About this title

Synopsis

If you’ve recently purchased a CNC machine for your shop, or are just wanting to learn more about using one for woodworking and other crafts before you take the plunge, this is the book for you. You’ll learn the basics behind the sometimes mystifying world of these fantastic machines, how to design your projects, which tools to use, how to painlessly convert your designs into language the CNC can understand, and pick up some tips on getting started in the shop and using your CNC safely. You’ll find everything in simple non-technical language, that will move you from Newbie to Novice in easy-to-understand steps.

About the Author

Prof. Henry's business card says, "Damsels rescued. Dragons slain. No reasonable request denied ... unless the dragon's really big." Carved Signs and Mechanical Marvels come forth from the fertile mind of The Professor. When he isn't rescuing damsels and slaying dragons he can be found working on new things in his secret lair ... or taking a nap. (The Professor isn't as young as he used to be.) Although The Professor has been a woodworker for over sixty years, he has embraced CNC machining as his go-to tool for making gears and parts for his automaton artworks, as well as the signs he makes out of wood and weatherproof high-density urethane. He's a Contributor on RouterForums.com where folks with all levels of woodworking skills hang out to share projects, and seek or dispense advice, and is a firm believer in passing knowledge on to others. Most of the Professor's projects embrace his fundamental philosophy that "Life is short so have fun."
