I think it'd be kinda fun for anyone.

I have precisely zero experience with CNC. How long did it take to
carve out that Celtic cross?

About 2 hours. It's HDU so the tool speed is reasonably fast. It took
longer to paint.

Wow. That's some kind of fast. Looks great, BTW. Oh, one more thing
while I've got you on the line. I must have missed your post where
you invited all wRECkers to your new pub. The subject line was
probably "Drinks Are On Me!" or something like that. Would you mind
posting that again so I could print out the coupon? Thanks.

Hell, that first picture alone looks like it belongs in an art gallery.
It's composed like there's a story in there, just waiting to be told.

You may be in the wrong business, Bro!

I heard he's doing a mail order special for those who can't be there, where
he sends them a free bottle of single-malt--a reprint on the coupon for that
would be cool too, way better than Harbor Freight coupons.

You'll be taking the standard 87.5% I assume? I mean, after expenses,
of course.

Cool. Is the Celtic cross an onlay or cut in?
What's the sign made of?

Is that for one of the new Banana Bars in Sarnia?

The cross is one piece of HDU 1-1/2" thick.
The sign back is MDO, the letters Corian.
The building anno 1880 brick.

Beautiful work..

Youngest son just ordered a CNC Tormach model 1100. Will be interested to
see it work. WW

What do you do for swarf collection and disposal, Toy?

A 1400 CFM single canister DC running a dedicated 4" line to the
spindle.

Here is an example of the effectiveness at removing a 1/8" cut with a
1" bit off a slab of walnut (used as a jointer in this application)
http://tinyurl.com/4d8j3hg

As I cut many materials, the bag on the DC looks like sand-art. It
goes out with my dumpster.

I will be planing a lot of cherry soon, and I let the curlz land on
the floor. I sweep them up and bag them to be used as bedding by a
Doberman breeder. (btw.. his dogs are bred for friendly temperament
and are the most affectionate, sweetest dogs you can wish for...they
don't look the part though...)

Works a charm.

That DC sounds pretty loud, kinda like the router bit. Whatcha
running? My Grizzly 1029 is really quiet. Got a HEPA bag on top yet?

Hey, it might sell on eBay. Ever tried?

Dobies are cool dogs, for dogs.
