hi guys, havent posted any pictures in awhile but not because im not doing anything.  i have several compound cuts cut out and the dragon house sign and now a layered snake.  but i cant get them finished because i have the cnc machine and 2 lap tops n the kitchen table where i do my carving and putting together of things. we have the cnc working ran into a snag today while trying to clamp the wood to the bed, the bolts they sent with my cnc machine are 2 small so spike has to go to battle creek tomarrow to get the right sized screws then i can clamp the wood down then alan will help me some more in trying to get my first project going... IF i get it all working soon and get my first cnc project done can that be posted on here to?  its not really a scroll saw project... when i get use of my table again i will also get some of the stuff from my unfinished projects and finish them up...

All the years I've scrolled I never had a table to work on! Sounds like your making progress finally!!!!

lol  well its not table set for woodworking or crafting....its the kitchen table. lol which means any time i change crafts i have to redo the kitchen table... spike would love it if i would put everything away after working at the table so that it would have nothing on it....his idea when your done working on a project put your stuff away and then get everything back out again when you want to work on it again... that of course never happens lol as i just tell him will im not DONE yet..which means the table is almost constently filled with one craft or another...yes we are finally making progress with the cnc machine....and most of the problems were NOT that we didnt understand what we're doing.... first we discovered that the instructions we had for wireing it were wrong... spike looked on utube to see if he could figure out what the problem was after checking and rechecking the instructions and the way he had it wired....which was totaly different then what u tube had it so he rewired it accourding to the u tube and wa la!!  everything worked.... we are stalled again because they didnt put the right sized screws in the package for the clamps....so today spike will go into battle creek to get the size we need....if it werent for me i dont think spike would live in a little village as most of the time our hardwaire store dosnt have what we need and he has to drive to either lansing or battle creek to things...i remember my mom telling me its harder to learn new things as you get older...so at first i just chalked it up to that....butas time went on i was beginning to think spike and i were getting either senial or stupid in our old age its a relief to find out neither of those are happening...i will however have to find a different place to put the cnc machine once we have it working so i can use the table again when i need a table for crafting lol
