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

Shake, rattle & roll

The pieces of the streetcar fit together just like they were meant to. It only took a few minutes with a sanding block to smooth out the pieces and it was ready for paint.
I added the pick-up poles which were fashioned from some welding rod in a hurry. I first painted the base colors and then added a dark red glaze to highlight the textures. A little gold leaf added some bling to the lettering. With the MultiCam a detailed piece was produced in only a few hours, about half of it while I was working on other things.
It's pure MAGIC!
