Hi everyone

I have been in vector illustration for over 20 years and am just getting into carving with v carve and a router table. While all the creating is easy I am hitting a few speed bumps in the production phase. Thanks to youtube and google I am making some progress. I am hopeful this forum will help solve alot of problems as well. Who has the best tutorial videos out there?

I've been told that Laguna has some good videos, although I haven't looked at any myself.

Are you an Adobe Illustrator person?

If so, you have a huge advantage on the design side of the workflow.

Thanks for the link. I use corel draw. I do everything with it from illustration to basic vector profile drawing and design. Specialize mostly in motorsport and industrial graphic design and illustration.

Welcome Stu, you'll find most of what you need on here, the rest you'll find on Vectric's training videos.

Ive already gained most of my knowledge from the vectric videos. Kind of making my way as I go. I just sent off the first multiple piece file so am waiting to hear if its successful.

I think Legacy Woodworking puts out some decent Vectric tutorials.
