Join us for the CNC Saloon this Saturday, March 28 at 7:00 PM at Asmbly in the Multi-Purpose Room for a short discussion. Then we’ll head over to the CNC machines to see Al demonstrate the rotary tool in action.
If you want to hang out beforehand, we’ll also be meeting at Buddy’s Burgers at 5:30 PM.
This will be a great chance to get a more concrete feel for how rotary works on the CNC, what it can do, and what it takes to go from “that seems neat” to actually cutting parts. And I guarantee you, our discussions will get circular!
Also, quick heads-up: our next CNC SIG will be on Sunday, April 12, not April 5, so it doesn’t conflict with Easter.
That Tiki is cool, but a table leg seems practical as heck!
Also practical…
harley quinn’s bat out of a 2x4 or 4x4?
oh oh…
Renfest is kicking off, right? How about a wand or a staff or a sword from a 2x4?
ooooooohhhhhhhh… or easter! a 4x4 easter egg would be neato. with groves and such my kids could paint. i can’t even imagine how to go about making such a thing in vCarve.
Granted, i don’t have STLs for any of that, so … table leg? table leg sounds good to me!
It was a very good night at the Saloon… Six of us had dinner at 5:30 PM and we went back to Asmbly where we met another three of us around 7 PM in the MPR for about 35 minutes. There Al Watson showed us his Fusion CAD & CAM of the Tiki, and then we went into the wood shop. Three end mills (3/4, 1/4, 1/32) and about 2 hours later the Tiki was done.
@atwatsoniii, thanks for sharing your hard work and knowledge with us. Well done and very cool! I hereby claim the Tiki project a success and a nice move forward!!
