Keepsake Box

Post by pd417 »

Planning to make Michael Tyler's "Mothers Keepsakes Box", but I only have VCarve Desktop.
Will that work? Plans say Aspire or VCarve Pro.

Anyone know? Michael?

It looks OK. It's not > 24" square, so it's good to go.

I agree. I only have the desktop and I've done a few of that project and I have to add, they are awesome. It's so easy to put your own vector drawings on each of the pieces if you want to change them out. I've even done one which I reduced it by 25% of each piece and used .25" wood instead of the .75" and it turned out great too.

Only issue I had was when putting it together; I've made two of them for a Christmas gift for relatives and they loved the design, but fell apart when handled. I thought I applied enough glue, but I guess not. So now I reinforce with small nails with an electric nail gun.

When a lot of the free projects were written by Michael there was no vcarve desktop version, it was either Aspire or Vcarve pro people owned. Some projects were Aspire only & some were Aspire & Vcarve pro.
You should be OK with most of the projects that say Vcarve pro as the files will be .CRV for both Vcarve Pro & Desktop, only time you may have a problem is if the project uses some function that is available in Vcarve Pro but not Desktop & you can easily check that yourself :lol: :lol: :lol:

Forgot to mention, does anyone know the interior dimensions of the Keepsake box? My son wants to put a small book inside, the book is approximately 8”x7.5”
