CNC my drawing into acrylic

Adam at Quelab used the ShopSabre CNC router to carve one of my vector drawings into acrylic on November 12, 2023:




into acrylic


I turned the drawing into a vector file in Inkscape:

The vector drawing had 
doubled lines --
apparently an artifact of the vector translation process


We decided to engrave my drawing
into a circle


The computer gave an image
of how thick the final lines would look

Adam blew off the fuzzy pieces
with an air hose


Peeling the adhesive paper
off the front






Adam CNCed a wooden circular fram
for the acrylic


Then he surrounded it in LED lights
