WELCOME!


It is hard to believe that it was only seven years ago I witnessed a CNC router in action for the very first time. I was fascinated and simply had to have one! Although I had been in the creative end of the three dimensional sign business for most of my life I didn't really know what I would do with one - but I just knew it could do fantastic stuff.

Through extensive research I quickly found out that with the relative simplicity of EnRoute, CNC routers were capable of just about anything imaginable. This journal will chronicle that journey to date and continue each week with two or three entries as we continue to explore just what is possible with this wonderful software... -dan

Back to the future

The USSC sign show in Atlantic city was great fun.  I met lots of great folks during the two days I was at the show making my presentations.  There seems to be a lot of sign shops interested in making three dimensional signs and that is a very good thing.


Today it was back to the work at hand. The thick glass for the raptor desk had been delivered in my absence and I was eager to see that room finished up. The metal part of the desk weighed in at a hefty 312 pounds and the top weighed 50 lbs more than that! We rounded up everyone in the office to carefully lift the glass into place, line up the pieces and then fastened it in place. With the glass wiped clean of finger prints and the iMac set in place it looked AWESOME - just like I imagined it would. The rusty red hues looked great with the similarly colored leather furniture and the rich cork flooring. 


The completed room made me grin a big old grin. Mt client came in just as I finished taking the last of the pictures. His grin was about the same size as mine.
