The toolpaths are currently set with feeds, speeds and pass depths that were used in creating the SIDE-A and SIDE-B Pair original sample. Please don’t use them directly until you review them for your own setup. (Two-Sided Carve) Both sides were run with the Z-Zero at the TOP of Material. You can edit the tools and change the settings to your own preferences and requirements. It is very important to recalculate all toolpaths after making any edits/changes. Once you have recalculated for your own machine and bits, reset the preview, then preview all toolpaths again to visually verify the project outcome on-screen. Tea_Chest_Panels_SIDE_A Tea_Chest_Panels_SIDE_B STEP 2 - Run the Project Run this file first. Flip over material, When you are satisfied with your settings, save the then run this SIDE-B toolpaths to the appropriate Post Processor for your (on the back of Side A) machine, place your material on your machine bed and proceed to run the files. The two-sided file is run SIDE-A first, SIDE-B second after flipping the board. All Remaining Files are Single-Side Carves (fig. 2a, 2b) Tea_Chest_Panels_SIDE_A Tea_Chest_Lid-Base fig. 2a Machine the Tea_Chest_Panels_SIDE_A file first. After machining that side, flip the board over across the (shortest) width. Insert the two alignment dowel pins into the holes in the spoilboard and replace the board onto the pins with the plain side up and re-apply your hold-down method. Run the Tea_Chest_Panels_SIDE_B file on the back Tea_Chest_Dividers of SIDE-A. The remaining files are all single-side jobs. Tea_Chest_Panels_SIDE_B Front_Lid_Lip fig. 1 fig. 2b (cont.)

Separate the parts from the material. Sand off tabs and any undesirable toolmarks (fig. 3a) For the alignment holes of the prototype sample, I set the depth of the drill toolpaths to 1.1 " when I ran the first file (i.e., the Tea_Chest_Panels_SIDE_A). This drilled all the way through the 0.75 " -thick material and into the spoilboard, creating the two alignment holes in the spoilboard about 0.35 " deep to insert the 0.25 " dia. alignment dowels for placing the flipped board upon. (fig. 2c) fig. 3a STEP 4 - Part Assembly and Finish Prep Glue the hinges to the lid sides. Clamp until dry. The half-round ends are flush with the front of fig. 2c the lid. (fig. 4a) Of course, I maintained the same X,Y zero location on the machine bed throughout the complete project run. Inserting a couple dowels into the holes in the spoilboard and into the material holes, yields perfect alignment between the back and front of the material. fig. 4a Alternatively, you can set up a drilling toolpath on the first side of the material that is ~0.55 "deep. Then after After glue has cured, glue the Lid Lip to the underside completing the first side, rezero the bit to the machine of the lid (flush with the front edge of the lid). Clamp bed and drill the same holes giving you a total depth of until dry. (fig. 4b, 4c) 1 "+. Using 1 "-long glue dowels, this works great. Another consideration with this alternate technique is you don’t have to maintain the same X,Y zero location. You can move the spindle to a different location, rezero X and Y and then continue with drilling the holes in the spoilboard, placing the material and machining the second side. fig. 4b For more detailed information about 2-sided machining, visit http://support.vectric.com/ and view the “2-Sided Machining Guide Tutorial”. fig. 4c (cont.)

  • An Examination of Tea Smuggling in England During the Long Eighteenth Century
    The Thirst for Tea: An Examination of Tea Smuggling in England During the Long Eighteenth Century Abstract: This paper seeks to examine several facets of the phenomenon of tea smuggling during the “long” eighteenth century. In order to understand why tea smuggling occurred at this time, one must consider the laws which necessitated smuggling, as well as the economic environment of Britain throughout the century. In addressing the extensive popularity of ritualized tea drinking, one can comprehend why tea, specifically–admittedly among a myriad of other valuable commodities–was selected to be smuggled. The material nature of the tea ritual, in addition to the smuggling process, is crucial to understanding the significance of tea itself and associated illicit activities. By investigating these elements concurrently, one may begin to understand why tea was smuggled during the eighteenth century, and how the British government consequently worked to end smuggling altogether. 2 The thirst for tea transcended all social classes across the English empire throughout the “long” eighteenth century.1 At the beginning of its rise to economic dominance, tea was considered a luxury commodity, enjoyed only by the upper echelons of society, who acclimatized themselves to its new, bitter taste. However, shortly after its introduction to the noble class and, by extension, court culture, the practice of tea consumption trickled down into the middle class, rapidly leaking into the poorest sectors of English society.2 From its elite beginnings, tea developed into an inherently British commodity, an essential to daily life for all social classes. It rose to popularity in Britain and the Dutch Republic initially, long before individuals of any class on the European continent picked up a tea cup.3 Tea trading occurred during the seventeenth century, but the beverage gained substantial adoration during the eighteenth.
