We all start somewhere right?

Post by GooseCreekGator »

Our class has had our set up since 9/14. I'm a teacher just a few steps ahead of my students. At a students request I'm posting his project. (they see me reading the forum during lunch) Modified piece he's calling brushpile, not a bad start for a 16 year old. He since cleaned up the file so if anyone wants it feel free to send me a message.

Hey, that's a great start. No larger than a piece of paper no less, cut without losing detail and by all appearances cut well. Twigs can be difficult. Excellent job young man! :D

It's not letting me send files with .dxf extensions via message so I am trying to post it here.

Great fist up effort and thanks for taking the the time to go beyond the class room with your students. They might not say thank you at the the time but I'm sure they appreciate it and will look back at it in time with a positive attitude.

I'd like to thank everyone for their encouraging comments. The student is quite pleased with himself. I am sure we will post more in the future.

I love it, but even though not very big, the whole thing being supported by those two thin sections just scares me...lol
Great job though!
