I got an advertisement from a CNC router bit company featuring this nifty little elephant coin tray in their advertisement. I really like it and would like to make one. I was wondering if it was something in the public domain and available to download. Any ideas where I could get started or should I just try to design my own? Anyone?
Looks like a simple pocket and an engraving, Gary. Have you fired up Aspire yet? Draw the basic racetrack oval shape, cut a pocket, engrave the elephant on the bottom.
I usually start with a basic search and refine it as I go, normally starting with something like 'elephant svg' or 'elephant clipart free' and go from there.
I have found Vectorstock.com to be an excellent source for vector artwork. A quick search for "elephant" showed they have 38,157 vector images available. The images usually cost about $1 each.
Coloring book pages are a great source, I have used dollar store coloring books for scrollsaw patterns. There are a bunch of online downloadable coloring pages as well.
I use bowl and tray bits for my pockets in projects like this. Clear the bulk with an end mill, finish with the B&T bit
