appealing!

This paint mask May I ask what site did you order from

Tony, that's one of the hardest parts. Software, great tooling, industrial machines; they only go so far. You can do almost anything with a 3 axis router, but it is up to the programmer to get it cut efficiently, safely and when not for parts but for aesthetics such as signs much of it is the creativity of the programmer . Your program seems to make that quite simplified however..

White Paint Mask 1510 Unpunched

http://www.beacongraphics.com/ (jay recommended it) I think it was around $28 for a roll shipped. I can get a lot of signs out of that one roll..

Look for A1828-S....easier to find. You won't see 1510 until it's in your cart.

Thanks ger, yeah I copied that from my paypal account sorry.
