    Not sure what you are saying there but the end result is fantastic!

    You certainly made it come to life! Beautifully done.
    I read recipes the same way I read science fiction. I get to the end and I think, "Well, that’s not going to happen."

    I agree with your original post. You did, indeed, bring the design to life. It has great eye appeal.

    Thanks everyone! It's being presented at an event this week and people are coming from England to be part of the ceremony. Hopefully they'll all be happy with it.

    Really nicely done!
    Could you describe how you attached the letters to the wood ?
    Did you first engrave the design into the wood so that you had a reference for positioning the parts?
    Or did you pocket everything on the shopbot with a really small bit (1/16th ?)
    Back in the day we would have either used a pounce pattern or carbon paper!

    Thanks Mayo. I'm not that complicated. I put 3M glue sheet on the back of the sheet I cut the letters from, took a piece of posterboard stock (thick paper), cut the inside circle and all the inside stuff out. Then I just dropped the paper down onto the wood, oriented it, and started sticking things down. When it's all stuck, just lift the posterboard up and toss it in the trash.
