Peter (my son) is also entering a piece in the 2016 Sign Challenge. He says someone has to keep me in line. :) It was a chance for him to learn and practice EnRoute software and also get up to speed at operating both the MultiCam router and plasma cutter. It is the first time he has worked on the high tech stuff. I am amazed at how fast he became proficient at designing in the software and operation machines. I looked over his shoulder and coached him a little when he was stuck the first few days but now he is totally off and running - at full speed!
Peter is building an automatic, artistic android with steampunk styling. The years that he spent as an animator came in handy as he adds that spark of life to the mechanical marvel!
