Can't update previous #epoxy post so... #batman plaque v2 with a yellow tinted epoxy border. Still tacky but looking awesome! 😃 On to the next project! #makersgonnamake #epoxyresin #fun #cncwoodworking #bigReveal #tada #cnc

First time working with #epoxy 🤞 #batman plaque v2 with a yellow tinted epoxy border. Did some other test pieces, but that's the one I look forward to seeing in a day or so. Surprised at the number of bubbles. Not sure how often I have to hit it with the heat gun - suggestions? #makersgonnamake #epoxyresin #fun

Read about a recent lit ramp project for my old #dachshund (aka. #weinerdog). Her name is Ally. This fun project uses a #wemos D1 #arduino #microcontroller together with a motion sensor and some addressable LEDs.

This was another multi-level #cncCarving for my friends over at @level1custom Gear. This was also my first masking project which was more of a challenge than I expected. Looking forward to trying something like this with epoxy! PS> the markers were for touch-ups 😃 #cnc #shapeoko #signMaking #cncwoodworking

Surfing around and I see a lot of fellow #woodwork

Surfing around and I see a lot of fellow #woodworkers doing their own spin on the American flag. So I was inspired to design a #Canada flag 🇨🇦 for my shop. This milled flag is actually 3 different heights. Done with 1/4 flat, and both a 60° ( for the long slopes) and 90° for the shorter slopes. I wasn't going to sand it but I wasn't happy with the single color version. Once I did start sanding, I was very happy with the result. I'll look forward to doing this again on a hardwood, or maybe as an inlay. 🤔 Just one glitch around the 'S'. Not sure what happened there. #woodworking #cnc #shapeoko #woodenFlag #canada #trueNorth #strongAndFree #funWithWood #wheredTheTimeGo

They've all been gifted now, but these were a pre-Christmas #woodworking project.. mini squirrel picnic tables. In the end (and pre #cnc) I built a jig to bowl out the table tops. Now I may build one just to see how easy the bowling out could be! 😃 #squirrelpicnictable #woodworkingProject #woodcrafts #wood

Super happy with how this one turned out. Metal textured spray paint on pine. Was going to add a yellow background but @joshuamulloy and I agree that it looks great as it is. PS> I used to be the real boy wonder, now I'm just Robin 😝 #shapeoko #cnc #batman

Dust boot mishap.. would have been nicer with the border. 😕 Oh well, still learning and playing with different finishes. The second one is a stone spray but came off very light on pine. #shapeoko #cnc #signmaker
