Welcome to a new section of the website where Michael Tyler will be presenting a series of fully documented project tutorials using Vectric's software to produce fun and useful products.

With Valentine's day nearly upon us, now is the time to make up for all those hours spent mumbling about feedrates and tool geometry by making something special for your long-suffering partners and loved-ones.

This project takes you through all the steps needed to make a beautiful Valentine gift using Aspire 3. It covers the entire process, from design to finished piece, and should be appropriate for any skill level. There are lots of useful tips and tricks along the way that we're sure you will be able to apply to other projects in the future.

The available download (zip file) contains:

• A seven page printable PDF document detailing the process, step-by-step.
• The Aspire 3 model you will need.
• A high-quality image of the finished piece.

(To 'unzip' your file once downloaded, you will need to right-click it in Windows Explorer and select Extract All)

Here at Vectric we would like to think that we may have helped, in this small way, to secure you another year of untroubled tinkering in your workshops and garages!
