Completed and installed the sign for our cabin. I’m mostly happy with how it turned out, but wish I’d made the horse graphic a bit wider - it’s nearly invisible in daylight.
Here’s the sign with the solar-powered backlight (4 LED rope lights).

My design for these three pieces was inspired by a similar piece I found online – sold as wall art at West Elm.
I carved them on the Multicam CNC. Each took about three hours of cutting time. I would not have been able to do it without the help of @fedakkee, who showed me several tricks. Thanks also go to Larry, who patiently waited while I was cutting the second piece, and helped me take it off the spoilboard (it was taped down and a bear to get up).
The material is 1/2" ash plywood. The pieces are 30" x 30" (approximately). The cuts were done exclusively with a 60 degree V-bit.
I rough sanded them and gave them a few coats of Danish oil. I was very pleased with how they came out.

From tonight’s lost wax casting class.
Robert Steele used a ring that was from a bag a wax rings professionally made and donated by someone. Having such a nice original wax produced a very nice ring.
John K cast a taurus emblem he made on the shapeoko, then cast wax into. Rati Chkheidze used a wax made from a 3D print. The ring was made freehand by Beth Appleton.

My kids worked on glass pendants. My 2 year old helped with the one on the top right and my 5 year old made the rest.

My version of a coffee lamp! Because every coffee lover needs one! The cups were thrown on the pottery wheel. The base is a discarded wood piece that I went digging in the trash for (no shame in that). Thanks to my husband @Steve1 for all the encouragement

Finally got the rear bumper mounted up on my Suburban after some minor adjustment to the bumper. I paid $80 for a $1200 bumper and spent a little time to mount it.

Yep I sure did, until I got it on the pallet at least. It took longer than normal because I take breaks more often now days due to health stuff.

Did you use the sphere jig?

Nope, that was all by hand. It probably would have gone faster if I did use the jig, but I wanted to see if I could do it without measuring tools.
