Mad Machinist Masterpieces
If a picture is worth 1000 words, by our count, [Ryan Commbes] has said 1.68×10^6 different things about his custom robot, airsoft, and monster truck builds. While we’re not ones to pick favorites, we agreed his Alpine TPG-1 (picture at the top) build is a step above the rest. Sadly, the forums with his build log doesn’t seem to be loading, but he says the basic process if you wanted to make your own is to gather pictures, measure, and create.

CNC Project Roundup
We asked for CNC projects, and wow did you guys deliver!
First up is [J-J Shortcut’s] MDF based CNC. He’s made three thus far, with the most recent costing about 180 euro and taking 2 months to build.
[Qwindelzorf] has also constructed a multitude of CNC machines including this industrial size router and this smaller miller.
Finally, [Mick’s] large steel CNC which just made its first cut only a week ago!
Keep up the great work guys, CNC machines are not easy to build and your accomplishments are ones for the record books.
