With my piece of floorboard, I decided to build an ashtray.

I wanted to involve an etching or some sort into this project so I decided a simple tombstone with a “YOLO” engraving would be fitting. I drew it up in Illustrator, sketched out the box dimensions, and brought it to Otherplan:

Then into the Othermill:

45 minutes to cut the inside out:

A little over 1.5 hours to finish the piece. My measurements were somehow off (as usual), as you can see part of the top perimeter of the box rises as it was cut out of the raised portion of the tile:

Ashes to ashes…

Overall the process was a little louder than expected, but I hope to come back to the Othermill to experiment with smaller endmills in the future.
