I'm very sorry to hear about Dave's passing. I enjoyed visiting with him at his shop many years ago. He was a great host and a wealth of information. My condolences to his wife and family.

Hi Chuck,
I would RUN to take Brady up on his Tutoring, whatever the cost. His expertise and advice will likely save you days or even weeks of time trying to sort things out on your own. It will...
Yes - very cool!
Probably Trotec
That is going to look fantastic, Joe! Can hardly wait to see the final finish and installation! (Hope you are able to post some "progress" photos to mentor us through your process - that's always a...
Excellent result!! Who did the Tole Painting? Great work on that, too! Chisel brush?:)
Very cool project!
Beautiful work, Andrew! I absolutely love the great quality red lacquer finish - really gives the chairs a nice, neat POP! Your work is inspiring, as always.
Hello,
Folks have been after me (for months) to post photos of my past and present ShopBot/Vectric projects, so I finally had a chance to post a bunch of pics (ninety of 'em) in Albums on my...
Hi David,
When you take your photos in Portrait mode, make sure the phone's shutter button (or Start Button as Apple calls it) is at the BOTTOM of the phone when you take your photo. When you take...
Nice test.
Using one's fingers can be handy at times to apply paint. I did so for a Christmas centerpiece project. The pine needle carved detail needed green paint, but to do it by brush was too tedious.

Good idea on splitting the .5" down to .25". I've recently split some .25" into 0.125" (minus kerf of the bandsaw blade) for heat bending/thermo forming. It is a little tricky to get a perfectly...
Thank you. I'll definitely make note of this as a source for the glacier white!
Is there 0.25" Corian for making lithophanes on that website? I see plenty of 0.5" Corian but not 0.25". I didn't spend a lot of time at that website, but did enter .25" Corian as a search term....
Thank you for the great tips and photos, Joe!
What video?
I'm with Brady! Funny, I had to fight off the urge to just go out, make a mold with my surname and cast a brick today!
It would depend upon the item. One would need to add up all the time/material costs for a particular project to see which method makes the most sense all-around.
I did a presentation on mould making and casting at the 2013 Vectric User Group. It was an example scenario of creating multiple hotel wall plaques using casting instead of carving a bunch (carved...
That is cool, Phil! I am in process of designing some jewelry items myself...but, I had not thought of the heather "stone". I did watch a "How It's Made" program that showed how they make the...
I love this project! Your photos are great, too!
Excellent tutorial, TJ! Nice-n-easy method that anyone can do.
Great work, Keith!
Pretty Cool, Brady!
