An inlaid box lid, part 1 of 4: The lid and its word

From a blank drawing: a 220 by 140 mm lid drawn by typing its size, its corners rounded, and the word TEA set in a heavy block font, 70 mm tall, centered on the lid.

An inlaid box lid: the whole project

A box lid with a word inlaid in it. The lid and the word are drawn from a blank drawing; the Inlay window shows the pocket and the plug seated, to scale; a test coupon is drawn and simulated first; then Make the inlay carves the pocket in the lid and draws the mirrored plug on a board of its own, as a second piece of the job with its own zero and program. Each piece is simulated with nothing to fix. A last chapter shows the same window with a straight bit, and a bowtie.
