Work we produce

Jim,

The plaque was held with clamps. The contour detail was cut with a 60 degree vbit and the perimeter was cut with a quarter inch spiral bit. A simple little job but it brought a big smile to the new owner, you would have thought is was made of gold

What I got out of the job was some experience using the Dupont adhesive. I made a couple of mock-ups to get the hang of applying the adhesive and get the air bubbles out as I went along the groove. This stuff dries so fast there isn't a lot of time to work with it as it starts to skim over real quick.

MY latest design; Yes it is simple, but it works well. I will snap a picture when it is painted.
I used Aspire to design it.

Well, with all of the really nice stuff posted in this thread, I don't really feel adequate anymore...sigh

But...I guess I'll show you my latest. These are a set of gun grips I'm doing for a customer that sells handgun grips. I modeled them in Aspire (still learning this...) and machined them from 3/4" thk. walnut. I used a 1/4" ball nose @ 6 inches/sec feed rate on XY and 1 inch/sec on the Z. I didn't used any rough cut..just let the ball nose do it's thing (I did this to cut machining time down..thus piece price for the customer).

I wasn't completely happy with the finish (required some sanding) so will be trying it with a 1/16" ball nose today and slower feeds, but I will do a rough cut 1st on this one.

Machining time for this set of grips was about 20 minutes.

Here is the largest litho I have done to date 13.25 x 27.5 needs little more cleaning and framework and lights ... I will post finished product when I figure it out

Did the cleaning added new pics

James,

I'm looking forward to meeting you in October, you obviously have broken the Aspire learning curve and have lots of experience to share.

BTW your spoilboard looks like mine, I'm not alone in abusing my sacrificial routing surface
