Allison’s Hang board

I spent all of the fall and winter working on this project. I decided to created a hang board, which is used for rock climbing training. It is a piece of wood with different depths in it that you hang from and it trains your finger strength. I first cut the length of the piece of wood I wanted to use. I then began to design the depths of the slots for the CNC machine to cut out. I started my design on Corel and then moved it to the Easel program so I could then add the depth of the slots, this took a few weeks. I then was ready for the CNC machine to make the cuts. This took 2 months to cut in total. I ran into very many problems with the CNC machine and kept having to adjust my settings and start the cuts over. The CNC machine also doesn’t cut very fast. At the beginning of this project I was thinking this would take a week or two at max, but I was very wrong. This was a project full of trail and errors and figuring out the best way to do things.
