I'm currently taking a couple weeks off of work after our son was born, but wanted to continue making a sign this week. So I decided that my son's room needs a sign for him.
I'm really pleased with how this came out. Mixing the yellow with some titanium white made it much easier to spread with a single coat than simply using yellow.

A tradition in our family is to get at least one new Christmas tree ornament that represents something noteworthy or important that happened to us this year. This year August specifically was an extremely busy month for us. First, our dog Susie had one of her legs amputated to have a cancerous growth removed. The day after we got Susie back from the surgeon my wife gave birth to our first child. Then two weeks later our cat Chloe passed away from lung cancer(we didn't know she had it until it was too late to do anything).
Here's the carve process of some of the ornaments I made this year.

Someone approached me about selling my Silk Road sign on their DNM themed website, so I thought it would be prudent to work on making these in larger bulk before that goes live.
Working through this, the few lessons I learned were valuable. What I need to do is add a narrow spacer so I can hold down the center on the inside of the two signs. They seemed to work fine, but towards the center of each it was clear that the wood had bowed up somewhat, because the v-carve lines became thicker towards the center as opposed to the outside where they were clamped down.
On the sign at that back right the machine also lost steps for no obvious reason, ruining that sign. I'll have to drill down into the g-code and figure out what happened.
Overall, this was a highly successful first test of this proof of concept, and I learned a lot from the experience.
I made our newborn a set of dinosaur push toys for Christmas this year.

In this video I want to go over the process I used to add color to this lithophane I made. This will work with both 3D printed lithophanes as well as CNC carved lithophanes.
Lithophanes make great gifts for friends and family and are so much more enjoyable than a simple photograph. This lithophane is added to the lid of a memorial box I made after our dog passed away in October of 2022.
