JAM# 1 Report

The first RZjam produced some rubbings and two blocks to get things started. The two blocks are below.
The stopBLOCK is the first of 11 commands. This one has been cut using the router and very basic form plywood using text created in the router’s native software. A starting point for further play!

The engravedBLOCK was made from an Adobe Illustrator vector file supplied by Mal Enright & Barbara Heath. The file was created for another purpose and the strategy used to ‘translate’ it here was to use a V cutter to follow the paths in the file.
Interestingly, at A3, this took the router just over an hour to cut – actually 1 hr 11 mins. It was decided to use MDF board but should it be repeated it will probably be cut into aluminium.

NOTE: All the files still exist and can be repeated in various material or using differing cutting commands etc.
