Can someone with a CNC machine help me with a project?
A very dear friend of mine is turning 60, he lives in the US and is an ex Harbour Patrol Captain in the US coast guard. He and his retired buddies carry on like teenages in their modified boats up and down the coast.
I am planning to make him a nice "Captains Box" and I would like the following words carved into the top.
1st option - Captain Jeffrey Chamberlain
2nd Option - Point Arguello Yacht Club
either way I would thing that someone with a CNC machine should be able to whip this up in a jiffy.
Can anyone offer their services I am happy to fling them a few bucks. I would make the box then send you the lid?
Cheers Bryan

Hi Saisay
Ummm roughly 300mm x 200mm, at this stage I have only done a rough scetch but is that too small for your machine?
I am thinking Jarah for the lid.
Cheers

Hi,
No probs SaiSay.
I should be able to assist Bryan, I am a little time poor but I am sure I can squeeze it in for you somewhere
The images I have posted are set to the actual size of 300mm x 200mm and the attached images are now in the font Blackletter686 BT.
All you have to do now is advise the size of the font in relation to the lid size then we can go from there
Cheers
Tony.

This is a sample of the font you specified. As indicated in a previous post, you would need specify the hight of the text for your job.
