So what do you make?

Tons of posts here about upgrades, repairs, issues....but I'm curious to see what you guys actually put out with your CNC mills. I bought mine for my business, no idea really what I'm going to make with it but it seemed like a nice addition to the shop. Love to see what these smaller mills are capable of, so post pics of the work you're most proud of!

Take a look at the pictures on the two web sites. And keep in mind the parts were made with Milling & Lathes.

Here is a link to my site. I make blade guards for tablesaws. This was the reason I caught the cnc bug.

An excellent question

Parts for my 1972 Pacemaker, throttle and shifter handles, some unique hinges.

Little machines for home. Electric cocktail stirring device, stepper controlled window shades, toys for christmas, and a lathe. I can't wait to see if it works.

Pics when I get a chance.

Combat robots, non-combat robots, guitar amps and effects, glass working tools, model airplane and helicopter parts, and a bunch more stuff. A small sample of some of the work I've done http://gallery.me.com/escott76#gallery That's mostly just the stuff I do for fun.

That particular circuit is based on the "Firefly" project which is derived from the AX84. Look around for AX84, you'll find their forums, links to suppliers, kits and way more. The host of their forums runs his own store, doberman amps I believe. I was able to cobble together my own independent tube reverb as well.
Tubes are fun and simple. It's easy to understand what the circuit is doing. Just be careful and follow the safety rules especially regarding the high voltage caps.
Building that amp was a very rewarding project. It's all mine, and I was even able to re-use some vintage tubes my grandfather (an old tv repairman) had given me. It's really a shame I'm not a better player
