Hey CNC woodworkers! I wanted to make an easy first project, so I came up with this hexagonal trivet, or wood hot pad. You can use this to save your countertops and tables from getting scorched when putting a hot pan or plate down on them. They are easy to make, and require practically no real woodworking skills. I set up a file in Vectric VCarve with all the speeds and feeds that I used.

The file is now available for free for anyone who watches this video!

I encourage you try this easy CNC project; it is super simple to do, and they would make a great holiday gift, or you can make a few and sell them! I'll have a few available on my website.
