One of the wise people above said, "what do you want to make on it?". A really important question to consider! I'm taking a break from coupling rods and templates for leather and had a go at art? But wish mine was larger ;-)

Series of holes cut at different depths with a 60 degree cutter. Software for doing that is free? Lots of things you can do.

Welcome!

Hey, cheers ,mate! Took about an hour to cut but I was in front of the fire the whole time drinking a dram or two! The material I found on the garage floor, some of that awful white paper faced chipboard which I sprayed black with car paint! Basically, everythings like my photography, if you want a pic of a steam engine you could use to build a model, I'm you're man, but creativity, forget it. So I hunted down some help and found these:

Wonderful stuff and free. As I said, now I wish I could cut a lot larger because mines 360 x 200 x 70 mm, fine if you want a set gauge O coupling rods! ;-)
