WELCOME!


It is hard to believe that it was almost ten years ago I witnessed a CNC router in action for the very first time. I was fascinated with what I saw and simply had to have one! Although I had been in the creative end of the three dimensional sign business for most of my life I didn't really know what I would do with one - but I just knew it could do fantastic stuff.

Through extensive research and LOTS of hands-on practice I quickly found out that my MultiCam router was capable of just about anything imaginable.This journal will chronicle that journey to date and continue each week with two or three entries as I continue to explore just what is possible with this wonderful tool... -dan

Cleared for takeoff!

There were also a bunch of three dimensional pieces to make for the plane - all routed out of 30 lb Precision Board HDU. The MultiCam was used to make all the windows, engine housings and motors and propellers for the plane. While we worked on other things the machine was busy too producing parts in record time.
I worked with two helpers on this project and we produced the plane from start to finish in less than two weeks. As soon as it was done it was out the door and on the way to the Mall of America. I flew down by a commercial carrier and supervised the lift into its permanent home. It was nothing less than spectacular!
The MultiCam had proved itself once again. The plane weighed in at 1950 pounds - 50 pounds lighter than required.
