With age catching up on me and not very much able to carry much load, I move with technology. With a cnc, I can sit for hours to make designs and cut with a machine. Takes a lot of learning curve to overcome though.
Finally making my first 3d file, I decided to make a curved speaker front face.
After an hour, the speaker mount takes shape...

Another hour passes by and the curved front begins to show...
Image
Another hour still and roughing isn't done yet but nearly there, I might be cutting too conservatively since I want to avoid chipping or breaks in the material.
Image
Roughing complete, time to rest for another day. Tomorrow, finish cutting begins.
