We finally got around to using our new CNC machine!  All I can say is WOW!  The video here isn’t a video of us, (we haven’t made any videos yet), and our machine, while a “Shark ” brand cnc machine, is actually a higher model than the one in the video here.  ( We have the Shark Pro Plus …click the link to go to Rockler Tools and check it out! )

ANYTHING you can create, scan, or import into your computer can be carved into wood by these machines! You can create signs, carve guitar bodies and necks etc,  plaques, carve furniture parts, import and carve photographs into wood and the list goes on and on.

These machines can become a business all by themselves…. we live out in the country now, (moved to the rolling hills of rural Northern Alberta about a year ago), and are already receiving orders for farm signs. (We brought a 53 foot dry van full of  figured maple from B.C. with us when we moved:) Good thing, eh?!) We are also buying a lot of plainer softwoods locally, like Pine and Spruce, etc.

Take a look at the video!  The only bad thing about getting into this is that I already want an even larger CNC machine! I am looking into the Shopbot Buddy for my next one! (Next video)
