[M004] Double Edge Router Assembled!
One evening of CAD. One evening of CAM. One evening of CNC. And it fit together (quite well). This is just held together with precisely located wooden dowel pins. We will add screws tomorrow.
The only missing piece is the actual guide for running the blocks through. That is separate so that it can be “dialed in” to the perfect cutting depth.

Working on another machine to speed up yet another tedious workshop process. Think of it as a special router table that takes 2 routers set to 45 degree angles. The guide (not shown) will allow precise alignment of the work piece AND cover the cutters to prevent injury.
New Sign for Sinking Valley Woodworks
A new part for an old Bentley restoration
At Sinking Valley Woodworks, we take on odd jobs from time to time. One of these odd jobs was some car parts for an old Bentley restoration. Wood was a much more common material in cars in that era.
This particular piece is what goes at the top of the windshield and connects to the roof. It has curves on all faces, and compound curves on most. The new part was made out of Ash, carved on a CNC router, and finished by hand.
Below is some before and after pictures.
Coffee & Friends
Here is a nice sign we made on the CAMaster Cobra 508 ATC CNC Router.
- Mill down a piece of Mahogany
- Spray it with a cream colored spray paint (very lightly)
- Route the letters into it with a 90 degree V bit
- Rub the sign with boiled linseed oil
