I have a Rabbit laser (bought from Ray, Middletown OH - Cinci area). Yes it might be slower than Universal and Epilog - but it's a great place to start - especially for the price and size.

I have state farm and they insured the business separate from the house. In fact, because I make things to sell in the shop, it had to be under the business insurance - which then covered my...

I had to follow these instructions on a windows tablet in order to view pictures on the shopbot forum pages.

I bought 2 of the Zyxel wap 3205 units. It can be set to act as a network repeater. After setting it up, I set it on a window ledge of shop and it picks up my home wireless signal and that router is...

This was mine. I never made an instrument before and this bass guitar took a year and a half - a few hours on many weekends. I've been playing it for about a year and am just about to start on...

The laser that Zeron shows is the same one I used. Here is the link to mine:

Mine had one problem. Mounting it to side of the router worked...

When someone gave me some 8mm router bits I bought an 8mm to 1/2" adapter similar to this that seems to work ok.

I successfully cut some pearl for my first bass guitar, but it was with some trial and error. I would be interested in the size but you used and some cut speed information - if you don't mind...

Thanks Bob, I'll pass along the information and will probably give it a shot myself some day. Thanks again.

Bob, I am baffled - and impressed that you got good results. I have tried probably 20 times in the last couple of years to get decent results and had only 1 in all that time that looked moderately...

Gary, if you are asking - Do I play the bass and build things, the answer is yes. If you are asking if I play the bass just as well as build things, then that's up for debate. But yes, I play with...

More pictures. I guess I should mention that I made it on the shopbot.

My first (maybe my only) bass guitar. I thought I'd share this - which turned out to be a 13 month project, since I could only work on it in my spare time. A special thanks to Tim McKnight for some...

The last time I checked a few months back, Version 8 of Sketchup did not work with the dxf export add in utility. I had a friend go back to version 7, since the utility worked with it.

I did this for a friend of mine. Took his plastic grips (think his was an airsoft gun) probed them, and cut both sides from a piece of walnut. They turned out very good, but I found that you can...

Jerry,

I had to cut a lot of 5" circles out of the stuff that was about .100" thick and since I did not have much clearance, so I just used the same 1/8" 2 flute straight carbide router bit that I...

I had been using a Wired Logitech rumble-pad but I decided to go with the wireless version. For some reason Logitech is selling it cheaper than amazon or any other vendor I've found. It is less...

Bernard,

Do you resurface the spoil board with the vacuum on? Even though I have the standard setup (ply, mdf, spoil board), I noticed that I will have similar problems if I don't surface the...

Jack,

Here is a picture of the object file. As you can see, it's useless.

Uploaded video of the animation to youtube.

I took about 20 pictures of my fireplace and it came back half decent. But when I exported it to obj. and pulled it into aspire - it did not look good at all. The animation part was pretty unique...

pm sent......

Nice work. Did you do the inlay on the arch of the fretboard or while it was flat - before cutting the radius?

David,

Below is a link to the way I set mine up over a year ago. I had a job where I needed to cut out some pre-printed plastic signage - and I needed to be able to get within .010 to find the...
