The Bird Shack , Michael Tylers FREE CNC Project of the Month, Vectric

This month s project is ideal for the Spring season Getting a birdhouse set out in the early spring (in March) is the perfect time for birds to find secure accommodations for raising their new family. This fun Bird Shack project will provide that for them The entire project is vectorbased, and was created with the VCarve software. Some of the features used while designing this project include the Create Shape tools, Array Copy, Drawing, and Node editing tools, Snapping features, Interactive Trim, and Fixed Nudge. The exterior surfaces of the sample are painted and glazed to accentuate the shallowcarved detail and achieve the shacklike appearance. No finish was applied to the interior surfaces at all, as some finishes can be toxic to birds. It might be alright to use a foodsafe clear finish on the interior, but I did not try that myself.
