Thanks. That was my first thought but I ended up planing my board after I cut it. Another lesson learned.
Some more candle holders⊠a great Christmas gift! These were cut using the LM in two passes - one to rough and then a finishing pass. Two of the holders in the image show the output from the finishing pass from the LM⊠youâll note that there is still quite a bit of sanding that needs to happen. All of these are still âunfinishedâ but will get a coat of Rubio. The ones in the image are in White Oak and Ambrosia (Wormy) Maple⊠I have some Black Walnut and Ash that I will also be using.

I second the flocking idea. I use it on my custom gun boxes. I grabbed my kit off of Amazon.

Thanks. Yes, its my design. This is the final version I landed on after 3D printing a few that didnât quite have the proportions I was looking for. I did the 3D model in SketchUp and used CAMLab to generate the g-code.

Continuing the discussion from Christmas Contest 2021 :
Hello everybody,
i am from magdalen Island, quebec and i love my longmillâŠ
Here is a gift souvenir for my mom. My dad died in 2019 and i decided to engrave him for a lifetime souvenir. i took a picture and i convert it in vector file in gimp and inkscape to make the path in aspire. it took me about 2 hours to engrave but after having spent 4-5 hours to details the path. If i would not have done that, it would have taken more than 8 hours, i used a 15 degres v bit 1/8 to have all the details. i stained the engraving and i sanded the plate to be able to see the wood grain. You will understand that i can not share the file for that. Hope you will appreciate. Thanks for sharing all your nice work.

Very Nice! I always loved Charlie Brownâs Christmas Tree and the Grinch and his pup. They were icons of Christmas when I was young. Charlie Brown, Frosty, Rudolf and of course the Grinch were from a time that brings back fond memories watching with my parents in anticipation of Christmas Day. Thanks for sharing!

I agree with @Andy1. For everone who is interested, the german word for these plates is âTischbeinbeschlagâ⊠I think you call it âtable leg bracketâ.

Thatâs exactly what they are. I took apart an old Ikea side table a few years ago and keep the brackets for ⊠some future project. Turns out they make excellent hold downs - I find them incredibly versatile. I flip them and reverse the nut for thin stock.
