Tombstones

Last weekend we organized a dinner show with our musical group. One of the acts was "when you’re an Addams. Tombs stones were needed, so I made 16. Names and descriptions were made by chatgpt. I used 10 cm used styrofoam with aluminium cladding on both sides. I first made the outline with a 8 mm routerbit with 75 mm cutting lenght. In 2 passes i went about 9 cm’s deep, so almost all styrofoam was cut. I first made all outlines and then went on with engraving the names with a 3,175mm bit, about 3 mm deep on both sides. When all were ready i used my homebuilt hot-wire-cutter to separate the two halves, so 1 10cm stone became 2 5cm stones. All was painted by other people and this was the outcome:

Lenore Addams in love with raven and gothic literature

Lavender Addams, a bizarre perfume maker


All gcode and text was generated with Estlcam 12. Not every tombstone was perfect, but hé, it’s the Addams family!
