    Steve, is that fish WOOD? Never really understood Sculpt Nouveau. Saw Joe talking about it,saw they were bringing to the Maine camp this year, didn't know what the whoora was about.That brings it home and I'll have to check it out. Thanks all, was in a burnt-out funk the night I first posted this but straightened now(well,sort of. Got to go make some sawdust with cast iron while it's warm enough to feel my fingers. Dave,chicken!

    I WAS going to put this on my "First Cut" thread, but that's in the 2013 folder.
    This one's NOT rocket Science.
    NOT fancy.
    Not even mostly CNC.
    BUT the customer's satisfaction, the fact that it's my first requested set of Blocks, and all the proto Blocks I did my first year lying around the house led to it....
    Are gradually making me proud, even though I'm aware of all the imperfections.
    AND it cheered Dad up!!

    LONG rambling thread on Vectric Forum;

    But here's a couple pics.

    SURELY someone in the intervening 5 years has done something they are PROUDEST of?

    Going from these:


    to this:


    Had to take apart the doors, removing panels using the shopbot:


    then a track saw to take the rest of the door apart, avoiding nails (only hit 1) and then plane the old finish off, glue up, and then carve the NC shape out on the shopbot.

    Looking back this is one of my favorite projects. With this one I first began to develop posts as part of the concept. Then there was the selection of the script letter style.

    There are 3 that I am proud of and one being a cross for the church around the corner from me it is a real small church and they didn't even know I was donating it to them. Another was for our local firehouse a new sign and the lettering for a monument that the Boy Scouts worked on. The last was a Plaque for 5 of my friends that was killed in a steam engine explosion but that one was done on my laser.

    Here is a chair which I made last year. Every part was primarily shaped on the SB.

    This bench is by far the most unique piece that I have designed and cut on the shopbot. It's a bit of a pain in the rear -- 96 pieces, 2 threaded rods and 2 inner support rods -- but it has been well received.

    Default Great question!

    I have many that when completed turned about even better than what I had imagined. Two things make that possible, first of course is the great tool we all share and next would have to be Aspire from Vectric.

    So here are two of my 'proudest' pieces. I am a model builder and I am always so surprised at what a 48x96 bot can do. First up is a model stock car, think Lionel size. That's a nickel in the pix.



    Next up is an eight foot diameter logo cut on my bot.



    Great question thanks for posting. Russ

    I am so proud of so many of the pieces that my Bot helped me produce that the "one" is totally impossible. I'm posting here the first serious piece that I did on my bot. In this case it cut all of the curved parts of different radiuses, from the parts actually used in the piece, such as the top, shelves, and bottom curved parts that all had different radii to the pieces for the bending jig for the doors and template for the glass cutters. At that time the bot was a PRT. The Veneer was, and always shall be, hand work. I have always seen my Bot as one tool among many that contribute to a finished product.
