Lol - however Big Bird no longer in the picture… that’s all I’ve been told… :joy:

CNC router

Uhhh, believe that is Bert laying face down!

When my daughters were little & I could not remember which was which, my so called work “friends” delighted in telling me that Bert was the tall one with the pointed head.

Clean up the corners with a chisel or reeeeeally tiny router bit?

If memory serves it was a 2.5 mm bit.

I made a “spellbook” box to go with my wizard costume for the rennaisance festival.

The box is birch plywood, cover is 6-7oz tooled veg tan leather, an acrylic sheet on the inside to hide and diffuse the LED’s that light up the summoning circle. All in all took about 75 hours.

A little start to finish:

Molds don’t have to be fancy; I reused an Amazon box and some tyvek tape. $10 solution!

This was two pieces of 2” buckeye resawed to 1” so you’re looking at bookmatched pieces.

Poured in two layers

Was originally going to make a wall hanging but I felt like it was too busy…

So I chopped it up… and routed some handles, sanded to 150 grit:

Then they got two clear coats of tabletop resin, and voila:

Long post finally over :upside_down_face:

It may be the first ever triptych serving/charcuterie board. Nice work.

For those who can never get enough cheese

I worked on a lock picking station at DMS with @rowdy - Rowdy did most of the work but I learned a lot. I used it to pick my first lock.
