This was my primary reason for purchasing the Shopbot. I like to take care of my own. The guys love them!

Oh, and I threw in a picture of my helper!

Very cool....My love for woodworking was fostered by my uncle who would give me scraps, hammer and nails, handsaw and other handtools and told to go make something.

It didn't matter what it was and after i would show it to him he would help me refine it. I guess you can't just "turn over the keys to the shop" to your young one but definitely foster that interest. Great plaques!:D

Wow nice job, this may sound like a silly question but this is coming from a complete newbie woodworker. When you painted your letters and details is there a technique you follow or do you paint it all by hand? I was wondering if you could spray the whole thing at once and run it through a planer or something when it dried. Thanks in advance.

U.S.

The material looks like Corian so the best way to paint would be to spray (rattle can) and then sand off the excess.
