Joe, your work is awesome. Even though I'm not a sign maker, I always check out your posts and I'm always impressed by both your work and willingness to share with the group.

Thanks,

I just hooked up an XP computer this weekend exclusively to run a Shopbot PRT alpha. I was unable to install 3.8.42 as it kept giving me errors when installing the USB drivers. However, I found a...

The latest from Glowforge is that instead of everyone having their unit by the end of June, it will be the end of December for the pre-orders, and after that for everyone else. On the bright side,...

Nice work and a great explanation of the process.

Thanks for posting!

You rock Eugene! Congrats and thanks for sharing!

Nice write up! Lots of hassle to get to it if you are not a subscriber however, so I'm attaching it as a PDF to save others time...

Saw this posted on Craigslist and thought I'd pass it along.

You didn't kill a $17,000 deal, you saved $6,000. :D Sad thing is that you are right about some others falling for this scam and other variations of it.

It is liquid cooled, they haven't stated what the liquid is, probably because they still haven't decided. The initial design is a sealed system running the liquid around the tube then to a heat...

Concerning rights to designs, Glowforge stated:

"Unless you decide to share your designs more broadly, our only rights to your designs are what we need to display them on your screen and put them...

I have a PRT Alpha with a PC Router. The previous owner had installed a socket head cap screw to clip to rather then the bit. I don't leave it installed when running, however I have forgotten to...

I don't know if you can compete with Bass lures, however I have a friend who wants me to cut out some muskie baits for him. This is a 10" one, there is also a 12" size. The 12" retails for $89.95. ...

Gene was kind enough to meet with me on a Sunday as I traveled back from McGrew's Aspire Camp. Yep, Gene does like to talk, and the best part is that it's all good stuff. Everything from wholesale...

I'm not sure exactly why you want to do this, however if you wanted to go the PLC route you can pick up a Click PLC from Automation Direct. They are inexpensive (as far as PLC's go), dependable, and...

Back to the original rant, it would be nice if Shopbot would offer an upgrade, a Raspberry Pi type controller that would "drip feed" the code to the controller so you didn't have to worry about the...

Amazon has it as well, both as in spray cans and quarts. All colors, most free shipping with Amazon Prime.

I am interested. My eyes aren't as good as they used to be and I would appreciate some more light around the spindle.

Wow Ron, thanks for the tip. :o For some reason I only thought they sold collections. I guess I haven't been to the site in recent years to know better.

Thanks much!

Thanks for the feedback Ken. I looked around the site and you're right, you do have to look through them to find the ones that will work.

Sorry for not replying sooner, got sidetracked with other...

Thanks Kurt, I haven't tried Vector Magic. It looks pretty cool. I was kinda hoping that someone else out there had created a ready made source of V-Carve images. I would think that there should...

I made a cedar V-Carved sign for a lady my wife works with. It's attached and I was able to use the files from the Vector Art Mega Collections. I have volumes 1 and 2. (They came with the bot)

Hole size is important when building a wren house. It needs to be small enough so sparrows cannot enter and use the house.

Sparrows are also the reason you don't want a perch. The sparrows...

Congrats on getting into the fair. In Minnesota getting into the State Fair is considered to be on par with winning the lottery, and your odds seem to be about the same. :D

Have to agree with Brady on the books, but I think time can be spent better than watching "The Secret".

Do a search for threads started by Eugene King. He has written many about how he markets. ...

I built a Thien Cyclone Separator and it has worked great. I do a lot of sanding as well as running the 'bot. I have emptied the garbage can many times and still don't even have the bottom of the...
