:We shoulda stayed small .
Sounds like the same disease that kills lots of small businesses.
I hope you find something that fits real soon.

if you start working for yourself and need some piece work off a cnc router,
i would be happy to cut whatever you might need for next to nothing. my
normal rate to run my router is 100 bucks an hour minimum, but for an RMH'er
i could probably do it for less than half that. it might save you enough
time on some jobs to make it profitable if shipping doesn't eat you up.
having this in your toolbox without having to outlay the cash may help you
sell something you couldn't produce economically.
oh yeah, i am full 3D capable. i can machine busts of people nature scenes
and the like. here is a link to what my router/software package is capable
of:

our normal substrates are wood, high density foam, acrylic, corian,
aluminum, brass and bronze.

Well , technically it's a foundry , not a smelter ... though -ah well ,
better not go there . Just got back from winterizing the wife's camper , now
it gots skirts too . They don't looks as nice as - well , better not go
there either !
Thanks for the kind words , Tom . Gotta lay off the booze for a while this
afternoon . If I can get the sand mix right , I'll be pouring something
besides an ingot this afternoon . Dunno what yet ...
