Well. Anyway i had a sawmill for 15 years and never sold any of the wood i cut. I figured some day i would retire and then i could make as much sawdust as i wanted and it would not cost me anything. When i decide to retire i have more hardwood then i will ever be able to use.

Wow, that is awesome! I wish I had that problem. I only have a Home Depot and a Lowe’s near by. No mills and I don’t have a mill and if I did I would not have any wood to process. The tree cutters in the area take all the wood from the trees they cut to the dump. Terrible waste.

Uploaded a video making a rustic flag. The stars were designed in Vcarve Desktop. Generated gcode with no problem and used Easel as the gcode sender. It took about 12 minutes to carve. Here is the link

You did it again. Don’t worry about the brush for the glue your finger is faster and easier to clean up. I stopped using a brush along time ago. Nice vidio.

How did you set up the circle to carve? Was it premade or did you have it cut out of larger piece by x carve?

Are you referring to the outside radius?

Yes.

I actually planned to leave it square. After cutting on the CNC I cut the radius with the bandsaw and used a router to do a 1/4” round over on the edge

I uploaded two videos, one using the dog bone app that was not successful and then continued my experiment to do another project without the dog bones. This was very successful and only took about an extra 15 minutes to cut the rounded corners square.

Hope you enjoy and learn something along the way
