Thanks! It's a cheap cutting board that I milled w/ a friends' table top mill.

Awesome work!!! When are they going into production ????

I wish! If I had my own equipment I would. It's funny, I can afford the equipment, I just can't afford to ship it here lol.

Have you ever tried a router and a square? With the right bits you could make pretty much the same thing.

I would absolutely love to have one of those plug followers!

I was actually thinking of donating this set to the site for auction or whatever HC wants to do with it. So there's a chance!

Thanks for the comments guys. The pictures actually look nicer than the pieces really are, there are a bunch of defects you can't really see. And the laser etching doesn't take well to cutting board lol. Oh, and speaking of etching, I made the mistake of having the plug follower etched before I finished making it ('cause I didn't want to make 2 trips). So I couldn't bling it out after without fragging up the etching. And speaking of the plug follower, I made it out of aluminum 'cause it was cheaper and lighter...but I think it'll scratch too easily in the long run. So I think i'm gonna try find some stainless if I get a chance to make another one. Oh well, live and learn!
