Beautiful work Scott!! I think when I retire from mainly cabinet work, I'm going to start using my CNC to do the cool stuff you do.

Nice! Need to tighten the chain on the Harley.

Thank you all for the kind comments!
The "Mom's Harley" project was the first one in a while made from perfectly a straight/parallel rectangle.....branches and firewood are Never boring
And Tiny and Small's are infective...even Randall got into it

Funny Scott.......That was one of the first things Mom asked...."Can you tighten the chain?"
Actually went into the reason Mom picked a Harley model dedicated to the memory of her father here(Interesting Harley story);

Her bigger Birdseye one is next(after some more testing of VR settings for the Desktop)
Thanks Brady.....and even Loaded Scott's VR settings for small VCarving

Wow- like many others here, wish I had the time to try such cool stuff!
Particularly interesting to me was the "lin-wax" methodology. Pretty dang brilliant. Really appreciate you sharing your techniques!

Scott, were these carved with 1/16 bn bits and did you get them from Drillman1?? If possible could I get your E-mail address. Thanks JERRY

No Jerry,
There was a thread about Tiny Tapered Ball Nose bits on Vectric Forum about 2 yrs(?) back, and Randall linked where he bought the inexpensive 1/8" shanks;

I was leery at first, but the Radius was perfect for my small stuff...after experimenting I bought 2 more sets(although I still use the originals sometimes)
Only a .5" CEL on those, so I also ordered 1 .25" shank (1.2" CEL) to try out, and after trying now have 2 sets of the .25" shank 3" long ones;

I did that small test Harley with the 1/8" shanks, but Mom's piece is larger, so I'll use the .25" shank ones.
Hope that's what you were asking.
My e-mail is under my Contact information....Be nice to hear from you

OH....I'm waiting on 3 bits for Mom's carving.....but might be awhile as they're overdue.
There ARE other suppliers on E-Bay with same/similar bits from US distributors, but I've got a friend who ordered .25mm TBNs from someone else, and had 2 broken tips...
so I'll stay with Sy-Tools as they're the only brand I've used, and had excellent cuts...AND a couple stupid mistakes that punished them with no damage.

Shoot...missed the edit period.
For TINY detailed carvings(like Old Man/Owl), and touch up/add detail like Owl on a Twig( and virtually all my tiny Font work)...
Yes, Drillman1 started carrying the .25" shank Onsrud 30 degree Engraving bit with the .005" flat. My Go-To for a lot of fine details.
