Here is something I found a couple of years ago.
Its a homebuilt cnc table w/ co2 laser.
The build on everything is very well. The table build would be very much the same as a router.

Mmm! (wincing a bit)
Looks quite interesting, but the power requirements for that sort of cutting/carving tool look to be a bit on the heavy side...
Nice output, though.
