A new addition to the Family!

There has been no awesomeness at Oxenham design since the desk finished! We've been cutting the paint stencils for the township on our Techno cnc. We are able to cut ten of these .080" at a time. The current bike lane stencils actually consist of 3 pcs each. Thats a lot of cardboard! We just got another order for 200 chevron stencils for the highways as well.

However, today the lack of awesomeness changed! Woo-hoo!

At around noon, a giant crate showed up to the loading door. I knew it was coming, but it was still pretty awesome! This crate was pretty huge, at around 4' cubed, it was a monster.

I bet you want to know what's inside.........................................

Are you still wondering??????? After our trip to New York to visit Techno cnc, 2101 Jericho Turnpike is my new favorite geographical location.

So back to the magical OSB box at the shop.....

It's our new addition to the family, a Techno cnc LC 3024 tabletop machine! YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
The packing was amazing, I don't think anything shifted, even a millimeter.

This is going to be amazing for us. It will be so awesome to be able to run 2 machines now with the accuracy that we need, at the speeds we need. Our plan is to be able to physically show people, when we teach our techniques at various seminars, how user friendly, accurate and rigid these Techno machines really are. After looking the machine over for any damage that can occur when shipping something of this size and weight, it becomes even more apparent how well these machines are constructed. Not only are the materials top notch, the overall fit and finish leaves the competition in the dust! This thing is tank.
We had a delivery to make this afternoon, so I wasn't able to get it set up at all. But while we were out on the delivery, I picked up a heavy duty steel table with locking castors, so I will be able to move it around depending on the jobs were running.
I'm in cnc router heaven for a second time this year.
I want to thank everyone who helped handle all the shipping, freight and duties to bring this into the country.

The desk is done!

We've been cutting the bike lane stencils for the township, as well as working slowly on the desk. I've also been in the process of transferring all of my files to a new PC. This has been a little slow for me.
I decided to move into 2013 with a new laptop running win7. I know, I know. I was using xp right up until now. Rock solid it was, and as 90% of my software is stuck in the 32 bit lifestyle, there wasn't much point in jumping on 7. However, I did want to take advantage of multithreading, plus the new machine has 3 gb of dedicated video ram! so now was the time. 7 still feels weird to me, but I'll survive!

 We've been doing the final bits and pieces on the desk when there's time here and there.

I guess I'll have to get rid of the leftover Coor's cans. They look a little um......alcoholic-ish!
Now the desk is done, I've started some of the single shelves for the walls. Who knows when they'll be finished, soon I hope.
An associate stopped by and remarked about the desk: "Must be nice to have all this free time to build a big desk" I had to laugh a little!

Mythraic stone update!

Last year sometime, if you remember, we did an ancient stone sculpture of the God Mythra.
One of the post titles was aptly named "Greek Gods, Vectric, and my sweet, sweet Techno cnc router" :)

If you do a blog search for in the search bar, you should get to the build.

I happened to find the trailer for the film on Twitch film.com. YAAY!

I think it's going to be a killer movie, I can hardly wait to see it. Although I didn't see our sculpture in the preview, I'm sure it made the final cut........................I hope
