I'm making Christmas Presents this year on the homemade CNC machine! Here's the first one... A custom picture frame! Check it out...
So my wife's parents are the Ryans, they had three kids (that we know of 
) Girl - Girl - Boy
The girls married a Kocher and a Cunningham (Hey that's me!) so I made a custom picture frame that will hold a picture of each family and above each picture is the family name :)
I designed the frame completely in Artcam - laid out the locations of the text and pictures and then put a weave texture across the whole thing... As usual there are a few videos - the one's with the texture and v-carving are pretty cool to watch :)
