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.

🏁 Starting the New Year on Solid Ground As a new year approaches, many people focus on getting their businesses set up properly. There’s a growing mindset around “starting the year legit” having the right structure, registrations, and records in place from day one. That usually means things like: - Registering an LLC, LTD, or company (UK, US, Canada) - Setting up nonprofits correctly - Getting an EIN or tax ID - Confirming business names and registrations Beyond registration, tax readiness matters too. Having the right structure early makes tax filing clearer, reduces mistakes, and saves time later in the year. A clean setup doesn’t just support compliance, it creates confidence. What part of business setup felt most confusing when you first started?
