Step One: Template
First, the master prepared a map template on paper for the CNC machine.
Step Two: Wood Preparation
Trims the beam in length. Then saws along. Rounds off and cuts walls.

Step Four: Cleaning, Trimming
Cleans the workpiece.
Marks and cuts it into four parts.
Step Five: Drawing
The master applies the drawing in two ways, using the CNC machine and a manual milling cutter. In fact, the master decided to test who will cut the card faster and better on his quarter of the workpiece. Of course, at first the master transferred the drawing of the card to the wood using tracing paper.
The drawing is applied, the file with the map is uploaded.
And the competition begins.
While the master cut out one part of the card, the machine coped with three. Of course, the machine has an advantage, it automatically changes the depth depending on the specified parameters.
After cutting, you need to clean the card with a knife and compressed air.

Details about the technology of making cards can be seen in the video.
