It's taken me a fair bit longer than anticipated to get to this point but I finally made something on tangible on the CNC! This hold is far from perfect and the part setup leaves much to be desired but the test cuts meant once I got over the initial nerves, this thing moved along with a 1/4" endmill at 90 ipm at full 3/4" depth and 40% step over like a champ!

My name is Austin and I’ve always enjoyed building things. My childhood Christmas stockings were filled with bulk supplies of scotch tape so I didn’t use up all of my moms as I made various paper lightsabers and more. The things I wanted to build grew to be too complex for scotch tape and trial and error so I decided to study Mechanical Engineering to better understand how to make things. I specialized in mechatronics and manufacturing and I’m now about ready to graduate so I’m putting my education to work by building all the projects I haven’t had the time to do while in school. From climbing holds to signs and many other projects, I’m going to bring you along the journey through each build, and show you how I go about making everything I want to make. I hope it inspires you to get out there and build things and gives you a chuckle or two along the way. Thanks for watching!
