Here's that first post.

It is hard to believe that it was less than five years ago I witnessed a CNC router in action for the very first time. I was fascinated 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 I quickly found out that the CNC routers were capable of just about anything imaginable. The software was capable of the same. But amazingly, in the sign world, everyone I talked with was using their routers as fancy jigsaws. I wanted to do so much more! I wanted to create textures and wonderful 3D objects and this was just the machine to take us there.
After months of research I determined that MultiCam made one of the very best routers around and I wanted the very best I could possibly have. They had delivered hundreds of these machines around the world. They offered a bullet proof machine and backed it up with first rate support. Twelve weeks after I placed my order our machine arrived at our shop and we began a journey of discovery that continues to this day. This journal will chronicle that journey to date and continue each week with two or three entries as we continue to explore just what is possible with this wonderful tool...

Back then information on CNC routers and how to use them was hard to come by. I had so many questions which needed answering and I knew many others did too. I approached MultiCam to sponsor this endeavour and thankfully, they happily did.
Over the last eight years I have posted 1,299 entries to this blog (and sister blogs sponsored by EnRoute Software and Precision Board.) Those many hundreds of project step by steps, videos and drawings have been viewed more than 653,000 times. That's a whole lot more than I ever imagined possible and it is gratifying to have achieved that kind of following.
As we turn the corner into 2018 MultiCam has decided to discontinue this project. The blog will stay live, with all that valuable information archived and still accessible. It is my hope that readers will still use the archived material as they need to in the future.
I want to say a BIG thank you to MultiCam for supporting this adventure for the last eight years! And thanks to all of our readers as well!
MultiCam now has a blog of their own at http://www.multicam.com/blog/
