Great response!
I would guess that most of our shops look exactly like yours even on their best days (I have not posted the whole SIDE of my shop that has tools and boxes pushed up against it!).
That is great to know about the coasters. I just finished a set that I left the Maple at 3/4 for fear they would warp.
Looking forward to more videos!
Ha yes I would describe my shop as “in progress” suspect it might be that way for a long time! AS for the maple coasters, I prefer the chunkier look at 3/4 inch - that’s what all my previous ones have been 
Someone actually has a finished shop? I was not aware there was such a thing!!
Thanks for the link, I did read the several forests already in several states. I can’t remember the article source I read last week.
And lose the excuse to spend money ? Not
I’m starting to upgrade my Shapeoko 5 Pro cabinet. Two things are next…BitZero holder and this. My Rii holder. A few changes I would make, but this will work quite well!!
Butternut Wood (like a lot of the trim)
Dark Walnut Stain
Two pieces glued together
I am going to get brass screws to permanently attach it. But for now these two Bostitch finish nails will do

Not much CNC work on this thing besides the V-carved “Texas” & the pocketed holes for the key slot hangers on the back. Made out of 1x4 pine with 1/8" backer board on the back & I just cut down 1/8" plexiglass for the front with a jigsaw using a Diablo plexiglass blade… (which man oh man plexiglass at HD has gone up (($$$)) since the last I bought/used it, & even more when you gotta buy 2 sheets cause of incompetence 
…. I didn’t wrap masking tape on the first one where I was cutting & when I got close to the end of the cut it cracked 1/2 way across the whole sheet. Talk about flushing $$ down the toilet, but that’s life I reckon…. live & learn). Anyways Not really much to show, but I managed to remember to take pictures most of the way through so I figured I’d share it on here with my Carbide 3D Family.

Whatever mistakes you made the final product is what matters. Plus you never go wrong displaying the Great State of Texas. FYI if you look at the right hand side of Texas the border goes straight about a third of the way down and then starts following the Sabine River (Toledo Bend Lake). I live right there where Texas starts following the Sabine River about a mile inside the border with Louisiana. May God Bless the USA and Texas. 
Now that’s far East TX.
I’m a hair N of McKinney TX (N of Dallas).
& you are correct you can never go wrong with displaying anything TX. We’re proud Native Texans.
Granted they make kick me out of here (cause it’s not CNC related, though it is still woodworking) but earlier this summer (spring really) I built an 11.5’ TX Windmill (stand) too. The windmill itself I just out it together. This thing is my pride & joy of my yard art.
We have a group of friends that does a winery tour each summer. This year we changed it up and went to Kentucky and visited several distilleries on the Bourbon Trail. I put together this flight board and glasses for each couple. The boards are hard maple with a walnut inlay and the glasses are engraved with the names of the distilleries we went to on one side and the couple’s initials on the opposite side.
I recently finished a fun project for my friend — a double-sided electric guitar inspired by the Frankstar/Van Halen style.
I normally do not make true mechanical parts, but I had the opportunity to make this.
It does not pass dimensional inspection, but good learning experience.
I made a bone head decision on the flip that cost me thickness. I also noticed I am under cutting diameters.
To be continued …
@jtclose
Interesting project, please keep us up to date.
Many times when I convert an image to an svg it has two lines like the outer diameter. You want to delete the inner line and not the outer line. That may not be your issue but I have found that issue on some conversions to svg and import into CC for me.
In Inkscape all tracing will wrap around a pixel based line except for the center line option.
Sometimes the center line option results are not very good, but worth a try if that is what you are looking for.
I started with a light mod to the Nomad LP Vise. Needed to hold round stock.
Then I loaded up a part I started on my lathe, and turned it into a valve body.
No threadmills small enough to hit those 3-56 holes, so I might need to pick up a few before the next round.
Also need to make some orifices - 1/8" OD and teeny tiny ports, so fixturing will be a fun experiment.
A friend saw my earlier signs and wanted one as a gift for her son in law. Being a Cowboys fan, I wasn’t sure if my machine would agree to cut the Eagles logo but after promising that this would be the only time …
Awesome job on the color matching and crisp lines…even if it is an eagle 
After further review it turns out most diameter dimension are within .005" ( high side ).
My flip mistake costs me at least .010 in height which effected the vanes and OD flange.
Lesson learned and the panic that I have inaccuracies have subsided. Whew …
