Making a cube
« on: July 25, 2010, 10:28:38 PM »
I have always wanted to try and make one of these, they look cool, maybe the next one I will cut the boxes loose I would also like to do some other shapes on the mill.

I remember seeing them when I first started machining. They look cool as hell... There is a website where the guy made small ones into Christmas tree ornaments. Bob Warfield did a few on his site as well.

One day I may get to one.
