That's super interesting, thank you! I build furniture, mostly more traditionally, but sometimes use a CNC for making jigs. I have access to a 1200mm x 2400mm ShopBot, which has the worst software I've ever used that I didn't write myself. But with care and enough test cuts it gets the job done.

It's fun reading what other people are using these for in practice, and not just the sunny days version. If I ever try cutting brass with this level of detail and scale, this is exactly the kind of thing I'd want to read first.

I look forward to seeing your next project come to life!

Incidentally, your workholding is called a paper joint in woodworking, and is used to make split turnings and sometimes to attach clamping cauls :-)
