➡️ Every year for Memorial Day, I create something meaningful to honor our veterans. In this video, I walk you through the full process of making this epoxy and wood flag—built with care and deep respect for those who served.
You'll see:
👊 How I used ChatGPT to generate design ideas
👊 Vector and toolpath setup in Vectric vCarve Pro
👊 Step-by-step epoxy color pours and CNC carving
👊 Finally surfacing, sanding, and finishing tips
