Fridays at Chickenblog are usually about a
Moment during the week, a special moment. Today, it's about the moment
Frankenrouter came to life, a moment we've anticipated for quite some time.
Frankenrouter is the very large CNC router that Geoff imagined, designed, and built from the concrete and up. For a couple of years, between many other duties and obligations, Geoff's taken time to tinker, experiment, research, cut, weld, wire, rummage, salvage, and create. He's had long breaks, time away for work, and other projects. Geoff's been challenged and stumped, taken some do-overs, and endured some long days. William has been a frequent assistant and supporter, and we've all been waiting to see,
and hear,
Frankenrouter come to life...
One more part is on order, and may take a month to arrive... a spindle. With it, and router bits, the three axis router will be carving
cool things, making what we can design and envision in wood and foam, aluminum, too. In the meantime, Geoff and William made an ingenious little pvc tool to hold a sharpie, so we could give
Frankenrouter his first assignment:
Draw something pretty, Frank!
Video, right?
I know. I'll get on it.
