I got some great looking pictures of the CNC version of the WoodMarvels.com Ford Model T. Richard did a great job assembling this model, looks great!

I’ve spent the past week and a half redesigning (laser to CNC isn’t as straight forward as I thought it would be) and cutting and assembling model after model thanks to my handy ShopBot Desktop machine and just in time… the weather has gone from cool to just cold up here in Canada! The CNC projects are coming along nicely – hoping to have a stream of them released within the coming days… but here is the largest CNC project [...]
