    Default Home CNC - Show off your work!

    I've searched through the forum a little bit and have found various posts of what people have made but I want to see more! Getting bored with the machine and looking for simple and fun things to make. I've always been interested in things that can be cut all in one shot and basically assembled after machining. What do you guys make with your machines at home and do you make any money doing it?

    Very cool Fretman, do you machine the necks as well or just the body and cover plates?

    Yes...I CNC necks and bodies too, but only 2D at this time. All the bodies I do are slab sided so 3D isn't a big deal there. But I do want to get into 3D CNC for cutting necks.

    Here are some drawer pulls I made a while ago. Made from some burled walnut. Great use for some scrap cut-off material.

    They did require a bit of after CNC'd work. Not many things are good to go right off the router.

    Here was a little project that was good to go right off the router. Kind of a unique project, I'll admit. They were a spacer for electric fence (wire, actually) stand-offs. I could not find a stand-off that would fit the gate frame, so I made a spacer using an old cutting board. This stuff cuts great.

    Alright. One more, for tonight.

    These are zero clearance table saw blade inserts. They tend to be on the consumable side of things. I can't imagine not using a zero clearance insert on the table saw.

    Yes, military grade aluminum fin cans. The ones pictured are our "art series" fin cans for serious rocketry hobbyists. The ones we make for the US Navy are just raw aluminum. Just a few short years ago I was starting my CNC build from scrap parts, now I make parts for the Weapons Division.

    Friends were thoughtful enough to bring me some koa wood pieces from their visit to Hawaii. I wanted to make them something to remind them of their trip and did an inlay in the koa with a black walnut sea turtle.

    Some of the more recent completed stuff, one of the shots is of small section of HDPU foam sheet machined for making silicon molds for producing glass panels.

    cheers, Ian
