Dave Hebson - Oak Cake Stand〡Vectric

Hi, I'm Dave. After spending 25 rewarding years in sales, I took a step back for health reasons and embarked on a new journey of creativity and innovation. In 2017/18, I bought a 3D printer and delved into the world of CAD, designing my own unique creations. This passion for design and craftsmanship led me to build a Workbee CNC from a kit and explore the realm of CAM.

A few years down the line, I upgraded to a custom CNC and expanded my arsenal of machines. Today, I proudly operate a compact yet efficient garage workshop where I bring my designs to life. Under the name "GoodWood," I enjoy making and selling my handcrafted creations. This new venture has kept me engaged, inspired, and excited about the endless possibilities of what I can create next.

Create a beautiful and practical oak cake stand with this Aspire project from Dave Hebson (GoodWoodEmporium). Designed specifically for hobby CNC users, the project fits machines with limited Z-axis clearance by machining two 40mm components that are simply glued together after cutting.

Using Aspire's Spin Tool, the design blends elegant curves with subtle V-carved decoration to produce a professional-looking piece that's perfect for gifts, special occasions, or even selling. The toolpaths are straightforward, requiring just three common cutters, a 6mm end mill, 6mm ball nose, and 90° V-bit, making the project accessible without specialist tooling.

Whether you're looking to improve your 3D machining skills or create a timeless piece you'll use for years, this project is a rewarding build that showcases what's possible with Aspire.
