This is excellent for a first try.
The rope pen is made with very special router bit (this), they say. I do not have it so cannot confirm.

Great to p-lay with shapes coming on mate like the bit advice the best finish off the tool saves intense follow up work finishing, I had great success yesterday varying the speed to find a real happy answer to some of my ideas gave it the whole ten yards.

Lots of help on the You Tube.
