Wow @SnowCrash! That is some incredible precision in those gears! I’m thoroughly impressed with your machine’s calibration 
1/8" double flute using inkscape. For my board game friend. “To The” would have to be painted back on since it was to small n thin to stay.

This looks amazing! Can’t wait to see how it comes out!, please keep us updated!
Thank you, and will do. Busy this weekend recutting all the gears, decided to go a different route. Rather then press fit bearings I found 8mm pillow block bearings with set screws. Now plan on running the 8mm steel rod through the door from the inside to connect the gears so the visual gears on the outside will be also be able to drive the interior locking mechanism. I’ll post more pictures as soon as I have something more to show than a bunch of precut gears laying around.
Thank you! Swapping from the under the gear setup with the bungee cords to an over the gear setup with counterweights made an enormous difference in accuracy.

Did a small gear design (scaled down) to test the gear ratios before I ripped into some of my more expensive sheets, looks like it’ll work… I think=)

Side project for a guy at work, still working on evening out the stain and filling the cuts so this is far from a final work peice

Its kind of a lazy layout but it should cut well enough on the maslow.

Looks pretty well nested to me.
A Funeral Urn made out of Black Walnut with Wenge top moudling and Maple splines for a relative of mine who died last year.
Cut the parts on my table saw and route table, then carved on my Maslow with a 1/16th bit, and a V-bit for the lettering. I used Vectric Aspire to compile the graphics and generate the g-code.
The box is about 8x10 and 6 inches tall.

I am just stunned that you did those carvings with the Maslow. I would love to see the details on how you did it. That is expensive software but it looks like it may be worth the price.

I have an elderly neighbour who keeps bees and sells the honey - I’m pretty sure it’s his main income. Great bloke but a bit quiet.
Anyways, nothing spectacular, but I saw he’d put up a cardboard sign last week so made this as a gift:
He seemed chuffed, and coming home today I see this!
Pretty happy he liked it
