Thin Spoon
Wednesday, July 13th, 2022
Milled a walnut spoon on the 4 axis. This spoon is way too thin to be much use to anyone. So thin I lost a few during the milling process.

Milled a little wooden caddy. My favorite part is the cork on the bottom.
Vacuum Former/CNC Mill
Sunday, December 6th, 2020
I’ve been working on combining a vacuum former and a CNC. The goal is that the machine can mill the buck, form the plastic shell, and then mill the shell — all in one. The hope is that some interesting parts can be created with the machine.
I’m still in early stages and the rig is basically a Frankenstein build of various kits, but I think it’s starting to go somewhere.
CNC Jig for Slots
Sunday, December 6th, 2020
My latest tin can toy is based on Galactus. The main feature are the antennas on the side of the helmet. And the parts that connect the antenna fins to the head turned out to be the trickiest pieces. I made a jig for the mill so I could slot the aluminum. Then I turned them to the correct size on the lathe.

Deceptively Difficult Part
Tuesday, January 7th, 2020
This walnut part was deceptively difficult to wrap my head around. Perfect part for the 4-axis though.
CNC’d Cheese Board
Monday, February 25th, 2019
I CNC’d a simple cheese board out of some mystery scrap, then routed the edges round. I don’t even like cheese all that much.
