The first cut out of my machine, a set of templates for hand building a guitar. Why make templates when I could make the guitar? Good point

I challenged myself to a some complications, but they turned out great:
1st, make all parts from a single MDF sheet. This was more of a Fusion challenge, but learning to work with components was key.
2nd there are four operations: trace, bore and two 2d pocket operations.
3rd, multiple operations means changing bits mid-job, wich wasn't that complex nor difficult really.

OpenBuildsCONTROL is awesome. I won't stop repeating this.

Attached pics shows a render out of Fusion 360, and the MDF cut fresh of the machine.
