Download or read book Getting Started with CNC written by Edward Ford and published by Maker Media, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-08-11 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting Started with CNC is the definitive introduction to working with affordable desktop and benchtop CNCs, written by the creator of the popular open hardware CNC, the Shapeoko. Accessible 3D printing introduced the masses to computer-controlled additive fabrication. But the flip side of that is subtractive fabrication: instead of adding material to create a shape like a 3D printer does, a CNC starts with a solid piece of material and takes away from it. Although inexpensive 3D printers can make great things with plastic, a CNC can carve highly durable pieces out of a block of aluminum, wood, and other materials. This book covers the fundamentals of designing for--and working with--affordable ($500-$3000) CNCs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ive written this book to make it as easy as possible to make a winning pinewood derby car. Most of the techniques can be done with simple hand tools. I wanted to come up with some new techniques that any child could do. I also came up with some new ideas that an adult can help with. I started working with my son on his first pinewood derby car when he was five. We went to the library and found some great books. A lot of the ideas are very advanced for a five-year-old, so we thought we could figure out some new ideas on our own. It took five years and a lot of trial and error, but he finally won a first place trophy in our pinewood derby race. Now we can share some of these ideas to help you make the fastest car you can. Other books cover a lot of details on every aspect of pinewood derby. We are trying to help with some more new easy ideas. Always check to see if your race has rules added to the standard pinewood derby rules that come in your pinewood derby car box. I dont want you to use some of these techniques and have your car disqualified. Finally, always read and follow the safety rules that come with the tools and machines you will use on your project.

Download or read book Summer People written by Brian Groh and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-06 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tremendously appealing and mordantly funny novel for fans of Richard Russo and Curtis Sittenfeld, about friendship, compassion, and social privilege. Summer People tells the story of Nathan Empson, a young college dropout and aspiring graphic novelist who has just accepted the most unusual job of his life. In exchange for serving as a summer "caretaker" for Ellen Broderick, the eccentric matriarch of Brightonfield Cove, Maine, Nathan will earn a generous salary and gain access to one of the last bastions of old New England wealth—an exclusive coastal community the likes of which he has never known. It seems at first like easy money: accompanying Ellen to the immaculate Alnombak Golf and Tennis Club, or joining her for an evening of cocktails and conversation at a neighbor's mansion overlooking the anchored yachts of Albans Bay. But not everyone in the community is welcoming—or even civil—to someone they regard as an interloper. So Nathan finds solace in the companionship of a philosophical, ex-punk Episcopalian pastor, and the alluring nanny of the pastor's children, a feisty, dark-eyed beauty named Leah. Nathan invites Leah for walks and late-night picnics on the beach, yet as his relationship with her deepens, he finds it difficult to ignore his employer's unexpectedly unnerving behavior. With each escalating mishap, a new aspect of Ellen's colorful past comes to light, exposing the secret lives of her old friends, flames, and enemies, as well as the story behind a scandalous incident Nathan must prevent her from repeating—however inept his efforts may be. In this big-hearted, immensely satisfying debut novel, Nathan must contend with competitors for Leah's affection and with an increasing suspicion that Ellen needs more help than he can provide. But sounding the alarm over Ellen's condition would mean leaving her beachside home, his summer job, and the romance that may well change his life.
