How to Make These Salad Servers

[Yeslek (Michele McColligan)]

I saw these salad tongs and would LOVE to make them. I could totally make the pattern for the “claws” but lost on how to cut them curved like that.

Please excuse my ignorance but can anyone point me in the right direction with a tutorial.

Better yet, I’d be happy to pay someone to make the file for me.

Spoon Possible without CC Pro?

I’d like to make a wooden spoon and was wondering if that’s possible to do with the standard CC? Can it be done with a bowl bit? I don’t have one but can pick one up. Thanks!

Making a base for a model

Given a prototype base: [image] How to make it in Carbide Create? First, we have a pixel image with some dimensions: [F-86 base scan with measurements] We import that into Carbide Create: [image] using “Set Background”: [image] and adjust for size: [image] [image] It’s then a matter of drawing and toolpaths and so forth (we will try to do it w/o Create Pro, but will also show that). For reference, there is an overhead view as well: [DSC00036]

If you will draw up the design including a profile showing the curves we will walk through that with you.

Draw the pattern you want, and describe the curvature & I’ll help you with the 3D. (Unless Will or someone beats me to it )

Are these symmetrical? Or do they somehow interlock?
