Man I'm having fun with this machine #101 - St. Louis Mo.

[zumergido]

nice work. its the second time i see the microwave over the stove, i dont see any stractor or air cleaner on that .. or simply nobody use the stove to cook.. or nobody cares about the smoke and vapors.

[rcboats1]

Fernando, there is a fan/vent built into the microwave.

Thanks for the kind words.
The customer loves it , which is best of all.
I keep vacillating between CabinetPlanner and CabinetPartsPro.....
decisions decisions....

Darren,

What don't you like about cabinetplanner?

[darren salyer]

Nils, thanks for asking the question.
For whatever reason, I liked the "look" of CPP a little better, but when forced to think seriously to answer your question, I couldn't come up with a single thing I dislike about CabinetPlanner.
So, there it is, I'm off to download CabinetPlanner.

[sailfl]

Darren,

I didn't mean to push you in one direction....

I looked at CPP and it does have nice screens. I might try the free version.

[darren salyer]

You didn't push me anywhere except to quit procrastinating.
I needed to decide in order to get some time behind the wheel before I need to go to work with either program.

[Mojo]

Very nice indeed! Cheers!

I purchased Cabinet Planner the other day. For the price, why not. I'm very surprised at how much it does.

[darren salyer]

Hi Steve,
I saw your intro post on their forum a couple days ago.
I pulled the trigger, but haven't done much more than register it, and start reading the manual.

[parrulho]

Do you know 3d generator cabinet planner? Looks easy to work at the video demonstration. I'm also looking for that kind of software...

[darren salyer]

I've never seen that one, Paulo.

[darren salyer]

Had to spend a Saturday in the shop working on a customer project I'm behind on through no fault of my own....
Thought I'd take a few minutes to toolpath some brackets for a shelf for the shop radio....
Beauty of a MM? No such thing as scrap anymore.

[jessyjames]

Man that sure looks great. Nice job!

[Mojo]

Very Nice indeed.. someday for me i will stop drafting stuff i want to make and start making it lol. Still building my shop at home..

[darren salyer]

As I alluded to in post #253, I'd like to redo my spraybooth wall to look like an old rusty iron façade.
To get started, I drew up a couple of simple frames to hold a piece of .220 Plexiglass which will become the windows to look into the booth.

[darren salyer]

These are 12"x18" inside, made of 3/4" MDF scraps and some 1/2" button head plugs.

[darren salyer]

Before the iron patina.

[darren salyer]

brackets need a couple more coats of paint, but here they are mocked up on the shelf, which is on its back on the workbench.

[parrulho]

lot of fun... wish to have my machine working. but not so far, already got my motors turning...

[Andrew_standen]

I like the rust finish, very convincing. Well done.

[darren salyer]

Thank you for the compliment Andrew, loks like you'll be starting to create things now...nice job on your MM.
Here is a pic of the first window installed.
All the galvanized metal needs to be patina'd now.

[darren salyer]

Huh, didn't notice the MM in the reflection, til I posted this. Neat.

[pblackburn]

Sure

[Robert M]

Just love this " look like an old rusty iron façade"...looks great !

[darren salyer]

I feel so organized now....

[darren salyer]

Found this on Craigslist. Going to look at it tomorrow.
For 100 bucks, I can't build one.

[darren salyer]

I have the new kiosk in the shop and hooked up, and here is my first glitch.
The keyboard doesn't have pageup/pagedown keys which my Mach3 2010 screenset uses to control Z height..... uh oh.

[darren salyer]

another shot....

[darren salyer]

I'm embarrassed to say I forgot setting the pageup/pagedown on the old keyboard using the Hotkeys.
Reset the Z jog to U for up and D for down and all is right with the world.
Can't decide on a coat of MM blue or leave well enough alone.
