What does 'jgro' stand for?

[diarmaid]

Hi, I've read many posts about this 'jgro' cnc design but everyone knows what it means and as such dont say. What is it? What does it stand for?
Thanks.

Im not sure what it stands for, but the one that created it; is named jgro(I mean his username) on here. Maybe you could send him a PM and ask him, if no one else knows.

That answers my question. I thought that jgro design might have been some sort of cnc term for the machine specification or way it was built, layout of the rails etc. But its just the guys username. Thanks Rob.

I suspect the "j" in jgro represents his name, John. You can see pics of his Generation I and Generation II CNC machines and other projects on his website, John's Shop Pages. Be sure to check out the extensive links on his links page!

The $6.00 jigsaw/scrollsaw made from an old sewing machine, some scrap lumber, and miscellaneous hardware is also an impressive little DIY project.


Enjoy!,

Geeze, this is the most popular thread I've ever started!! lol. I've pm'd jgro to find out what it actually stands for but before he replies lets see how many strange and wonderful suggestions we can think of . Heres one...

Johns Got Really Overweight

Im no stick myself so hope no-one takes offence to that. Someone with a better imagination can post a funnier suggestion!

Edit:....I visited Johns page at the link above, its really cool.

Sheesh!

My first name is John, my last name is Groeschel. Way back when I used to use jgroeschel as my login for my ISP. Then I switched providers and that username had too many characters. I thought about using jgroesch, but instead stortened it to jgro. And yes, Johns Got Really Overweight

The O in JGRO is a combindation place holder/punctuation as is the "aey" in:

"I'm from Canada, aey"

or

"Are you from the States, aey"

PS, have some real good friends up north of the border.
