During the last 1-1/2 years I’ve been putting together the files for Hamilton Dilbeck at CNCwithMe. This month Hamilton wanted a “fancy” and “ornate” display case for the complete Jenny line of bits. This is what I came up with…. All mortise and tenon construction. I used 1/2” stock for the bit shelves and 3/4” stock for the top, bottom and sides. The 2 front pillars were also carved from 3/4” stock for the 3D relief of the Jenny bit.
Question for viewers at the end of the video…. Please let me know your thoughts.
Check out CNC with Me - for beginner and experienced CNC’ers alike; and Cadence Mfg for the best bits I’ve ever used - over 20 different bits and growing!

Sandy really likes filigrees and lilies and dark colors. Initially it was a bit of a challenge to get the filigree stl file and then engrave their name in it with an Angel number. Decided to leave a border around where the names would be engrave and lay down an stl file of filigrees between the outside border and the names. I wanted to get as much detail as possible on the filigrees so I used a 1mm ballnose bit to carve the contours. Great detail but the carve took almost 10 hours.Getting started with your OnefinityOnefinity - Training, Tips and Tricks2021-02-17 | You finally got your Onefinity! Congrats! Now what??
