Why I chose these three machinesI wanted to make a wooden clock so the 3D printer wouldn't help me. the housing for the mechanism and the main body of the clock could be cut out of wood on a CNC router so I chose that. I also chose to use the laser cutter because it could easily cut wood and would make for a good clock face. I thin decided to use the vinyl cutter for the numbers because it is a quick and easy way to make flat numbers that I could paste on the clock face. I started by making the clock base. Then I moved on to the face of the clock and finally I made the numbers for the clock.

SummaryIf I were in the lab I would have spent some time with the part in my hands getting more measurements. I would have made the housing fit it like a glove. I then would have worked for a day or so creating the part for the vinyl cutter and for the laser cutter. I would have spent the rest of my time making sure those came out perfectly.
