Yesterday Joey Jarrard delivered my new Stinger II CNC Router at about 4pm in the afternoon.
I started the day early with a much needed shop cleaning, hauling steel and other "Stuff" out of my workshop that has been accumulating for a long time. Mostly material that was left over from previous jobs like steel, Corian and some wood. Jackie and my daughter Jess pitched in to help with the cleanup tasks and the two of them managed to put together a new gas grill as well. My shop floor is still full of steel I purchased for the top for my new chipbox, pipe to replace the 6 by 6 support posts and a host of other pieces that I intend to make several new implements for my tractor.
The group that assembled here included Ed Lang and his son, Ed's friend Russ and Shawn Cooper. Between the lift gate and my John Deere we were able to get the Stinger lowered to the ground then pick it up and make the short trip over to the shop.
Once in the shop Joey hooked up the computer and did a demonstration answering questions about the machine and the software. There was so much going on that I didn't realize that my photographer (Jackie) had left the event and started cooking burgers and hot dogs so we didn't get as many pictures as I had expected. We did get a fine meal though

Third Picture - The Stinger, ready to go to work. I purchased two of the black tool boxes from HF last week. They work really well as a place to house computers for the routers, router bits, clamps and all the other goodies necessary to get the job done.
Fourth Picture - Across my workshop the old ShopBot and the new Stinger in the background.
Joey was able to take some pictures, I expect he will upload them after he gets some well deserved rest from a very long trip.
I have to thank Joey Jarrard and the whole CAMaster Crew for building, delivering and demonstrating my new Stinger II. This level of service is very rare.
