After the CAD was completed, we moved forward with the construction of our second prototype since we wanted to show something a little more "thematic" for the Hackaday Prize entry! 

We used the CAM tool in Fusion 360 to carve the squirrel to hold the bracket.  During the CNC operation, we left 1mm of material at the bottom of the cut to save the waste board on the machine. This extra material was removed with a Dremel and then sanded.  (Here is a fun tutorial for those who want to get started with CNC and CAM using Fusion 360)

After the squirrel was carved, we had to mount it vertically on a test board.  We chose some typical pine stock from Home Depot and some angle brackets.  We used bolts to hold it together since we thought we might have to change or move some components around as we built the second prototype.
