Happened to a certain Desktop operator up North on Thursday:)
Father"Oh, a woman will be dropping by this morning-I told her you could do something for her"
Crying widow" Your father said you could could make me a box for my husbands ashes with a guitar engraved on top"
Operator" Well I've only ever made this fingerjoint box(Vetric free project)" shows her box, different woods, VCarved guitar preview.
Widow" That's perfect- How much?" Hauls out checkbook
Operator "I'm not sure--When do you need it?"
Widow "Oh, the service is tomorrow at 3" BAM!!!


After resizing to correct dimensions, quadruple checking everything, working an 8 hour shift at his day job. I THINK he made the deadline, but haven't heard from him. I think it killed HIM:)

There's a thin line between genius and insanity. At least that's what those voices in my head keep telling me.

Tech Support: Where you patiently listen to a customer list dozens of items that they assume they have done right, so that you can ask them a couple questions to find what they have done wrong! :rolleyes:

I make cremains boxes, using my Desktop to carve inlays (the dovetailed boxes are made without the aid of CNC) - and the above scenario is just another day in my shop. Tell him the next time this happens that an infra-red heater will speed up the drying time for finish - or if he doesn't have one of those, an oven set to about 125 F works just fine too.

Thanks Roy, I can see how making the boxes beforehand and having blank lids ready for carving would reduce the stress and let You have a better finished product. He only had enough time for one layer of shellac, But she cried (in a good way) when she saw it, so he did OK. Have used oven to speed up oils, but really have to stay on top of the bleeding.
