Curves on a curved, round surface are a pain in the butt. The black pen is delrin, the clear polycarbonate. Delrin cuts easy but the ribbons and chips don't, uhm, chip away - I have to pull them off with tweezers. The polycarbonate is REALLY tough. I'm sure my tools not being perfectly sharp doesn't help.
Curves on the curved surface are a real pain. I'm surprised at how different these materials cut compared to the ebonite I cut a while back. Huge difference.
The design is not mine. It's a C inside some flowery stuff.
I'm using a square graver with the tip ground on my bench grinder (white wheel), no clue on the angles. Working on the edge of a sandbag on the edge of the table. So my hands and arms aren't on the table at all. That's been the most comfortable position for me to sit and work. I'm getting cross eyed looking through those magna visor things.
