First effort, try again tomorrow...

 

[cheb]

How about the holes at the top decreasing in diameter from the middle out to the edges?

 

[Fraserb]

Spent the morning making my first files, made about 6, yeah, yes and no, it's not like drawing, I'm happy with it for a first effort, but, no, it's not the final design.

I also need to produce font, which can be cut out, but I don't think emachine supports that, or I've not figured out how.

Today's effort, this is the cut out plan, for the first (kitchen) table.

It looks too wide in the middle, as the ends of the base should be larger, but he's going upside down with it.

There's 1 or 2 fonts in emachine shop that are ready to cut, if I want to use a different one I just add the bridges in manually, once you've done a few it doesn't take long.

Thats nice but I can feel the pain of banging my knee against it.

 

[julianf]

That's uncanny!

Yep. One is made in asia at 1/3 of the cost also. I guess that probably gives insight into who copied who.

@Fraserb , you start with images and import them, how, oh how, do you do that ? Please.

@Fraserb , you start with images and import them, how, oh how, do you do that ? Please.

emachine shop cant import images as far as I know, I use inkscape if I need to import an image, inkscape can save as a dxf which enachineshop can import

 

[Barking Mat]

How about the holes at the top decreasing in diameter from the middle out to the edges?

Yep, certainly a possibility.

@Fraserb , how do you get emachine shop to give you a dxf file?

Did you pay the hundred / two hundred dollars?

So close...

 

[Barking Mat]

Which do people prefer?

Thanks FraserB, got the text working.
