Invited to present at Vectric's 2024 User Group Meeting in Texas, From wonky zero planes to sculpting dragon scales, Scott is going to share all of his weird wisdom as he breaks down how he bent Aspire to create this helical, 5' long, 2 piece, dragon headed walking stick.
Carved using Sienci's AltMill and Vortex Rotary Axis, this project was a beast to create. Come along on an incredible journey!
