painted porcelains from Buran Benjarong are based on traditional Thai
style paintings. Religious Buddhist beliefs and traditions have been
deeply rooted in everyday life. The Buran Benjarong handmade porcelains
use intricate designs on gorgeous porcelain bowls vases, etc. The
production of the basic porcelain wares are by itself a very tedious
and time consuming process. The hand painting done on these porcelain
wares is a really slow process.

The MechMate is a sturdy, reliable, full-size CNC router that is ideal for cutting plywood and MDF on a continuous daily basis with little maintenance. Elements of the MechMate were originally designed as upgrades for a ShopBot, but the point has now been reached where the whole machine has been self-built.
