Show and Tell - let us know what you're doing!

My wife is an embroiderer/felt maker. I also earn brownie points by making odds and sods for her use.

Really, this kind of thing just emphasises my point about how useful a CNC router is for fairly ordinary projects - would have taken ages to do something like by hand.

Neale,
Christie used to make beautiful silk and nuno-felted scarves and shawls and played with needle-felting for a while. I even made an animated film with needle felted characters! I'm definitely with you on the brownie-points and you might recognise the joints on the boxes below. The wavy stick is used for decorative weaving.

It can save a lot of hand work doing this stuff on the CNC router, especially if you don't have a range of other machine tools like a table saw for example and we have been known to design stuff on the laptop over a glass of something in the evening and then I can cut the parts next morning. Very civilised!

Magicniner,
I like the engraver holder, very neat. For the benefit of other readers, I bought an engraver tool which already includes the springloaded holder and fits into a 12mm collet. Just remember NOT to start the spindle when using it.
