We need to get as much stuff to look at as possible.
I would love to see an MDF router make an appearance. To show some with a limited budget what is possible.
I'll stick my hand up for name badges again. New design and better colour.
Done of course using Mach3 and Vcarve Pro. No better still I'll use Cut2D.
Last BBQ Vectric kindly sponsored us with a copy of Photo Vcarve to give away as a door prize.
This time I will show some Lithophanes to show off one of it's coolest capabilities.

Hi All
I am, new to this list - been a reader not a writer - but would like to attend BBQ if my eye sight comes good in time to get there - Have had Operation on eye and not responding so cannot drive. Also makes it hard to work on my CNC projects

I'll try and get my Melbourne based brother (Phil) along if having a CNC newby is OK. He's been very interested in what I've been doing up here and will want to build a CNC router or convert a mill or lathe at some stage.
