Great video! I was wondering if there is a way to change the workpiece on Vcarve from cylindrical to a block piece? (Like the workpiece you used in your baseball bat video)

Keep going

That's the plan! We've got another Vortex tutorial coming out soonish. Thanks for the positive words!

I was really disappointed when you cut off the milling at the very top of the chess piece. That would have been the most interesting part and it's not like the video was too long. Also no close up of the finished piece to examine the quality of the cut.
