We got through the fish boat build in fine form and without difficulty today and amazingly still had time for a second project. So I led the charge on creating the routing files for a small tank I had designed around the same time as the little boat. The eager crew followed my marching orders in good form and we had the makings of a bunch of tanks in a short period of time. We had great fun!
Visiting an old friend
I'm currently showing a group of software users how to create complex 3D reliefs in our CNC routing program. I wanted to present a real challenge, so I went back to a sign I had created quite a number of years ago. The little fish boat on the Shymer's Harbor sign looks deceptively simple but actually uses many different rather complex functions of the software. The thing is I had to remember how to do it myself first. As I practiced creating the file I remembered the struggle I had back then because then I was just learning the software myself. But now, after over a decade of practice I found it was easy. But tomorrow as I teach I will have to have a lot of patience for most of those I am teaching are trying this stuff for the first time. It's going to be fun!
Down to the sparkle in his eye
Peter and I were on our way to Salt Lake City while the crew stayed busy in the shop. Becke polished off the Cloud Buster sign and it is looking very fine! Check out the video on Facebook or instagram for the finishing touch. Well done Becke!
