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! 

Daan Rutjes - D&M Customer Focus

It is amazing to see our CNC projects being used all over the world.  Dann is from Holland and is creating some very nice gifts using a couple of our projects.

Dann used the assembled layout from the Nursery Fun No.1 CNC project to create this lovely birth plaque.  What a great way to remember a very special day!

This great soccer (football in the UK and Europe) plaque was made using the Pick-Up League Soccer project.  I am sure the kids that received it loved them!

Daan used Vectric's Aspire 4.5 and his EAS heavy 600 CNC machine to create these pieces. 

Thank you Daan for sharing these projects with us!

Sometimes it's best we let the customer and his/her work get the first words in.

Tony used the assembled layout form the Under the Sea No.2 for this beautiful finished piece! 

"I have very recently purchased several of your Design and Make projects to get me going on my home made Mechmate CNC. I have very limited experience and have hardly used my machine due to work travel requirements however that has now changed and I plan to spend more time using my cnc and Design and Make Projects."

Tony added some VCarving to the assembled layout form the Under the Sea No.1 to create this piece!

"My CNC has a cutting table size of 2440mm x 1240mm runs with a water cooled 2.2Kw Spindle." 
"I use Vectric Aspire V8 and Mach 3."
"I used a 6mm End Mill to Rough out followed by a 2mm Tapered Ball nose to finish. The text was cut using a 60 degree V-Bit with both signs then being cut out using my table saw. The signs were then treated to several coats of Organoil to finish. Material used was Australian Blackwood."

Tony posted a great video on his businesses page showing the signs being machined!  Check it out!

Tony lives in Brisbane, Australia and we are so happy that he is enjoying working with our CNC projects!  Love that finish, it adds so much depth to the finish piece!  

Thank you Tony for sharing these projects with us!
