A carved shop sign, part 2 of 7: A border and an emblem

A carved shop sign: the whole project

A carved shop sign followed from a blank drawing to a machine. A 600 by 300 mm board is drawn by typing its size; WORKSHOP is set in a carving font round an arc; a border band is made by two offsets; an emblem is traced from a picture. Everything inside the edge is V-carved, with an end mill clearing the flat floors; the outline is cut out last, ramped in, on four tabs placed by hand, starting on the bottom edge. The simulator finds nothing to fix, a job sheet and three programs are written, and the first program is framed, checked, started, paused, resumed and run to its end on a pretend router.
