FREE Labs Project: Heart Shaped Box
Hey All,
This month I have created a pretty simple Heart Shaped Box for you to download from your V&Co account: https://release.vectric.com/heart-shaped-box/
This is a bit of a seasonal project with Valentines around the corner, but could work for anytime really, anniversaries, mothers day and gifting in general
The box is formed of two parts, a lid and a base. The lid has a funky texture pattern that has been created simply with a profile toolpath and a large VBit. The base of the box consists of a simple pocket toolpath where I have engraved some text inside of the box! The box is a two sided project, allowing for extra engraving on the bottom of the base, as well as the functionality of a pocket pass on the underside of the lid to allow for the lid to slot into the base to close the whole part up.
I hope you enjoy this project!
Happy Making!
Beki

Re: FREE Labs Project: Heart Shaped Box
This was presented last night before a "Yoga for Partners" session. It was well received by my sweetie.
1.5" Ash left over from another project, a single layer of Livos Natural Oil finish. Minimal manual sanding.

Re: FREE Labs Project: Heart Shaped Box
Well here is my take on Beki's free project Heart shaped box.
My wife and I recently lost one of our fur babies to cancer. So I had bought the bracelet for my wife for Valentines. Then this free project came out. It was perfect for my needs.
Thank you so much for this one.
Top & Bottom of the box is Redwood.
The center section is Cherry.
All cut with 1/4 BN endmill. 60 degree V-Bit for text and chamfer.
Finish is simply 4 coats of rattle can poly with a light sand between coats.
It was very well received and is much loved by my wife.
Thanks again for the free project and all that you all do at Vectric & Design & Make for our community.

Re: FREE Labs Project: Heart Shaped Box
I’m looking forward to seeing the memorial box. I’ve not worked with Hickory myself, but a fellow CNC carver gifted me a desktop nameplate made from Hickory. Beautiful wood.

Re: FREE Labs Project: Heart Shaped Box
The Walnut I had left over from my Raven Desk project was only 5.5" wide so I resized the box to 11cm wide. Apart from changing the lettering for the bottom and deleting the inside lettering, the file is as Beki supplied it. No issues whatsoever!
