Hello,

This seems really basic, but I seem to be missing some of the key operations here.
I'm trying to reproduce the jpg to a 3d element to cut out on a cnc.
Particularly the axe head. I just can't seem to figure out how to get this done.

I need some pointers on how to draw this one out.
A video tutorial on how to get this done would be great! :)

thanks!

I suggest starting with creating an extrusion shape from the direction that is normal to the handle hole. Next, create a radial cut by creating a radius with a center offset from your part behind the square side, that will define the cutting blade edge. finally make 2 shapes for the side cuts (top and bottom side profiles). Its really simple, I think. Good luck!

Bobcad has a feature in BobArt where you can take a .jpg and emboss the thing without drawing a thing.
