Cutting Cabinets on a CNC Router

Hello everyone. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about a fantastic product, which I feel very privileged to be involved with — CAMaster cobra CNC router. This machine can be used for a lot of different purposes in the field of manufacturing. But, I would like to focus on one specific niche that this CNC router is filling right now — computerized cabinetmaking.

Kitchen Cabinets Designed in 3-D Using a Cabinet Software Package

The process of computerized cabinetmaking goes by several different names. Some people call it nested-based manufacturing. Some people call it screen-to-machine production. Really, it’s all of these things. The basic concept is this: you design a room, including all the cabinets shelves. Everything in three dimensions. Then, you pitch it to the customer. If the customer likes it, and he likes the pricing which you generated from the automatically generated cut lists, then you press a button, and the machine cuts out all the parts. All that’s left to do after that is to assemble the cabinets.

You can learn more about CNC cabinet manufacturing with CNC routers at www.cnccabinets.com . also, there is a wide array of very educational videos there to inform you about the process, how it works, what type of return on investment you can expect, and other important factors.

Ever wanted to build your own electric guitar? How would you cut out the body? Well, you could do this by hand. It would take a considerable amount of time and effort to do so. Or, you could cut it using your own CNC router.

What is a CNC router? Well, let’s not get too deep into details of what a CNC router is right now. Just watch this video and see one of the many things a CNC router can do.

Laughter – The Best Medicine?

You ever wonder why some people have the “strangest” laugh? It’s infectious, isn’t it? Well, a friend of mine sent me a link to watch this video on YouTube entitled “Dad At The Comedy Barn”. It is nothing short of hilarious! So funny it cannot be explained in words. You have to see this… er… hear it, I mean. The funny part begins about a minute or two after the video begins. Trust me, it’s worth the wait!

Rushing Headlong Into the Linux World

A couple years ago, I tinkered with the Linux OS, but for one purpose only, and it turned out to be way more effort to learn than I was willing to put in at the time. The last few days I have really been amazed to see how far things have come.

The last couple days, I have been using a Linux distribution called Ubuntu. I find it every bit as good as, if not better than, any Windows OS thus far. I am only inches away from migrating to Linux completely!

Linux on a USB Drive?

Well, today I decided to learn a little about Linux. I don’t know exactly where to begin, so, I searched google for the term “linux”. Sounds logical, huh? Let’s see where that gets me…

Well, I came across linux.com. Once there, I started reading about some of the different linux distributions. What I found really interested me, a particular Linux distribution called DSL (Damn Small Linux). DSL is a linux distribution which is small enough to fit on a business card sized CD, and run on a machine as small as a 486 with 16Mb of RAM. This interests me because I think it would be cool to set up a Linux system to boot from a USB drive.

As it turns out, you can even run DamnSmallLinux (DSL) from within Microsoft Windows using a type of virtual machine. This is a good way to check out DSL without a large investment of time and energy.

Hi folks. My name is Josh Glenn. I have set up this blog to tell you about new and exciting things that may be of interest to you: Things having to do with some of my interests and hobbies; Things like music, audio recording, video production, photography, and more.

First, I’ll share something interesting with you. I am a guitarist and enjoy music immensely. Let me ask you: How many of you would like to learn to play guitar? I bet you wish you had the time to really apply yourself and learn. Here is a video I ran across the other day on google video of a young girl from China playing a classical piece by Paganini. I am very impressed with her ability and proficiency. Maybe you will be, too!
