You are welcome! Beautiful. Do you sell these? No hurry on the laser etch, but it does sound cool!

The scorpion took about 3 hrs. of router time (plus wear and tear on bits). To be cost effective, I'd have to charge about $150.00 per piece (Only one taker so far.) If I could make a mold and then do aluminum (or bronze) castings, I might be able to cut the costs greatly.

Wow, I am impressed. Very cool savage-style design and perfect for that sharp metal finish. You're brillant!

Thanks, Marcus! My avocado attempts are still at the beginner stage, but I seem to have a knack for the metal work.
Best wishes to you and the family!

Is this what you do? Machining? Here I thought you were just using the CNC for wood and Acrylic not metal. I am so damn jealous cause I have to do all mine with just hand tools. *sniff* *pout*

Most of the time I think mass production sucks..namely cause that's what I have to do. Here I thought you had a CNC router at home. Either way I am still just a tad jealous. Namely cause my muscles and joints pay the price with hand tools.
Work is different, but I don't use any of the engraving or milling equipment. Usually I am stuck with the saws, hydraulic drop hammers and torches.
I would use the saw at work to cut some of my home projects but I don't think it would be as delicate as a 4.0 blade and jewelers saw. Somebody tried to convince me that a drumel would work just as well, not sure about that...
Well thanks for sharing the information.

I agree about mass production, if only because my mind is always ready to latch on to a new creative challenge (often in the middle of a previous project. LOL)
Actually I do have my own router, just not yet in operation. Limited space (and the noise level) in my residential neighborhood present problems. If a time arises when my employment with my current company ends, I will probably open a shop to pursue my craft independently. Til then, my employer graciously permits side-work as long as it does not conflict or interfere with day-to-day business.
As one who has worked with both jewelers saws and Dremels, I would invariably choose the saw as a better cutting tool since it affords greater control over the cutting path. On the other hand, the Dremel is a real time saver for carving, sanding, etc.

wow that's awesome 
you did draw it in autoCAD? I draw in autocad myself, but more architectural stuff
I now see that this program can more than I imagined
maybe a dragon would be nice too?

I even use AutoCad as my word processor. LOL Yes, it is quite versatile.
I do have a Kirin, but no dragons as yet. *makes note to start one*
