I think that there is a function to fill a volume and get a matching "insert" instead of extruding and cutting (for the interior volume). But I can't remember the exact function.
Can I ask why you opted to machine the back of the spoon before the front? It would seem that if you did it the other way round, you could get away with using fewer / less substantial tabs. Great work!
In order to have a ball endmill finish the back of the spoon, it has to be able to plunge deeper than the front edge of the spoon. I 'd rather not cut into my threaded table so the top/flat side of the spoon isn't flush with the face of the stock. I could have used thinner tabs on the handle for sure, but for the bowl of the spoon it was already close to the limit. Tabs are relatively easy to cleanup, not a big deal. Doing the bulk of material removal on the first op (bottom of the spoon) was more worthwhile to me.
Winston! I love these deep divesinto fusion! Please don't stop
Always love seeing the Behind the CAM videos. They always gleam a little more insight to the thoughts behind the WHY. I dig it.
Thanks for the excellent tutorial. You're a great teacher
Great vid - currently battling with 2 sided machining of a very simple part, so this was interesting!
I love my spoon like how I love my wife
Quite and not Alive
Fusion 360 is an excellent software. I love it.

It's Boundary fill, but actually not that simpler : ruclips.net/video/KB_yNaTDZcI/видео.html
