    Oh twiddling the thing into life is well beyond G-o buttons now you need a diving helmet and Oxy/helium mix to find the Mmm3 spot. .

    So update time.
    well i've done one that i'm happy with with ( but have a big pile of fire wood lol)
    I have to use a cad program to do the design and ensure the size's where correct.
    then import it to Vcarve add the text.
    work out how to use the tile function.
    Well all i can say is that i'm glad I gave it ago, the only dow side is that now other ppl want then and it was meant to be a 1 off.

    Here is a pic of how it looks.

    Good effort ! interesting you used inches. Like you I always draw it in CAD first, that way you can see what the outcome is likely to be, it's easy to later modify, you have the design for when other people want one too, and with their name on it
    Edit: I lost my marbles a bit there thinking those numbered graduations were inches instead of feet, it's becasue it looked like a 'blown up' ruler.

    Well I know that of course, but initially I wrote some stuff that I later deleted about using 16th's instead of 12th's then I came to my senses about it being feet and 12 inch divisions. I think my head was thinking about my dentist appointment for a tooth extraction in the afternoon.
