The Handibot can be a great tool to bring on a jobsite and put on material. I've used it to mill interesting things on larger boards that would either be impossible to get onto a larger machine or just impossible.
I've started working on some picture frames which require things to be really precise. To that end I've created this table. The idea here is to have a table that allows for clamping and jigging a variety of different size pieces. I experimented with all kinds of metal hardware. Some of it worked, and some didn't. I don't like the idea of metal being in the cutting area if I can help it either.
Charlie hacked the Maker Table into a light tracing table. Pretty cool! Want to hack your own version of the bench? If you do we'll make it and show it off at Maker Faire Bay Area. We'll also make the milling files available for anyone too.
Matt Donely of MasterSketchup.com contributed a Maker Bench hack for our open design project. Check it out!
Help us hack our maker bench! We're designing an open sourced CNC made bench for students, teachers, hackers and makers. We'll take your ideas, build a real CNC made table, and then open source the entire project so that anyone can build one of these tables.
If you've ever used 3D printing for SketchUp then you have no doubt heard of Solid Inspector.
Great news today if you are running SketchUp 2014 or 2015 because it's been updated with new features and a brand new UI. Check out ThomThom's video below. I've been using it and it works great.
Our Wikihouse design is progressing nicely. We are assembling a 1/3rd scale model. Come take a look at what is probably one of the best puzzles you'll ever assemble. (It makes a great cat house too)
New updates on the Wikihouse!
