Farking cool!
How big is your router bed?
can be so anal! Can you explain how you did it?
50" x 100" General/Gorilla with a 3HP Elte spindle. (psssst...bought it to do undermount sink cut-outs in solid surface countertops..*chuckles*)
I took a sketch that the owner did, a rough outline of what he wanted with "the feel of the company logo" He is in all aspects 'an engineer' and wanted a 'mechanical' look. I then created the file in Adobe Illustrator, exported it to Vectric Aspire and created the tool-paths. First I cut the foam

It was a trade. His boys helpe me with two quartz countertop installations. 975# for one, 1375# for the other... so I guess I made a few hundred.
You'd make more money if you had fewer friends. ;)
Rand again in 2011....2012.... etc.....
