Abstract

A crafting apparatus () includes a working portion () and a base portion (). The working portion () includes a lower surface () and an upper surface (). The upper surface () defines a working three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system (X-Y-Z). The base portion () includes a lower surface () and an upper surface (). The lower surface () of the working portion () is disposed adjacent to the upper surface () of the base portion (). The lower surface () defines a non-working three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system (X-Y-Z). The upper surface () of the working portion () extends relative to the lower surface () of the base portion () at an angle (θ) for angularly-offsetting the working three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system (X-Y-Z) from the non-working three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system (X-Y-Z). Methods () are also disclosed.
