I was contracted to do a memorial marker for an elementry school, it seems a little girl that went to school there had passed away and they built a playhouse in her honor.These are just a few of the things I have done with my cnc. The Military Flag cases, are very special as I also take the empty shell casing from the funeral and make an ink pen out of it for the family. I have done Three cases and a whole lot of pens, so far. I believe I have 4 cases on order so far, for this year. I did a wooden picture of my nephew Caleb, He is 4, and he will not let his mom and dad have HIS picture. LoL. He has it in his room. I engrave pen cases, on the inside and outside as well. There are so many things you can do, the possibilities are endless. Dad has a small engine shop, and he could not find a gasket for an old carberator he had, so he brought me a roll of gasket material and i cut them out with my machine. He said hey these look like they came from a store.

Here's a lithophane I made of my daughter ( a LONG time ago now, lol!) with my Taig CNC benchtop from corian.

The frame is made from Black walnut and houses an LED strip in the back to light it up.

Here's a few recent projects on the CNC, (and lathe) although not metal, but shown is one side of a 2' x 2' fairy castle my 10yo daughter is building, the signs are ones my wife roped me into as freebies for her kinder, and the pens and cases my 13yo son and 10yo daughter made for their cousins. I have to say, making pens is really, really fun, and the kids just love it! Great way to get their interest and motivation.

cheers, Ian

I am into gasoline powered remote control race boats. I just finished a run of 50 pieces of this part. It's the stinger drive that supports the prop shaft.
