Here it is, the newest magical and revolutionary product from Cupertino...cut in birch ply wood on the CNC, also available in masonite, below. Update! Looks like Apple's director of Developer Relations is now in possession of one of these.
This is my Fireball CNC router. The case is lined with foam soundproofing. I'm using a small trim router with a 1/4" collet. I had a dremel on there for a while, but it was really lacking in power.
This case comes apart in two pieces. The bottom part houses the power supply, vacuum, and lots of spare parts and materials.
When cutting MDF, there is some kind of static reaction with the soundproofing and the vacuum hose. Interesting formations.
A project just completed for the Decompression event in NYC:
A cross between a teacup fairground ride and a teeter totter, The Instability of Form (aka Dinoball) is an interactive sculpture. It will have three dinosaur heads mounted on it, and the riders' collective motion can lean it back and forth encouraging one dinosaur over another. (The piece can also be spun on wheels) The three heads express the continuity and instability of forms in nature as they evolve. Each one is slightly different, and the circular nature of the piece asks the question: "which came first, the chicken or the dinosaur egg?"
