Pulled together a quick clock project with Tom Igoe. Tom works on the insides, I work on the outsides. We made so many bad choices along the way, we decided to call it the “What Not To Do” Clock.

After a quick polish, it appears to magnify a bit.

I CNC’d some acrylic on the 4 axis into lens like shapes. After a polish on the buffing wheel, they actually worked.

Made a fun little walnut Caster Car. Everything was CNC’s on the Bantam mill then sandwiched together.

Made a walnut cheese board for the holidays. Came out a little too fraternity paddle-y, but you can still serve cheese on it. #cnc #walnut

CNC’d another cheese board. This time in walnut.

Part is done and hopefully will add some emotion to a robot.

This walnut part was deceptively difficult to wrap my head around. Perfect part for the 4-axis though.

Cut off the extra material, build a quick jig, then sand off tabs. Getting there.

Made a Wonder Woman Robot Recipe a little while back. Finally getting around to posting it.

Whipped up some quick acrylic inlay exercises for some toys.

Everything was milled on the Bantam mill.

A toy car experiment, borrowed heavily from Tai Geng’s otto and Playsam’s Streamliner.

Two pieces of milled plywood and some modified caster wheels made for a pretty fast little racer.

Crazy to think of all of the work that goes into assemblies that no one will even see.
