		<description><![CDATA[If you want to see the design process I went through with the building of the WoodMarvels.com Semi-trailer Truck I released a week or so ago, this video is for you! I&#8217;m still playing around with the concept of how to best present this, with the move to 720p, my screen shot resolutions weren&#8217;t made at high enough resolution so next time around, it should be much clearer. Also, I&#8217;ve stopped reversing the music on these videos&#8230; feels rather sinister [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After a lot of testing with several friends who own and one that actually builds CNC routers, I&#8217;m happy to announce that the bugs have all been worked-out with DXF file formats coming to WoodMarvels.com. What has WoodMarvel.com&#8217;s DXF files been tested on? Corel9, Corel12, Corel X4, Rhino4, PartWorks, VCarvePro, Cut2d, Sketchup 7, AutoCAD 2008, AutoCAD 2009 and DoubleCad. Odds are, if you have a CNC machine, you have at least one of these programs from which my files will [...]]]></description>

At first, it rendered in a day so I decided to do a second part flying through some clouds&#8230; well, taking 45 minutes to render each frame (there are 400) means the product is delayed till sometime next week but in the meantime, here is a screen shot.

After several days of computer problems over the past few days, here is an updated screen shot of this upcoming model. Why design a Wooden Mars Rover in the first place? I began this project to both challenge myself mentally as to what was truly possible using only 2D plywood pieces and, most importantly, to learn more about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For as long as I can remember, I wanted to show how I designed the stuff you see on WoodMarvels.com. From taking screen shots to videos of the whole design process&#8230; nothing seemed to work for me. Although designing to me is fun, I&#8217;m sure to the outside observer, it&#8217;s a rather dull and illogical process &#8211; especially when you consider I do everything straight from my head without any sketches or plan (though I use to when I first [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While I&#8217;m waiting for my latest project to finish rendering, which will be sometime tomorrow &#8211; I began working on a very complicated model that I&#8217;m sure will be by far the most complex things I&#8217;ve designed so far. A wooden version of the Spirit / Opportunity Rovers currently residing on Mars. As my only material is wood (by choice) and all my parts must be cut out of 2D &#8211; I think this is a great opportunity to really [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since I discovered the nuances of laser cutting the designs found on WoodMarvels.com, I&#8217;ve become very good at optimizing files to make them affordable using as much board space as well as few doubled-up lines as possible. This means that I can usually cut my production costs in half as I wrote about earlier here: How Jon Cantin shaved 71% off his making costs The Advent of CNC on-demand manufacturing About a month ago, I started selling my optimized EPS [...]]]></description>

One of my first, more complicated models was the Medieval Castle Walls which due to the manner it was made (before I even knew of laser cutting possibilities) it could never be updated without completely remodeling the entire product from scratch. Here is the old Medieval Castle Walls animation. Well, I am just about done completely [...]]]></description>
