For Abe's fans, I took this picture shortly before the sign came down. I can't help but wonder if it was the original sign from the 70's.

Hope this helps somebody. I sure enjoyed them when he first posted them.

Whew... there were a lot of pictures in Darrin's post!

Progress!

And some more:

Let's see if I can get these to attach.... The fullsplice, there is allot to be said about the fullsplice cue. I think of it like a classic muscle car. It looks good and it's very tough. Building a fullsplice cue is no easy task, as it took me years to learn the methods used. I am going to take...

Your video of the sewing machine motor install on your Hightower is down. Can you repost?

Why would you think it is like particle wood? I don't have time to reach out to McDermott, but suggest you call to ask them about the wood in their cues. There are a ton of woods out there with generic, non-scientific names, and this tends to muddy the waters. That said, a quick Google Search...

I'm not sure what you're talking about for "Display Table," so I'll offer a few suggestions for Mach3. To display larger GCode, go to Function Cfg's ->Fonts to select the size & font for your DRO's, Labels, Code & Buttons. If your issue is with displaying the toolpath, try a combination of...
