My first file cut

[scottp55]

Compared to you guys it's Nothing, just a prototype for font and depth to find the depth and cut of font for blind kids blocks. This is only pine, but I thought sure I would ruin it as I was nudging all over the place and resetting Y. Beautiful machine the Desktop.

Hey Scott.

Don't put yourself down. That is beautiful work- ESPECIALLY since it is a first cut!

If I remember correctly, I snapped a bit on my first effort! SO you are at least one up on me!!!

Keep it up- and never apologize for pine. it is what it is, and that is one of God's prolific woods- and has made homes and furniture and implements for countless years! Plus it is a pretty inexpensive wood to tinker with!

Have fun with it!

That looks absolutely fantastic, Scott. It's a hell of an accomplishment to keep things that clean and tight in pine. You're definitely on the right track!!!

I had to put myself down, because I'm grinning like a fool.

That would be cool wainscoting for a day care center.

Nice work!

I was thinking what a great lid for a toy box! Terrific first project! Well done! Welcome to the fun part of cnc! Russ

Thanks everyone, Wainscoting,Toy Box lids, I'm still thinking inside the box. Great Ideas. My best friend just had Major surgery last week and she's coming down with the kids Saturday. She taught preshoolers children with Autism and special needs for many years. I'm going to make a set with three rows for her I hope with her name in the middle as with a space it has 13 letters. DOES ANYONE HAVE Heart shaped profile I can stick in the blank space? I don't have Aspire(wish I had bought it), so it would have to be cut 3D. Thanks all. scott

Great work Scott! A little trick we all use with pine to reduce the fuzzies a bit is to run the same tool path twice. After the cut has finished. Just hold down "control" and press R.

Bob and Jack, somebody else is awake.Going nuts trying to remember how TJ made a heart. I'm going to go 2.5D with that .32 pointed round over (Barley twist to you Bob)I used for the rads. Thank you Joe Crumley. Going onto Google now for a heart line drawing Jack. Still on first cup of coffee.
