Hey Scott, mine too! from the Astronaut Farmer. My other wife gave it that name :-)

My wife named it the shebot.
I think she felt she had been replaced for a while.

Congratulations Ernie. Now, post some photos of those great signs.

My ShopBot has been called several names, usually when it does something strange because I gave it the wrong command.

Ray,
I just got my Sign Council calendar, I see you are a winner. Great Job!

How did you make the star? It looks like iron.

I'll post some sign photos but first my grandson with his favorite shopbot apron!

It looked like a necktie on me.

Just to let you all know Pedro has undergone a tripple bypass ( 7.2.1 upgrade) For a while i was not sure he was going to make it, ( me being the surgeon) but i would like to say he is making a slow recovery , for a while his #4 wouldnt clear so i confered with Dr. Chris at the neuroligical center for the advancement of bots @ N.C. and after a few consultations we did brain surgery.(3.5.5)that cleared #4 just to reveal that he had a z zero recognition problem , After showing him photos of things from his past he remembered things again , and decided to act right,( I think he heard me say 1 more thing and its to the junkyard you go ) the next thing is to refresh his memory so he can remember to cut at a constant depth. he keeps forgetting this .I know its fri and he's probably tired so i might let him rest for the weekend and see how he feels on monday. Just for fun i might leave the cutting torch by him for the weekend.. lets all hope he makes a full and speedy recovery, Youre prayers will be appreciated .. Thanks Gene

Ernie - thanks. The star in the center of that sign is cast aluminum from King Architectural Metals (that we gold leafed). I had orginally designed it with an oval piece of stained glass in the middle to match some transom glass in the building, but there is a junior high school just about two blocks from there and I thought that stained glass would make too much of a target.

My daughter named it "Samantha", a bit of magic involved???
