Todays project is most likely the simplest I have done on this blog, and yet it made me think, mainly because I don’t do this kind of file very often. I know there are simpler ways to do this job, but I don’t know how to do it. Rather than look it up in the manual I decided to just do it the way I knew it would work.

One of Janis’ concerns was just how big the front and rear windows of the house would be.
Making the pieces puzzle shaped
This morning I fired up the MultiCam to cut the pieces for the window bucks. There were sixty-four pieces in all, cut from 25 sheets of half inch plywood. In spite of having other projects on the go that distracted me the task was done in less than two hours
First pieces of the puzzle arrive
We’ve routed a lot of Precision Board into some pretty wild signs over the years. In the next days our MultiCam will be pressed into service once more.

As well as the work we are doing on the house we are keeping busy in the shop on customer projects as well. A recent addition to the list of upcoming projects looks to be a fun one! A friend of mine owns a small ice-cream parlor on a very busy street… actually less than a block from our place.
Jigsaw delight
It is not often I use our MultiCam to merely cut pieces. With the new house now in progress it will get pressed into service to cut shapes more often than it has in the past. The first task is to cut the window bucks or forms
Open the big magic doors!
Today was a busy day in the shop. My winter students are now full time in the shop and our son Peter has joined us for the summer as well

We’ve chosen to go with INNOTECH windows and doors for our new house. These windows are the among the greenest out there and with triple glazing on the north/road side of the house they should work exceptionally well
Wooly is done!
This sign was a whole lot of fun to do from the first inkling until it’s finish. Today the ladies put on the final glazes and then painted the lettering.
