Wow, cleared out my ignore list the other day to see if things had improved, not for you. Bye.

Nicely done!

Virtual Reality games using PC and Oculus Rift. Elite Dangerous and Lone Echo are my two favorites but Beat Sabre is fun and a good workout.

Diamond wheel on a Dremel tool to cut the stem off a glass. Work the wheel around the stem and it breaks cleanly. I drilled down about an inch on the wood stem to have more glass for the epoxy to hold. Standard two part epoxy and they seem to be pretty solid.

Friend wants me to laser a design on a couple of wineglasses for a gift, then asked me if I could make a wooden stem for the glass. Here’s the first one, not etched yet but fresh from the rotary attachment on the CNC machine. Nice thing about computer designs, they are repeatable. I’ve never had...

Frontier phone and DSL customer, no dial tone since Feb. 6 and DSL works about 3 hours per day, you just don’t know when and never for more than 30 minutes at a time. Current repair trip is set for Feb 25 after missing the repair trip scheduled last week. They called the day before to verify the...

Unusually warm day here in West Virginia, about 60 degrees. It’s about 50 now so decided to set outside by the fire. Very comfortable.

There were a number of no calls early in the game that could have gone against the Saints so it all evened out.

Functional is good!

MRG, thanks for the compliments! The recipe box sides are walnut, the rest is cherry. All the wood is from trees I’ve cut and made in to lumber over the years. I like to use all the wood I cut and don’t mind a mix of heartwood and sapwood in a project although some people don’t like the mix...

Recipe Box & Coasters Some gifts for Christmas. Coasters are cut on the CNC and the design engraved with the laser. Recipe box has a laser engraved top as well. Fun projects.

We have two cars and typically replace one of them when the combined mileage gets to around 125,000. My truck is at around 90,000 now and our Highlander is at about 12,000 so will be a while before we make any changes.

Working on some Christmas ideas from the laser. A local store asked me if I could do some personalized items to sell. Will see what happens. The largest ones take about 3-4 minutes to cut from 1/8” Baltic Birch ply. Biggest ones are about 13” high.

I've given up on my Ipad for this site, no issues with any other site and will most likely just stop visiting here as it only works when I'm on the PC. I tried adblock and wipr, works for an hour or so, then stops so really believe this is a erorg issue and not going to keep trying to fix it...

Happening so often on this site only that it is almost unusable. Using an IPad.

Sign is made from HDU and I used high quality house paint for the finish. It is also under an East facing porch so will be out of the harshest weather as well. 53anddone, great barn. Is it free standing or is it anchored? Looks like it might be movable?

Here’s the sign I finished for a local charity.

Thanks for the feedback, DW and her sister have booked a trip!

My wife and her sister are thinking about taking a river cruise in China late next year. One they are looking at is for 10 days and is offered by Viking Cruise. Anyone familiar with this or similar cruises. They like the idea of being in one cabin for most of the trip. We did a similar cruise in...

Going to have to give these a try!

Love the jukebox! This is a work in progress of a sign for a local charity that provides toys to kids. Carved on the CNC from sign foam (HDU), ready for paint. Hearts will be red, teddy bears brown, and the lettering and decorative edging will be black. All on a white background. The sign is 4’...

I volunteer and also serve on the board for a local artist Co-op and usually spend time there 2 days a week. I sell some items there and through word of mouth but would never make a living at it or want to, it would be too much like work. I don’t even want to think about how much money I’ve...

Wine butler for a friend, cut from Mulberry. This is how it looks right off the router, it will darken to match the color of the darker piece when exposed to sunlight. At the rate we are seeing the sun lately, this may take a while! Will laser etch a couple of glasses with the same leaf design...

I met braumeister on Wednesday as he went through here on his trip, I hope I wasn’t one of the strange people you talked about! Enjoyed the visit as well.

For the last 10 years, every phone I’ve ever talked to my mom on has been faulty because she can’t hear me well.
