Some really nice setups...........mine is spread throughout the house~  :)  I plan on having just one room for all the business stuff.......but right now there is not enough room.  Half of our bedroom is office (computers and cutter), family room holds my banner material and 9' work table...and the heat press moves to the kitchen as it's the only plug we can use that doesn't blow all the fuses in the house!  :huh:

Nice homemade NC router!  What are you using for the controller and software?

I use Mach 3 to control the machine and Rhino 3D and Vcarve Pro for design. Pretty accurate for a machine made of plywood, iron gas pipe and rollerblade bearings.

Wow, firemalt, your vinyl rack is IDENTICAL to the one I built.  I'll post some pics in a bit.

Ursine, what hardware controller are you using to connect the servos to the pc?

Here is my lair..  I will confess, I did just clean it, so it is much neater than usual.

You can see the 50" roll of white 651 that I will probably never have a use for, until I sell it or cut it down to 24".

Also, in the garage is my IR panel I just got for my to-be-completed conveyor dryer.

A piece of plywood, 16' round piece cut down, and some wheels. Under $40, and it'll hold about a total of 25 rolls of vinyl. Even with 24" rolls on there, it fits perfectly under my work space.

Yours is a bit nicer than mine, I used PVC (stupidly) for the tubes and its not the most sturdy contraption ever..

How do you keep the dowels from falling through the holes?

Here's my little knot hole right after painting. It is not usually this clean.

Here's a cabinet maker's trick that is 100's of years old. Cut  a slot in the dowel the depth of the plywood. Once you put the dowel in with glue, drive a wedge into the slot to spread the dowel apart. Wooden hammer handles are done this way but with metal wedges.

aries58... just set your vinyl roll on top of the 2 rollers.  :huh:

You know that was the first thing I thought, but with that setup I could have my black and white on the rollers, which is what I use most often.  Then if I need another color I could sit it on top of the black and white.  Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....  pics tomorrow.

That's exactly what I do. Black and white on the rollers and whatever else I use just gets set on top of the black and white rolls.

Here's my setup.  I just moved everything into my basement from the garage.  Junebug attacks were starting to happen out there at night.
