Just watching presentation now. Didn't someone say they were calling Kratos to rip that head off?
His head is causing camera to go out of focus.

Hey guys, I'm a machinist student and I've become pretty good at using Mastercam to make parts.
I can take any simple (meaning only a few colors or very simple geomaterically) or black and white image from google images
and vectorize it and turn it into a real world product of metal.

Here are some examples

I forgot to take a picture of some of the projects I did and I am backlogged about 10 projects which are either completed in Mastercam or partially completed in Mastercam as lots of people want me to make them a part including the instructors.

I need some good quality black and white images of the Jolla logo as a bitmap or png so I can convert it to vector format (.dxf) using inkscape (free program) and open it up in Mastercam and turn it into an actual keychain made of aluminum.

I think the way to make a keychain is to use the Jolla image to cut out the logo about .100 or .075 of an inch deep into some .5 thick aluminum and then mirror the image on the X axis in Mastercam so it's backwards and then cut that pattern into 2 pieces of 1 inch thick aluminum standing on edge in between the vices with the vices closed so as to make a custom clamp that I can place the jolla logo that I just cut out in there upside down so I can just face the top of it off (that means get rid of the excess flat material).
