CNC Manual Router Table When I was designing my "Ultimate Workbench" I had initially wanted to build in a router table - but then I got to thinking that I already have a router table in my CNC machine! I just needed a way to manually run boards if I wanted to - and here's how I built the manual router table for my CNC machine Read the Full Story
Ultimate Workbench I'm building myself an "Ulitmate Workbench" that will house all of my tools and make things a lot easier around the shop! Read the Full Story

WELCOME TO THE BACKYARD WORKSHOP!

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!

If your interested in graphics, video, or my filmmaking projects - check out my other site for those hobbies at Geeks Gone Bad and any projects that over lap (for instance when I start making inexpensive filmmaking gear) I'll post them at both sites :)

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


Need Custom Parts?If you're looking to have some custom parts made on the CNC - give me a shot at it! I can mill wood, plastic, aluminum, or I can cast your part in aluminum as well! I'm always looking for something to make and I love a good challenge! This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
