Episode 166 – I’m making 5 bellows
At the cottage I don’t have any bellows but I have an ugly one at home. So I’ve decided to make a new one for our wood stove at home and bring the old one at the cottage. Along the way, I ended up making 5 of them.
And this was the ideal project to use Vectric’s Aspire. It’s a CAD program for use with a CNC machine. The company gave me a free trial. If you want more information about Aspire go to the Vectric website.
