Doug Pinney'a User Group Follow Up! WOW!


When we were a the the 2015 Vectric User Group meeting, past Weekend CNC Warrior, Doug Pinney took the time to introduce himself.  During our conversation he took us on a visual tour of his work and work he was getting ready to complete when he returned home.

The finish part below was one he took the time to show us and it looked impressive in Aspire.  The finished piece is more than impressive...

"Wood is Cherry Size is 22.5" X 32.5" Some of the items can from Pop's Tool Shop No. 2"

As he said in his comment some of the models came from the Pop's Tool Shop No.2 CNC project but the others he modeled himself!

Lots to take in when you look at his layout.  I think we all can agree it is a pretty nice finished project.


Thank you Doug for sharing this project with us! 

Rick Ashwood - D&M Customer Focus


These stunning pieces from Rick Ashwood surely show off his excellence in woodworking and finishing!  

Rick used the Win Bar No.1 CNC project to create the "Tiph Room" sign.

"The wine barrel is in cherry and 18 inches round. Finished with a 1/16 inch bit."

"I have a Shopbot Buddy and use a glazing technique for finishing."

That glazing looks sooooo smooth!

Rick hacked together this wonderful layout using the Western Saloon No.1 CNC Project and a couple of models from VA3D.com!

"The Indian head is In alder and I it was 15x19."

Rick also posted this on the Vectric forum if you're interested in seeing what other Vectric users had to say and ask.

"Both were cut from blocks of wood that were 1.7 inches thick."

I am sure you will all agree that Rick's 2 finished layouts are pretty darn nice!


Thank you Rick for sharing these projects with us! 

William Johnson - D&M Customer Focus


We love to see a great Design and Make CNC Project hack in our inbox!  William, from Wolf Creek Custom Wood, sure has created a great looking hack and final finished piece.

Raw part off of the CNC

"The finished size was 12" wide X 18" tall X 4/4 Poplar lumber."

"This is it, Maple, with Golden Oak stain and one spraying of clear gloss.
Doesn't look to bad, if I don't say so myself." 

Finished!

William used models from the Graduation Day No.1 CNC project to create this hack.  Also he has added in the fireman's maltese cross from his own clipart library!  Nice layout indeed!

William has made his own CNC from scratch!!!  He has a video on his Facebook page if you are interested in seeing in action! (link above)


Thank you William for sharing this project with us!
