Big YES to all of this! Living up to your websites name! And that pic with the eat sign, it’s so clean I thought it was a render.

Wow, all these in 2 months, that’s a lot of progress! All the projects look great too!
Did you set out to sell originally or it just happened?

OMG!!! These are all so FABULOUS!!! Excellent work!!!
I just got my machine 2 days ago and we set up shop in the basement. I have cut a small handful of things but nothing spectacular. I had so many ideas BEFORE I received the machine, and now that it is here, I just CANNOT figure out what to do next?!?!?!? LOL!
My husband fears he will never see me again unless he comes downstairs to visit.

LOL. Thanks guys!! I’m pretty sure I have an addiction to this machine now. And to answer your question… Definitely not sleeping anymore LOL
Definitely wasn’t intentional. I had planned to eventually turn it into a business but I didn’t expect it to take off this fast.

My thoughts exactly. We’ve had a lot of ideas over the last two years, and now that it is on the bench ready for IQ/OQ I can’t figure out what we want to make.

Spreadsheets! I can’t emphasize enough how much a difference this makes. Just being able to get it down on paper and then sort it by priority makes it much easier.

Normally i can pick out what abreviations mean but this one stumped me. Haha
Sorry, too many years working medical device manufacturing.
IQ - Installation Qualification (verification that the machine is installed to manufactures’ specifications; power, leveling, calibrations, & etc.)
OQ - Operational Qualification (verification that the machine is capable of functioning to manufactures’ specifications and within anticipated range of application)

Oh! That makes sense!!! Learn something new everyday
Would love to know how you did the rolling pin if you are OK sharing. I have a design for cylindrical object caddy but haven’t built it yet…

Basically trial and error. I do a pass, manually rotate to a set incriment, and then repeat. The hard part is getting it to be seamless on the last pass.

Thx… There’s a video shared here of a “caddy” that moves with the gantry, although that machine etches “top down” so that won’t work with the GF. I’m working on a similar arrangement that will work with our “bottom up” procedure.

LOL! I did one of Russ’ (sarbarmultimedia on YT) for the Redsail and was figuring out how to do it for the GF - mostly working out how to make sure it found the material reliably and didn’t throw the error on me so I couldn’t run the job.
BTW, skateboard bearings worked great on the big one. Didn’t need his dual wheel design to keep it from flexing. Hadn’t sourced anything for the GF’s smaller wheels though.

First thought is radio control model aircraft wheels…
A friend of mine makes pool cues and pens, he made a CNC router with a rotary axis. I haven’t shown him what the GF can do yet, because I’d like to have that figured out first.
