Business Card

When you get a haircut the barber always ask how your doing & what you've been up to. The barbershop I use is all beauticians who found they can make more money just cutting men's hair. When I describe the cnc router to them, they don't have a clue! I made this business card , which is 4 time the size of a regular card, as a Christmas present for the co-owner who cuts my hair. It is Peruvian Walnut 7.5" W x 4.5" H.

Nice work.

While I've had a couple projects that could have been done better with a CNC router, I had no real interest as I didn't really even have my own router. My interest may be increasing now. I've been wondering if the gears I made recently couldn't have really benefited from using CNC.

Very nice Bob and a great idea! I just cut something for my barber of 30 years and he often watches my videos. I may borrow your idea and cut something for him similar to this you've done.

The gear shown in you uploads would be easy to cut on a cnc if there could be a slight radius at the bottom of the teeth, ie 0.0625", depending on the endmill used for the finish cut. The outside teeth angles are not a problem. If the radius is a problem, the gears could be cut on a cnc and the bottom area finished off on a bandsaw.

Yes, I think that would work. I did clean up and square off the bottoms of the teeth using the bandsaw, so even if the radius was a problem that could be done again. I'd really rather just design the gears to work with the radius.

I'm working on a post to start a thread on this but given holiday activities with family, I'm not sure just when I'll be posting it.

Nice work Bob. Really like the multi layer look
Nice carving, I'm sure she will be happy to display it.
