Gauge Block Display
A safe place for a special memento.
The Story
From Ellipse 6814.
The precision ground 1-inch gauge block was a gift from my high school robotics team mentor after my senior year on the team. Inscribed on the block is a quote from my mentor: “All things equal, make it a round number.”
A simple step.
After receiving the gracious gift, I wanted a special place to showcase the block. I decided to design a stylish wooden case with small brass accents.
The new CNC.
To manufacture the display case, I utilized my school’s new Shapeoko CNC router to carve the block from scrap walnut. All CAD/CAM work was completed in Fusion 360.
