Special Gift

Post by **Rusty** » Tue Jan 01, 2008 5:02 pm

This is my first project using Vector Art 3D files. Worked great. Even though I used a .125" ball mill for my finishing path there was still lots of detail. Unbelievable quality. Did all the rest using VCarve. They work well together.
Box is 16" X 8.5".
This will be my last project for a while because I will be moving out to Vancouver Island.

Hi Rusty,

WOW - Fantastic project and great to see how the combination of 2D and 3D toolpaths can be used to carve such a special piece.

Good luck with the move.

Thanks for the kind words Tony.
It was a fun project. Still need to learn more of the wood stuff.
Everyday I play with VCarve it just reconfirms that I spent my money wisely. All your affiliates, like VectorArt 3D, VectorArt 3D Machinist, the many talented artist/designers, the forum users and all the support staff all together make it easy for the hobbyist to take their craft to a much elevated level of quality & enjoyment.
Not having to learn all the code stuff has allowed me to focus in on the designing. Time better spent.

Don't know if you noticed, but I used the golfer outline (eps from the 3D file) for the cribboard. The 3D & the outline worked well together.

Can any of your forum users quess who this gift is for? Tell me if you know, but please do not tell him yet. IT'S a SURPRISE.

Hiya Rusty!
That cribbage set looks GREAT!
Nice job with the golfer art.
Excellent board and box, man.

Hope to meet you when you are settled in on the Island.
Make sure you contact me.

cheers and Happy New Year.

Oh, and I think I know who it's for - don't worry, I won't tell.

Fantastic, this is along the lines I am aiming to do.

Looks good what games is that? I have never seen it before but then again I have only played Golf or should I say hack-golf two times in my life

Rusty,

That's a very nice gift indeed and certainly a great combination of the 2D and 3D data. I would very much like to add this to our Vector Art 3D gallery if you would allow me to? - please let me know. Good luck with moving.

regards,
James
