@Machinist Thank you. I plan on doing a few more of these. The carve only took 1.5 hrs at 85ipm. It was the 3 days of waiting for the epoxy to harden that takes a long time. I think the next one of these I do I may use semi-transparent colors and some mica powders to see what’s possible. Just not sure who to do next.

Looking forward to seeing what’s next! 
I totally agree with Bill. The whole concept is just amazing. Thank you for helping to showcase the infinite possibilities!

Very cool! Did you cut all the pieces with the OF or just the dino part? I’m also curious how you made the slot for the coins.

Thanks! This one was all done on the OF. It’s 4 separate pieces that were laminated after cutting. The inner stripe with the coin slot is actually two pieces, each with a small pocket at the top. The other outer side you can’t see has a rabbet for a piece of plexi so you can see the coins inside.

Thanks Grant - I love this forum - such an excellent place for new ideas! Just curious - did you make the graphic for the dino or find it on the web somewhere?
I made it myself. I’m a graphic designer/Illustrator by trade, which is coming in pretty handy for CNC work.

Nice work, I dig it. Super fun that you created it yourself as your first project.
Man, I wish I had skills like that - until then, I’ll just borrow stuff from google images

First program that wasn’t spoilboard, fence rails, clamps, etc.
Running a 1/8" downcut at 4000mm/min, 1.5mm stepdown, about 3.5 on the Makita dial in 1/2 ply and it came out butter smooth!

I did one of these for my son, and one for his friend. It was a pretty difficult layout as the handles are not flat and there are a lot of curves to account for.

I like to use Autocad and Fusion for most of my projects but I did this one with Estlcam because it is simple 2D. Shown in its static state but it uses a spring driven motor to rotate both display wheels at varying rates & direction.

First two projects for my artist son joshtiessen.com. It was fun learning Vcarve and the possibilities of Onefinity with Baltic Birch for the art and three pieces of 5/8" MDF for the frame. Love the precision!

Lovely and very creative. Is that painted or do you print the images?
