I have been working on my goal to build a CNC machining business for years I would like to produce nautical wood carvings and sculptures for individuals and businesses at competitive prices this includes cabinets, furniture, table tops, wooden fish, sail boats, anchors and more. This would also allow me to produce molds, signs and instruments
My long term goal is to build a window display to delight shoppers through being able to view a 6 axis robotic arm cnc machine carving wood into a sculpture as they pass by. I would prefer a large display(10 foot acrylic case) The retail space would be a window display only, so there would be no need for employee pay. I would simply load the machine in the morning an go back to work designing and printing. The customers would then visit the the website to make a purchase
my mother is a struggling artist and mom to my Down syndrome little sister noel and after my father lost his job and credit due to a heart attack, things have been rough for them financially
as for me, I help when i can .
I am thirty years old, still single and now live with my parents. i have worked full time in retail,food, construction and as a self employed wood carver but things are moving slowly. as a young guy i was prone to depression and attention problems but always struggled to over achieve or over work.
My symptoms only got worse until around five or six years ago when i was diagnosed with Schizophrenia and spent years trying to get back on my feet. During that time i have designed and built a small cnc machine and have learned the necessary skills to operate it as well as learning the complicated 3d modeling software to design the art work
This is the job for me. It allows me to work at my own pace. I am asking for donations in hope that it will turn years of saving into progress at the cost of ten dollars from one thousand people.... thanks!!!
ps the long term goal I noted is not included in this campaign and is a goal i intend to work for
