Beginner Level 1
Turn a digital design into wood.
Combine traditional woodworking with CNC design, routing, assembly and finishing to create a personalized wooden maze tray.
Design it. Route it. Build it.
Move from prepared wood and a digital drawing to CNC toolpaths, precision cutting and a completed project.
Your finished project
A personalized wooden maze tray
Prepare the wood, customize the maze in VCarve Pro, create the CNC toolpaths, cut the parts and finish the tray for a polished result.
Your four-session process.
Each session develops a different part of the workflow, from wood preparation to a finished CNC project.
Wood preparation
Learn shop safety, understand wood properties, measure accurately and prepare the material for your project.
VCarve Pro and toolpaths
Explore CNC capabilities, customize the maze design and create the toolpaths needed for routing.
CNC routing
Set up the CNC router, cut the project pieces accurately and prepare the components for assembly.
Assembly and finishing
Assemble the maze tray, sand the surfaces and apply finishing techniques for a polished final project.

Marcello Nicolo
Woodworking meets CNC.
Build the complete workflow
Learn how careful material preparation supports accurate digital fabrication. You will work with traditional woodworking tools, VCarve Pro and the CNC router as parts of one connected process.
The focus is practical and guided. You will see how a digital file becomes physical toolpaths, accurately cut components and a finished wooden project.
