Here is the image the software created. I have the latest version of Aspire. I have not added any color to anything but the font so it would stand out. I plan to carve the sign and let one of the...
It is in bad shape and hand painted over the old church sign (Whipple Creek Church). It is made from 1/4 plastic of some type and painted it has a large corner broken and was designed to be lighted...
Hi Joe,
I feel the same way my Pastor likes it but to me it looks very amateurish I am not very artistic.

I am trying to design and make a new sign for my church. Signs are not something I usually make. Cost is a factor we have a small church and funds are tight. The existing sign is broken but has a...
Thanks for the info guys Bob has offered to sell me a pump I think is going to work very good for this project I will follow up with some pictures and a video using the fixture when I get it built.
These parts are one at a time made in my VMC 50 part runs. I have been making them on my router table 20 at a time but edge finish is not great and my shop built vacuum system is not really up to the...
Thanks for the info. Bob you can shoot me an email of what you have if you want to. mike@millermarineproducts.com

Try contacting Gary Campbell or Brady on here and see if they would be willing to come fix it. You will probably save money in the long run paying one of these guys to come to your shop if they are...
I use bits made by Onsrud to machine plastic they are made for soft plastic but you will still see tooling marks if that matters. The 2 flute 52-000 series work best for bottom finish you can also...
I should have mentioned when I did change the router on my Shop Bot I replaced it with a Columbo 3 HP spindle it was a big upgrade. If it were me I would either put in an HSD spindle or try one of...
I used a Milwaukee 3.5 HP for a while on my machine but did not like the collets. I have the big PC on a manual router table and I like it better than the Milwaukee.
Nice work!!
Check the drawing and make sure it is a closed vector you can right click on the vector and if you get the choice to close it by moving end points or with a straight line it is open you can also look...
Here is a thought you could poor concrete into a form with some leveling bolts in the form the concrete would help stabilize the machine and get you the height you want. Add some steel or rebar in...
I have never used flanges on the vacuum tables I have made I just machine the hole to fit close and seal with silicone. I used the Valtera valves the only thing I don't like about them are the T...
My air compressor, Dust collector, Light House vacuum hold down motors and a Vibratory Bowl tumbler all are housed in a loafing shed just outside my shop. I put all the noisy stuff outside it sure...
Make sure not to bottom out the bit in the collet before tightening if you do as the collet tightens the threads pull into the collet if the bit is bottomed it will not get tight as it is trying to...
Very nice job on the sharpening. I once had a tool grinder but never had time to learn to use it I eventually traded or sold it I can't remember.
