I have had some mild fantasies about turning it into a 5 axis ( or more) machine to do full size sculpture with. Right now I do my large work in 12" slabs, laminate and finish with chisels. Colombo now offers a commercial 5 axis conversion spindle that is very nice. I have not priced it yet, don't want to ruin the fantasy. Again, nice machine, Thanks for sharing, Phill

Nice work, I love that traditional carving, I used to make alot of queen ann legs for chairs.
Question: adding that 4th axis; can you give me a play by play on that.
and the scanner looks like alot of fun, who is from?

Very nice machine. Picked up 2 5" rotary tables of ebay for $80. I plan to make a 2 axis head like yours out of them. As for my 4 axis, I plan to mount my 4' record and marples wood lathe in the bed and drive it with a stepper. Who knows if it will work good but the price was correct.
Excelent machine, keep up the good work,
Tim
