What do you mean by feathers? The springs?
Milt
Hi Milt,
Yes of course springs. I don't now why I wrote feathers (that has something to do with birds).

Hi Wendy
Thanks for the pictures.
I've seen the one of Hessel a few months ago.
I'm building a nose by my self, but due lack of time I'm not finished yet.
Best regards

Hi Wendy,
Brilliant piece of work as usual, beautifully made as well.
I'm in the process of choosing a CNC machine, which one do you use? did you find it a steep learning curve?
Regards
Joe.
Hi Joe,
My machine is a Colinbus. It's a Belgian manufacturer. I'm happy with it after I changed a few smaller things. If you buy one make sure the structure is very solid, that is absolutely necessary together with a quality router.
The learning curve was not that easy, but if you have a problem we can help.

Hi Wendy,
Thanks for that, I've been looking at the Zenbot 24" x 16" machine from America, it has a good write up and no real complaints to it's accuracy.
They advised me to use the Bosch GKF 600 Palm Router Kit with it, this is the stock tool holder they supply. Have you heard of this machine?
I see there are no prices on the Colinbus website, if you don't mind me asking what do they cost?
Regards
Joe.
Here is the initial thread I made on the Dutch Elektor forum.
Although in Dutch, the pictures are clear I think.
The construction is cheaper ( only a few euro's) because I used as simple gas pipe.
This was possible because I use (for engraving) a small motor (Proxxon IB/E) with a collet of only 20 mm (i.c.t. the euro collet of the Kress: 43 mm).

In this thread there is also a movie where the springs can be seen at work.

Hey Joe,
Here is a link to the order page of the "Profiler", that is the machine I have. I see that it is cheaper then what I have paid for it.

You will have to add a good router and mounting because the router that comes with the package is very bad quality.

Hi Wendy,
Thanks for that but I think I'm going to go for the Zenbot, only because it has a larger work surface. Once it arrives I'll probably bombard you with questions.. (if you don't mind of course) ;).
Regards
Joe.
