Laser?
We learned while cutting the panels for the Mizzen sail; the really small one, that measuring and cutting the each panel correctly is very important and it takes a long time. We already have the shapes for each panel in CAD so wouldn’t it be dandy to cut them on the CNC Table. They are actually too big to cut … Read More

Tinka eats lots of bananas (yes, seriously.. the Basset loves bananas). … Read More
