I’d like to enter my latest project for this contest - draft taps with walnut inlay.
You can find more details here: Draft Taps with Walnut Inlay
Main things I learned:
- Certain types of Fusion 360 toolpaths have incorrect default settings that will generate huge gcode files that don’t run very well.
- Driving a 1/8 bit into the stock for any reason (such as #1 above) can cause your bit to slip in the collet and creep down in the Z axis into the work.
- Wood is both fussy and forgiving when it comes to inlays. Sanding is key!
- Every project I do I learn another way of doing things - whether work holding, Fusion 360 capabilities, finishing - so many things.
- I have to agree with @grubbertire, nobody sees the small flaws (thankfully I had no spelling involved in this one) except you!
