Over the past 8 months, I've been learning how to use my Onefinity Journeyman Elite. I've learned A LOT from YouTube University sources, like Ryan, Kyle Ely (bought Learn Your CNC), Andy Bird (bought his CNC Kickstart), IDC Woodcraft, and Duffy Woodcraft videos, including downloading his files, suchas his Cribbage and Coffee scoops (which, while not be a hot sale item at $15 each, I am selling them steady enough that I have to keep making them). I've also learned some from Etsy files I've downloaded. Until now, except for small designs (like cutting out cabinet parts and drawers for my CNC table, I've been learning practicing mostly from these and Ryan's Kits of the Month and other videos. Not wanting my CNC Business to just be other designs that I've purchased, etc, I designed my own Cribbage board with storage. The attached VCarve file is MY file (I tried to send it to Slim at CIC through Yahoo, but it was too big, so I told him I'd post it here), that I created and it worked, and I'm ecstatic over it. There are a couple of extra tool paths in it to clear out missed wood that was shown in the Preview-something that I'm sure is just something I'm missing about the toolpaths. Please tell me what y'all think.

One of the biggest struggles for CNC beginners is choosing the right bits without wasting money on ones you don’t need. So, in my latest video, I’m breaking it all down by cutting a live CNC project using 5 MUST-HAVE bits every beginner should own.

If you could build ANY project with your CNC (no limits), what would it be?

“Where are you currently on your CNC journey?” - Just researching CNC machines - Just bought my first machine - Learning design/software - Selling CNC products - Running a CNC business

What’s the first project you ever made with your CNC — and what would you do differently today?
