Sure, that sounds like a good idea.
holy cow, they’re active there!
We did have that for inlays at least three times. 
But I am also looking forward to good tips and tricks.

That works really well for shallow inlays. You start the cut for the plug a little deeper basically, beyond 0. The technique I wanted to try for deep inlays (5-6mm for cutting boards) does not work regrettably (and would have made it really, really easy), because Estlcam can’t do negative offsets in carves.

Seeing the different ideas come out if the parametric table discussion would there be enough appetite for some easy going design challenges: set a loose goal and see how many ways people solve it.

I’m not sure if I should be reviving this old horse - but I just want to point out the the Kobalt competition #4 and #5 is somehow along the lines of what I imagined with this topic! It’s super neat to see how people tackle a challenge in different ways.

My head’s filled up with building the workshed thia fall. I was actually going to carve some mountain sculptures to sell at a Christmas faire, but I chickened out because of having no spare time. This topic has also fallen behind. Right now my head is empty, but I’ll certainly shout out if come up with anything! And if someone else has an idea, I’m totally open to handing it over.

Who was the user with all the ice sculptures and shot glasses? He had waterproofed his LR2, and was using a loooo-oong bit to carve ice blocks into corporate centerpieces and drink glasses for events…
That was my immediate thought when you mentioned making carvings for a Christmas Fair at the top of the world.
