Excellent Tutorial and video explanation! Thank you for posting
Thank you WillAdams for your input. I have been looking into trying to figure out the last stages of making the final programming layer of stacked text. I don’t want to just stack text. I want to be able to put pictures behind or above text, or pictures above pictures under the layer parts.
I havent looked at what you have posted yet, but am heading over there now to see what you might have given me to research more into. I thank you in advance for helping me along my journey towards understanding layers and working towards making more in-depth carvings from CC Pro.
Interesting and clever, thanks for explaining. I am impressed and couldn’t conceive how it could have been done otherwise!
I love what you have done. What did you use for a power supply for the lights?
Thanks,
Thanks so much. It’s a 5v 10amp power supply from AliExpress:

Made some lead weight molds for a fisherman coworker who dives for lost lead weights and then melts them into the particular flat bank sinker he uses when fishing. I work for fish 
he wanted some custom molds. This is the first one with 2x 8 ounce flat bank sinkers. The harder ones I’ll take on next. Took maybe 3 hours to design on fusion 360 CAD and CAM. Took 2.5 hours to cut on the nomad 3. I stopped a lot to vacuum up aluminum chips. I used a blank mold they sell on the Do-it mold website so I wouldn’t have to start from scratch. $50 for the blank mold. I used some isopropyl to help keep it cool.

I have made a few cutting boards and charcuterie boards on my machine. Last year, my wife asked me to make a 24" x 24" heart-shaped cutting board. At first, I was like, “Yeah, not a problem.” I bought some wood, glued it up, and cut it out… Well… She didn’t like it. She then said I want it made from one piece of wood. I went to the local “Slab” wood vendor, and everything they had was glued together as a panel or $1500.00. No way was I going to spend $1500 on a whole slab just to cut it into a cutting board.
After some searching, I found a vendor about 400 miles away. He sent me a photo of a small slab he had. It was perfect. 8/4th Walnut with only a small crack in it. He cut it to 24" x 24" for me and sent it.
I opened the packaging and let the piece rest in my shop for about four weeks. It was coming from NorCal, and I live in SoCal. I didn’t want the piece to warp after I carved it.
Long story Long. The Cutting Board turned out FANTASTIC. I finished it with some Mineral Oil and BeesWax. Wow.

That’s a really interesting piece. Cool to look at and serves a learning purpose.
I’m old, so “nifty” is the word… lol
Cheers,

Very Nice! Well Done!
