CNC Project: Making a routed sign

I just made my first routed sign using a ShopBot. I took a few photos
during the course of the project and have posted them at the link
below.

Frank...

In a nutshell, I had a wild urge to mass-produce solar heating panels
and high-end woodworking benches - and decided that the 'Bot offered a
number of advantages:

[1] CAD/CAM/CNC allow extremely rapid prototyping.
[2] I could achieve consistantly higher quality than with other
methods.
[3] Labor costs are minimized.
[4] I could capitalize on math/software/control system experience.
[5] CNC production capacity is wonderfully scalable.

Thanks for posting. It will be interesting to see what you are doing with
the ShopBot in the future. Can you share your proces for deciding that a
ShopBot was needed/wanted in your shop?
