I still need to do a little sanding but this is only my second 3D design attempt and I have the original xcarve from 2015 with some upgrades, before inventables offered the package. Its a Frankenstein but works for what I need it to do.

Great job!!

Happy carving

Thank you Ken. I’m still learning and can always do it better. I just wish I didn’t have to make so many mistakes to figure things out.
