Laser Repair's in Houston Texas

I have to give a shout out to CNC Warehouse in Houston Texas.

I had been searching high and low for repair service in the Houston Texas Area and even with months of on and off Google searches these guys never came up.  Then one day while looking for something entirely different I found them!
I gave Scott a call and low and behold someone answered the phone!!!!  There they were all the time and I finally found them.
Not only did Scott send someone out like within a day they got my machine up in running for me. Oh you just do not know how happy that makes me.
After speaking with Scott a bit I found out he sells laser machines, he also sells CNC machines...  I can tell you I will be making a purchase as soon as I've saved up 1/2 of what I need to make the purchase.
Super fast, super friendly and right around the corner.

So...to sum up...take it from me, if you are looking to purchase a laser machine try and find it locally.  You will need parts, you will need repairs and if like me you are not mechanically inclined...YOU NEED HELP!    Go to their website and check them out.

The perfect Shark HD4 with Extended Bed Workbench

Finding the perfect table for your new CNC isn't as easy as it sounds if you do not have unlimited funds that is for sure!!!  I looked for about a month for a table I could afford that would be sturdy enough for my new machine.
As you know my machine arrived yesterday :)  YAAAAAAAAAAAAA
and I still didn't have a table for this monster so...  using all the clearance lumber I purchased a few years ago and another $85.00 I made one!  Whew that is CHEAP I tell you!
I used these plans here:  Sturdy Workbench but I used the wood I had in my garage for the most part so I used 2x6 instead of 2x4's.  I also changed the size.  My workbench is 38x64" to accommodate my new monster.  :)  These plans ANYONE and I do mean ANYONE could make this bench and even if you didn't have scraps it will be much cheaper than buying one I assure you.
So here is my new monster bench!  This bench took about 4 hours to make even with me going to the Home Depot for the plywood.  Quick and cheap!

I'll give updates when I get my machine on the table! 

and so here she is :) 

My new buddy, Shark HD4 CNC with extended bed

Oh look see....my new favorite tool has arrived.  I've got a table to build today for this monster machine.  I spent the entire day yesterday rearranging my garage so that this CNC will have plenty of room all the way around.  (pictures soon)  I am so excited to show you the pallet!   :)

Small improvement on my benches.

So since I make benches mostly in pine I decided to change the size of the handles on the legs.
Here is the new bench.
