Wow, that looks extremely crisp. Good job, i like it.
that looks great Scott. It looks like Russell only lives about an hour away from me. I have never seen any of his work before, its fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
I really like that. What type of wood did you use (maple?)? I am assuming that you sealed it before carving? But you know what they say about assuming.:)
I use a pointed round over bit. I first do my round over profile pass "ON" your tool path that you want rounded over. Just set your cut depth to the radius of your round over. Then i run my "OUTSIDE"...
We use western red cedar all the time. I find it can be a callange to carve. It has a tendancy to have a lot of chip out. But i still love the look and natural colors of WRC. I know Joe C. has posted...
Jack, that is a great picture. If i remember correctly that look of pure happiness was from a wonderful princess bed. I'm not even going to pretend to take credit for any of the hard work. My wife...
Here are the rest of the signs that have been made so far.
My wife came accross a local project that needed donations for a ranch that was getting built for abused children. The ranch is named "Little Warriors, Be Brave Ranch". It is the first of its kind in...
Good job Jeff. That looks really nice. I've been wanting to try this for a long time.
:)Well, you have me convinced. I'll be sending some moola your way as soon as i get home from work.
Joe, that is a really nice sign. I love the rustic look. Did you do the stone work as well? I'm just curious, have you ever tried the Sikkens Cetol SRD Waterborne exterior finish? I'm curious as to...
Paul, I have got a new filter bag, looked for blockages and checked everything i could and still very little suction. My DC is about 5 or 6yrs old and is a 1hp Craftex that i payed $150 for. So i...
My old dust collector doesn't quite suck like it used to. I'm looking at purchasing a 2hp Laguna Cyclone DC. The model im looking at is approx $1650, so fairly pricey. Do any of you guys use Laguna...
Jeff, i've used the "cheap" stuff from the big box stores for the multi layered logos that i have done. Like the other guys have said, the fine details have a tendancy to break off or go all flakey....
Here is one of the latest logos that we have done. I cut it months ago and my wife just got around to painting it. It is about 36" wide and made from .675" MDF. It still needs a coat of clear which...
Khalid, it looks great. Are you at all worried about the cutting fluid getting into the electronics?
Hey Khalid, I am a maintenance coordanator for Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. a large oil company in Canada. I work at their Horizon Oilsands facility in northern Alberta. I'm just curious why you...
Here is a link to the free software that i used http://www.students.tut.fi/~syvajar3/
It was really user friendly and can create wavy line or dot halftones.
I seen some of these online last week and while i was home i figured i would give it a try. Each picture is made up of roughly 10,000 holes of different diameters/depths. The pictures ended up being...
Joe, i'm not discounting the contributions that yourself and other pros have made to this forum and others. But No one comes on here looking to get belittled or be made to feel that they can't do...
Keep in mind this is a "freebee" sign Mike is building here. It doesn't matter if it has a 3-4k price tag in the full timer world. If Mike feels confident in doing the sign, i say do it. You should...
I just use the cheap stuff from the dollar store. It works really good for me.
Job well done Brian. Very nice.
That looks right to me
