CNC- Ted is about all things handcrafted by Ted Gauthier. Many of the items are made or built with a CNC including the CNC Woodworking machine that he uses but this site also includes many other things. That is why “More than CNC with Ted”. Ted has built his RV-6 Airplane, Glen-L wood boat, the “Zip”, his hot air balloon, and many hand carved items or turned objects on the wood lathe. You may find many things on this site that Ted has produced over the years and we hope you enjoy.
