Oooh...look at me...I can make really thin shavings by hand.

I got a boatload of thin shavings over here, pal.

Is that a handmade by CNC? Looks like we can close this thread down now. . .

Sure he cut the hand with CNC but look at all the work he has left to cut it out!
He will then need to sand and shape the fingertips by HAND!!!
CNC seems pretty useless to me for making hands.

I hear he kept putting off the design work because he wasn't quite sure how to approach the project. Finally he decided to knuckle down and finger it out.

Now if you could get your CNC to make a hand plane, that would be sweet.

I have no doubt that Stuart can make a plane on his CNC - knowing how to use it is another matter.

That kinda gives me the creeps. I think that was actually a compliment to the work.

Actually if you do it right, both legs up and your ankles crossed.

What about "hand played"? I can't believe how much time I wasted before I invested in one of these:

32nd notes? I haul them to the landfill by the truckload.

With ample time to read my hand plane manuals...except they're all in Latin so...

For someone that speaks CNC fluently, Latin should be a piece of cake. bliss

With both legs up and you're ankles crossed, of course!

If I could spend some time with my feet up and my legs crossed, I would have time to figure out what to do about this supernumerary nipple on my foot.

That's not really my foot. Or my supernumerary nipple. But it is freaky.

My bad.

Good thing I didn't post this disaster. Could have closed the thread down:

Oops.
