The garage/shop expansion begins! Going from 380 square feet to 1200. It will be incredible to have space for once. Clay soil so they went down about 10' and compacted every 6" - 8" on the way back up.

Cutting some of our Custom Name Periodic Table signs today with a 60 degree insert vbit from @toolstoday (Amana RC-1108). We use Oramask 813 Stencil Film to aid in painting the recesses.
Releasing my Marvel Calendar design has been a really fun experience. I created it with the desire to spawn creativity in the maker community and it definitely worked. I've seen a couple hundred versions of it and has been downloaded almost 70k times from my website!
Finally using my drag knife to produce some prototype parts. The gadget in Aspire made the end loops too small so I made my own loops and put a long tab on them to lift the blade during the loop. Otherwise the knife destroys the loop.
I'm not sure what it is for other than someone local needing a quick turnaround. I really like the font as it's like a stencil and requires no extra tabs or holding methods. I turned the shop lights off and let the CNC machine LED strips illuminate from behind.
Taking some deep passes on this prototype piece for a cutting board inlay. It is a #46207 down cutting bit from @toolstoday. It gives the best finish for deep cuts in hardwood such as this 6/4 hard maple. No chatter like the .5" single staight flute I've been using.
The 12' wide sign has been installed just in time. The customers were super happy with it and it looks fantastic lit up. It weighs about 350 lbs so tomorrow I'll be adding some additional hardware and also painting the footing blocks. I'm pretty sure you can see it from space!
