Did you think this was a joke?
The
blue beast started about 2 years ago when we replaced the wobbly gantry on a ShopBot
(see above Rafi's head in first pic). That worked rather well, so we built a second, longer gantry, and added a table and controller. Then got nagged for plans and a brandname was born for the download website. Don't quite know where this is going yet, but enjoying the ride so far!
(If truth be told, the major goal was to give our son a foot up in establishing his own business after school - that has worked really well.)
