So it's nearing the end of April and I haven't updated in a while :) That's how things go when my lazy ass is sitting on the couch ;) LOL Just kidding...
I've been working on my aluminum tilting furnace and I think I've finally gotten to where I can share what I've done! So check out that article for pictures and a long description...
I've also made an anniversary present for my wife - mostly on the CNC, but I did have to assemble and sand the pieces. I got (stole?) the idea for the "You've Captured My Heart" piece from the Vectric website - they have a free monthly project that they give away.
Unfortunately I don't have any of the Vectric software so I had to remake all the pieces - which is better anyway because it gives me some practice designing things and also the piece is unique (maybe not in idea but in execution) :)
In other news - my Band is nearing the completion of our second CD which we will release on line... One of the first songs though is finished and you can hear "Bikini Girl" (along with out first EP) at our Reverb Nation page.
In even other news... Looks like I'm not going to be getting back my Google account - so I'll start uploading all the videos - probably starting with the oldest first so it doesn't seem like the old videos are new? seems like a plan anyway :)
