meade916 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 I don't know how other people that own CNC machines do it, but for me, i see EVERY scrap as valuable so i throw nothing out. If i can't make something i can sell with a piece of scrap, i damn sure can use it to proto-type something else i can sell later. Anything larger than a 6" circle can be used to practice something else on if i need to But that causes problems. I have everything from brand new flat stock (MDF, PVC, Acrylic, plywood etc), i have half sheets. I have quarter sheets. I have stuff with chunks taken out....i have it all. I have 4 separate "stacks" of misc stuff that i cannot throw away leaned on 4 different walls in my little wood shop area. It is OUT OF CONTROL. Plus, when i do need to grab something out of the pile, i can't get to anything because it's up against a wall. Not to mention the longer it sits, the more of an angle it takes on. This makes precious sheets of whatever start to bow a little over time. I have wanted to make something for about a year but i just have not had time to design something. Today, over a hot cup of coffee, i went for a pre-dawn run to Home Depot and got a bunch of wood and some casters. I drew some stuff up free-style on the CNC and went to work. As of today's posting, it isn't done yet. But i hope to have it done tomorrow. I want the glue to dry before i flip it on it's side and put the casters on. I also want to sheet each column out with 1/8" or 1/4" MDF. So tomorrow, ill have more updates!+89+9+/* 1 Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel! Over 1,000,000 subscribers strong!

meade916 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 I have to say, it is rare that i use the entire table. It's been a while since i had the machine that far on the other side. 2 Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!

meade916 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Oh also, just had to vent a little...this was a challenge to put together with that SHITTY ASS HOME DEPOT WOOD. Jeeeezeeee....i didn't realize they were all that shitty when i plucked them out. I guess i was in a hurry. Nasty ass warped wood....oh well i made it work. I bent most of the bad ones into shape as the project came together. Tomorrow i will sheet all the sides so it's 4 solid little area's. Should look and function very nicely. 1 Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel! Over 1,000,000 subscribers strong!

I know how much you like it when people tell you stuff like that haha it is kinda nice haha! But really though it took me over an hour to get everything the way i wanted it on the screen before i even started. Everything is aligned really nice and consistent. It is fun to make stuff for the shop with that thing Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!
