Letting the Smoke out Marc Cherry Editor What a great winter driving season we’ve been having. Decent temperatures and low humidity are the payoff for enduring July and August here. While we haven’t had a lot of driving events, there have been plenty of drives to take and events to attend. The auction season is kicking off in Scottsdale and F1 and NASCAR will be running their openers. Before you know it, the club’s signature event, Brits on the Bay, will be here. January has proven much busier than I expected as my involvement with the classic auction scene has expanded considerably. My auction house, Motostalgia, secured a Saturday evening auction this year at Amelia Island. Suddenly there’s no shortage of work to do. In addition to the catalog work, I am now working consignments. This change brought the good fortune of being asked to attend the Cavallino Classic in Palm Beach. This is the premier Ferrari event in the eastern US. What an incredible experience at an amazing venue. More remarkable was that they charged a $200 entry fee (we had passes as advertisers) and gave away goodie bags that contained less than last year’s Brits on the Bay bags! Shameless Plug for my auction house--click to visit! If you make it out to Amelia this year, please look me up. I’ve also been busy with an ongoing side project, converting my milling machine to computer numerical control (CNC). See the Feb 2015 Tool of the Month feature for details of the mill. So far it has proven to be an expensive and extensive project. I have named the new pet Millbot. Right now I have full control over the X and Y axis and can make the mill draw pictures and forge autographs if I mount a pen in the spindle. I have even cut precision parts out of foam. The conversion isn’t even fully done and it is already mesmerizing to watch Millbot run through its paces cutting things out. By early next Dinos at the Cavallino Classic month, I should be finished with converting the Z axis to computer control and be able to start making 3D metal, wood and nylon parts as needed.
