CNC Router: Cutting out dinosaur bones

Howdy!  Here's we're going to cut out the parts for a pretty large wooden dinosaur - dinosaur bones, that is.  We'll make this project and if successful, I'll see about the next stage of this project, which may combine another hobby of mine - scuba diving.

In this video, I hold down the workpiece with double-sided tape.  Specifically McMaster 77185A24.  This is 2" wide general purpose tape.  Not cheap, but from what I was able to determine, it worked great - wasn't too difficult to pull up, but didn't budge while being cut.  

You'll see from the video, but I wasn't able to complete the test.  I had to stop because of what I like to call "magic smoke".  You know the kind - electronics blueish smoke that generally occurs when something burns out or shorts.  This week my spindle gave up the ghost.  We'll have to see why, but it means I can't finish my dinosaur project any time soon.
