    Well my bowl wasn't finished for the spring! The pressure's off now though - it's a wedding present, and the wedding was 6weeks ago! :whistling: I'm lucky my friends know me so well!

    The bowl's still in the computer, but I've at last worked out how to section up into 6mm MDF slices using blender. Blender is a bit of a 'mare to use (massive understatement), but it can do loads of stuff with curves that CAD software just can't.

    Here's progress so far:

    There's no way you will get me to share my idea,this is gonna make the table router much easier to work with,in fact there is no other product on the market like it otherwise those who use table routers would have one by now.

    Such a simple design,won't cost megabucks to buy...this is why I need a CNC to cut out the parts in plexiglass/perspex.

    I reckon I can knock these out at £60/65 a piece,if I can aquire the mechanics on cheapish scale then I should make a profit of at least £15 to £20 per unit.
