CNC SLUG: Adirondack Chair Demo
July 29th, 4 – 9 PM
CMS’ CNC Shopbot router is an incredibly versatile machine that can be used to make everything from furniture to puzzles, to guitars to sculptures. To help create a more intensive learning environment around the Shopbot, CMS will be creating a meetup group, the CNC Shopbot SLUG (Super Learner User Group) for users to show-off their creations and talk about their projects.
Join CMS member Scott Schafer as he cuts out a Adirondack chair of his own design. The project takes approximately four hours to cut, we will begin around 4 PM and have a SLUG Meetup at 6 PM to chat about Scott’s project experience, design, tips and tricks and future SLUG events and projects.
CNC S.L.U.G events are open to CMS members and to past attendees of Intro to CNC Routing. Learn more about CMS Membership here.
