wawatobi....Sure, I'd love to see examples of your work. You should be able to upload some pics to one of the forums....there is one here about jewelery making. Or send to ViperTx@hotmail.com
Not a dime! I use it for fun/my own projects.
Mainly a hobby, any money made is just gravy.
I make some on-the-side money, not quitting my day job!
I better make money! This machine IS my job!
Are making money but for fear of getting their money making idea and plans duplicated and thereby losing revenue, are not saying that they are making good money with their machine ?
If you are one of those people-- it takes a ton of gumption to admit to it ... !!!

Hi-I am a retired engineer with a patent pending invention that is used in "benchrest shooting". It is a joystick that is capable of moving a firearm in azimuth and elevation. See it on E-Bay (BenchRest JoyStick Item number: 7185758262). With a design in m,y mind. I purchased a NASA CNC (Fagor Controller) last December. Now 9 months and 3 prototypes later I have a product. Started selling last week. Already sold a few. Also just purchased a used Kitamura mycenter 1. I told my wife I needed a tool changer. I BETTER MAKE some MONEY!!!
Herb, I looked at your invention on e-bay----looks super---hope you make a pile on cash
never set a pace that you can't maintain

I think if you bought a machine , say a black lab special (~2x12x24) for $600 , first of all that machine is not industrial, and you probably would end up beefing it up or fixing it before you got half way to recovering the cost of the machine, which would probably takes at least 1/2 year.
Anyone know why this last post keeps showing up in new posts even though it's from 10-6?
Also, what's a black lab special?
Thanks!
-Jeff
maybe because its the last and most new item in the thread ?
a black lab is is a hobby cnc machine maker/seller...
blacklabs.com ? maybe it was the guy's user name on ebay .. not sure if he still sells them but for $600-$1200 he was selling a 24 x 12 x 3 light duty machine, turn - key.
I think it keeps showing because everytime someone votes on any of the polls it moves that thread to the top of the list and puts the date of the last person who took the poll in the in the last post collium. Even though there are no new post in the thread. Just new voters.Originally Posted by InspirationTool

Yep, beats unemployment or working for an organization that is "lost at sea"....
I am now starting to get orders. Check out my new web site. www.benchrestjoystick.com.
Congratulations Herb....nice to see someone making a few buck off their inventions.
Has anyone checked out mfgquote.com?
there are alot of RFQ's on there. But it cost 400 permonth.
I havent purchased it , but I have seen what it's about.
Im on the fence about joining their site, I havent talked to anyone that actually got work from there.
