HI! My name's Jamie and I've got a few hobbies I'd like to share with you! This site will be for all of my various "workshop" interests which include:
- My Homemade CNC Machines
- Mastercam, ArtCam, and Mach 3
- Woodworking Projects
- My Shopsmith Mark VII
- Metal Casting and Metalworking
- My Aluminum Foundry
I've always got a project I'm working on and I'll document the results and post pictures and videos of the process. Some of the projects that I'm working on are: My second homemade CNC machine and my aluminum foundry for designing and casting my own parts. I've also got a few woodworking projects going as well such as a desk and other furniture. I am working on a new "Ultimate Workbench" for my shop. I've also started making signs and many other parts on the CNC machine - so check out my Photo Gallery for pictures of everything I make!

Have fun checking out the site and always remember - SAFETY FIRST!
