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

Looking fine

It wasn't long until the MultiCam had machined all the parts I needed. Assembly went just as quick and before I knew it the table sextant was sitting before me. It looked fabulous already but I wanted to include a little more detail before I started the paint process.
I used a sculpting epoxy and sharpened stick to make barnacles which were placed randomly on the surface. I used reference pictures of some submerged wrecks to guide me... While I was at it I added some star fish too.
Things were coming along nicely. It was almost time for paint...
