I upgraded to Aspire 9 right before the user conference in Las Vegas last week. They had a good presentation on how to do 2 sided projects. Today I designed and cut my first 2 sided project, a trivet. It took some trial and error to figure out how to transfer vectors from one side to the other and how to cut the dowel alignment holes. I test cut a trivet out of 3/4" baltic birch plywood and it turned out just how I wanted. It's pretty cool to rotate it and see both sides in one window. Now on to cutting out more for gifts and my first craft fair coming up in a month.

Here are the renderings from my design.

Thats pretty cool. Any pictures of the actual trivets?

It's just plywood but here it is. Now that I've figured out the basics of 2 sided projects, I can move to something more complex, like with 3D models.

No CNC, and won't get one, but that gave me an idea for a different chess/checker board.

Nice work! 2 sided design and milling is something I hope to try soon.:smile:

Neat looking design

I did a 2 sided trivet on the router table in the 90's, similar to one in the Router Workshop series.

One of the features I like the best about V9, CJ. That and the enhanced snapping/drafting features. A great looking project for your first try with a new feature. It deserves to be cut from whatever the best trivet wood is.

Very cool

Cool design and something non-cnc users could do with a dado stack on a table saw. Inspiration for all.

I made this trivet design years ago on my table saw using a dado blade. I liked it and thought it was a natural for the CNC.

Still trying to save up the pennies to upgrade, just hard to justify right now.

Good idea, Theo. It sounds very appealing.
