historical restoration

This is Great work!

Of COURSE using a CNC machine is woodworking! That’s like saying a mortising machine isn’t woodworking because you COULD have used a hammer and chisel.

This look fantastic – you should take great pride in bringing back a house like that to it’s former glory.

yeah man, that’s great stuff. Nothing wrong with bringing new technology to an old art form. I was just sitting here trying to imagine how it would have been done in the old days, how many different pieces of wood, how to get all the bends and arches, etc..

nice product, I love victorians!

Looks good, which is really all that matters. Nice job.

Preserving history is good, thanks.

Looks great. I have to agree with Bob, the tools don’t make the man. it’s the mans vision and talent

-- check, recheck then check again

I’m always looking for better and newer tools to make my work better, faster and easier. CNC is just another tool that would fit right in! Forget what people say about new fangled tools. Michaelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci would love those tools!

Some people have all the tools and I guess they should look what they can do. Wonderfully executed restoration.

A very good project, a lot of work, and good results! Milwaukee, in the snow?
It’s also nice to see a forum where no ones poo poos CNC work like so many others.

Of course it’s a tool. If I could afford it, there would be one setting in my shop for sure. Congrats on owning one
