    I’ve made corners this way before with a rectangle and circles, but hadn’t done just one corner and then flipped it to the side and then the top to the bottom to create the whole piece. I see how that way assures all is symmetrical. Pretty cool, and yes it opens up a lot of possibilities.

Watching your videos and seeing more of these features will be helpful. Thanks!

    I've been following your videos for awhile now and I have some of your bits. I appreciate the effort you put into this, and I think you do an excellent job in your presentations. I do not use the Vectric software because I think it's overpriced for my purposes. You and others have used the CA glue process with success, however my first attempt was a failure because my spoil board after being surfaced was too rough to hold the tape. I've since painted the surface to give it a better surface to bond to, so maybe problem solved. I've tried the other software's such as Freecad, Fusion 360, Easel, and Carbide Create, and I'm going to say Carbide Create is getting the nod so far. You obviously get what you pay for, but I'm not looking to get involved with 2.5D projects for now, so I would like to see more about Carbide Create.
