So here it is. ALMOST done. Still needs a little trim on the outside, but totally livable for the girls. Just got the nipple waterer installed yesterday. Hooray!

The machine is my real job for the business I run it is not for hobby use but I do make stuff for myself occasionally same as the saws and most of the other equipment I have..

I run Aspire design software by Vectric the machine is ran by WinCNC control software. I can do wood but I usually work in aluminum and plastic making parts for the sport fishing industry. In the fall of the year business slows down and I can do other projects but I have been forcing as much time as possible for my coop project right now. The machine is a 10 tool changer model.

I have had a lot of people I know tell me I am over the top on my coop build when they see it but that is how I roll. I quit calling it a coop and started calling it my poultry barn LOL. When people ask what I have been up to and I tell them I am building a chicken coop then show them a picture on my phone I get a lot of are you serious type comments. I like it and that is what matters.

I am a retired Manufacturing Engineer Never really got into the CNC end of design... but I did a lot of sheetmetal designs and relied on experts like you to direct me when I had trouble. I used Autocad and Solid designer and Solid works.... Solidworks has a seamless download for CNC machining. so my end went to the CNC expert in the shop.

The reason I asked was I am looking for a venue to do some creative work and make a little money. I have already done a couple of logos but would also like to do sign shop stuff.... ether cutting on vinyl or printing on canvas. Also stitching patterns for patches.... The software for different applications vary considerably.

So when I see I ask what software.... Most are wayy out of my price range though.

I can do that if you are serious I don't make signs as a business but I have a CNC router for making parts for my business and many sign makers use the type machine I have to make carved wood signs. I have made a few signs for family and my church. If you are serious what type wood would you like it made from and how large? Cedar works well for outside signs and it is not real expensive. I will show you a picture of one I made for a family member. Mike

Very serious, cypress sounds great, as I would want it to last. Any suggestions on size based on the words would be greatly appreciated. I would like to have one of the chicken emblems also. You can PM me any suggestions if u want. I will be thinking on it also.
