Yep. It will be TIG welded to the mount that is going into my van. It will be TIG welded because I don’t want spatter on the finish. That mount will be bolted in. It was finished on the back half with the tool after roughing the shape out.

Had to share, this is in-progress weaving class for scarves on our 4-harness table loom in fiberarts/ca. This class focus is twill weave-structure scarves. I threaded the loom so it would work with about 20 twill-structure patterns in our weaving draft book. They pick which one(s) they want to weave.
The class session was teaching them how to read the draft and hands-on practice a bit to make sure they feel ok coming in on their own to weave, each taking a turn for their scarf on the shared warp. Once everyone done, I’ll cut everything apart and it’ll be ready for pickup.

Hi I’m Kim!
I finished my topographic world map late last month. I loved how it turned out. It’s roughly 3 1/2’ by 5’ and has 5 layers.
My coworker wanted a topographic map so I created one for her using satellite images and creating contour lines based on the levels.

In keeping with my quasi-tradition of planning laser-cut projects, I have some plastic shoe boxes I’d like to stack up and organize, generally as so…
Not the fanciest visualization, but more than sufficient to start designing from. Left side is the elevation facing the user, right side is a section. Shelf is 11.5" deep and I have ~39" of vertical clearance against 15" of height; I plan on making two of these.
After quite a bit of time determining just how much material I really needed, I condensed it down to something that fits within the footprint of a 24x48" quarter-sheet of plywood:
Between the visualization and the design file, I removed a lot of material on the vertical sections. This won’t be supporting a lot of weight and will be screwed into the wall. A second unit stacked on top will have the benefit of double-stacked 1/4" plywood to help bear the weight.
I might even find enough wasted space to fit my last as-yet-unrealized design in.

Congratulations to Bud Farnham who completed the bottle opener with a Joker head project. This is Bud’s 3rd project and did a very good job and has earned unsupervised access to the HAAS CNC mill. I’m sure we’ll see a lot of great things from Bud. Cheers!

I made a 3d scan of my house with my drone, then used third party software to stitch it into a 3d mesh and stl file, I 3d printed it. Thank you to Kee and Mitch for their help.

I just started woodworking last month, and after making a cutting board I got a bit ambitious and decided to make a table for board gaming as my second project. I followed some plans I found, and I used pine boards for all pieces except for the gaming surface itself, which is plywood covered in felt. Finished with stain and GF High Performance satin. Very happy with the finished product with its imperfections and learned my lessons for next time!

Very nice, should make your gaming more fun.
Glad to see you jump right in!
Did some dye sublimation this weekend. The Texas AirHogs second baseman, Alvaro Rondon set the American Association’s single season record for stolen bases. I was asked to create a plaque to congratulate him at their final game of the season on Monday. Here is a picture of the transfer straight out of the printer, and the resulting plaque.
