Although much of the rocker was milled on the Shopbot CNC, there was a ton of hand-work that had to be done and without Jordan's talent it never would have gotten this far. Congratulations on a job well done!

HIGHLIGHTING STUDENT CREATIVITY AND THEIR SHOP
![]() Last year I purchased a set of plans for the CNC to build a Sam Maloof rocking chair. A student decided to take the challenge and commit to making this beauty to the left. It was a year long process with other projects in between but he completed it just in time. As you can see, he entered it on our County Fair and took home pretty much every prize available so now it is on its way to the State Fair. I can't imagine that it won't take home the bacon at the State level as well. Although much of the rocker was milled on the Shopbot CNC, there was a ton of hand-work that had to be done and without Jordan's talent it never would have gotten this far. Congratulations on a job well done! ![]() The CNC plans were good, but we still had to tweak a few things to get all of the pieces to machine the way we needed them. Every part was first machined out of Pine so that we could verify the toolpaths and make the necessary changes prior to cutting them out in Walnut.

I saw this at State Fair. Absolutely beautiful! Nice to have had a chance to talk to the students while they were in the process of creating this work of art.
