I wished I had this Godsend talent and skill...

Thank's, Blacky. I appreciate it, mate .

This thread make me cry like a baby.

SIMPLY AMAZING!!!

lol cheers, bud.

I liked it, even though we only milled and lathed wax and plastic just in case we got our feed rates mixed up and tried to move laterally at 14 inches per minute while 1 inch below the surface. The wax and plastic would give and crack before the tool broke.

That was just the CNC I class. I wanted to take the CNC II class in the fall but it didn't line up with any of my available times, and I didn't want to reschedule my classes for my major so I could take an elective, "for fun" class such as CNC II. I hear we mill metals in CNC II but we'll see if I get to take it.

Thanks for the info, mate . It sounds really interesting, i'll have to see if there are any classes locally.

I don't have any programming experience, but like everyone else here i know my way around a computer (well, windows anyway). So, is the software difficult to work with?

The other thing i wanted to ask was how long the class took? Days, weeks, months?

Sorry about the 20 questions

How are you texturing that aluminum? What process/tools are you using to do it? Because it looks pretty kewl, and not the normal brushed look that everyone else does.

There's no special technique or anything, I just use a black&decker "mouse" sander and a 120 grit pad. Works great for cleaning up aluminum surfaces, although it's still going to get painted down the line. The sanders and pads are pretty cheap too

Hi Callen

Always so beautiful to see imagination and rigor of execution in the work. 5 hours crossed in the updates is to be greeted. There are not too many photos (of what you are afraid), irreproachable. Many details in the images, the complexity of conception and realization see each other good.
Now Callen you are not lucky, we wait for the continuation

Thanks, manu_D! I appreciate the thoughtful comment
