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.

Newbys are what it is mostly about Claudio.

Phil would be very welcome,

For those who are attending the next BBQ.

Does anyone have contacts for "Rowmark" style engraving plastics?

I need a bit for our name tags. Only need say half a meter square.

Preferably a nicer colour than last time. That was just a scrap piece I got somewhere.

Well due to insomnia I decided to have a little fun tonight and make a business card style PCB to promote the BBQ, I have not etched it yet but will on the weekend.

The first pic isn't all that special, it is just a bmp of the board, but the next two are the actual printed sized board, I put a chip on and tried to take photo's as best I could but you get the idea.

The tracks are 10 thou in the old scale and some size in mm

If I can't organise a printer for the day I will at least bring a couple of these along.

Russell.
