Last Saturday I finished my first program on the CNC. I didn't get a chance to run it until today, but here's the video of it!


Any CNC programmer can tell I didn't do this quite right, but hey it worked! :) I wrote the program entirely by entering X, Y, and Z coordinates.



Last Saturday after work I helped rake leaves, which included some fun with the little guys. :)


Notice Winston at the end of the video. I think he's got some leaves in his mouth! :)

My Kind of S10!

Now this is my kind of S10! :) Uh, I'm talking about the big one... And could we make that a 6.5L Diesel? Haha...

Work, lots and lots of work.

Over the past couple weeks there's been a lot going on. It started for the most part while working nights in Chicago laying tile in a bank down there...

Driving down in my truck is always fun! I love driving in the city!

Here I am on a scaffold laying tile in el Baño...

Oh, I didn't mention it's called 'Banco Popular', so we spoke as much Spanish as we could. :p The rooftop view at night is really neat!

And there is one of the bathrooms that I tiled. Thanks Aaron for all the cuts! Aaron also drove my truck home one night so I was able to see it on the road for the first time! That was pretty cool. :)

Last Wednesday I went from working nights in Chicago to working in Woodstock at Phoenix Woodworking, on a shift starting at 6:00am. That took some getting used to! I'm enjoying it there, and have been spending a lot of time learning/operating the CNC. Here are a couple videos of that.
