Anyone else here from Arkansas? I can both mentor and am in need of mentoring. I can help with most any type of wood work as well as some machine design, a little electronics and cad. I am in need of Mach2 instruction as well as Rhino 3d instruction.

Cool....do any of you ever go crystal hunting??

[Deviant]

Arkansas Side of Memphis, Tn here.

Don't know anything about crystal hunting.

But most everything else that walks,flys or slithers is open for fair game. (grins)

Matt I live 40 miles sw of Hot Springs.

ViperTx, 30 miles from the largest crystal mines in the world and 28 miles from the only public Diamond mine in the world.

Deviant West Memphis?? You forgot swims in that fair game description!

Any of you guys use Mach2/3? Do you need any help with wood parts cut?

Mike

[Deviant]

Swims yes. = )

Almost catfishing time.

I have mach2, but haven't gotten the point of using it. I've been working on my shop mostly. That and digging holes for my wifes rose bushes.

Mike

I am wanting to build a 3 axis router based on jgro's design(I think). I am still researching to make sure that is the way that i want to go. I want the ability to cut mild steel and aluminum (like found in computer cases), some wood (want to build a new bass guitar), and etch plexiglass. beyound this im not sure what else i will want to do with this I guess i need to get one built and start to see where i need or want to upgrade. I am not even sure what router to use. I have seen several plans that have dremel tools mounted on Z. I figure this would work for etching the plex but not sure beyond that as to how it would handle the rest it would probably do ok on the wood as well.

any help or insight provided greatly appreciated.
