Tray Puzzle 5

Here’s another for you.
The engraves are on separate layers so you can choose what density you want to engrave them.

I can see myself having fun with this design in the future by making it look like a bee hive and adding a few cartoon bees. :bee:

My first thought was @markevans36301 and the logo for his Bee Sharp knife sharpeners.

What if you added a score to every line to make it even harder

That’s a must.

That’s what I did on the previous one but it cut too deep. I will when I make it myself and have control over power settings.

I REALLY like this one. It was worth waiting for (though I really like 6, too).

If we get Q*bert to jump on it will it change colors?

Q*bert was my first thought too.

Funny, cause I think I’m gonna go see DJ QBert in concert tomorrow evening.

I really like this one!!

I etched with masking on…we’ll see if that was a mistake…lol


Not the best idea…this was 2 tries…lol

May hit this with a coat of shellac (aka bug poop)
But looks pretty nice on raw baltic birch…

Really nice job on this. I can’t wait until we get engrave control back again on the GF.

But how could you take the mask off before etching without moving everything?
Super job by the way. :smiley:

I generally do etching first then apply mask before cutting. I do it on the bed being careful not to move the material…
And BTW. I darkened the greys to 25% and 50%…they were too light to notice before. Might even be better contrast to go darker still.

This is my favorite so far. It reminds me of a hexagon puzzle we had when I was a kid of a sand dune. it was near impossible.
