My first customer for laser cutting. Woo! Farrell runs the Maker mobile truck in Vancouver and is a regular at the VHS. He needed a reliable, affordable laser cutter to make tiny bookshelves. He emailed the files in DXF format and they worked on the first try. I think it turned out great!
Special thanks to Justin for implementing this cool idea. Apparently it can handle both button push passwords and swipe passwords. I’m sure it won’t be long now before it’s playing Angry Birds.
A couple of years ago I constructed my first big machine, a CNC router from a Build Your CNC kit. I recently sold it to make room for a laser cutter that better suits my scale and expertise. Richard bought it and sent me pictures of his first upgrades which are great. Take a look at these images that explain how he made a dust shoe, a method for keeping wood dust from the router contained instead of all over the machine.
Here are the most common questions I get asked about my laser cutter.
A lamp made in about 30 minutes for the Illuminares Lantern Festival. I figured lots of VHS members would be there and this way they could find me.
My first bolted mortise & tenon joint, to be used in many future robot projects.
