Dale, what's a 2-rail sweep? Does that mean they were created in Aspire?

Dale, that's a great project! Excellent work!

Andy...suggesting you invest some time and watch some Aspire video tutorials on two-rail sweep. You'll thank me for that suggestion later (I hope!). If you don't own Aspire now, you may get inspired!

Like the wooden spoons shown earlier, I also used a molding toolpath to shape the front and back of a fork in order to create a set of salad tongs.
They are exactly the same size. If the fork looks bigger, it's because the angle of the photograph.

Nice, KWiK! I really like the ones with spiral handles. Were they done in VCP or Aspire?
I also like the guitar shaped one!

llwood, They are cut using Vcarve, but I use Inventor to make the solid models.

Here are some more wooden spoons we did. These are risotto spoons. The risotto is so thick you need to have the hole in the middle in order to stir it, and the flat part allows you to go along the bottom of the pan.

Interesting idea. I would have never thought of it. Is the bend permanent or does it straighten out over time?

Also thanks for the segmented bowl idea in that same thread.

I just got an email that says "You have received a new private message from "olf20" to your account on "Vectric Forum" with the following subject: Wooden Spoon Files
However, when I click on the link, I don't see the private message but instead see "You are not authorised to read private messages."

I am posting here for 2 reasons.

1. To let olf20 know that I am not able to see the message. If you are comfortable with it being public, you may post it here; otherwise, you may send an email message to andy@clutterfreeservices.com

2. To see if anyone knows why I can't access private messages and how I can do so. It seems silly to receive a notification of a private message that I can't access....

Thanks,
Andy

Andy, private messaging is deactivated on all forum accounts created after a certain date, not sure what that date is though. If you want to use private messaging or view private messages sent to you then you need to contact Vectric support & ask them to activate private messaging on your forum account :lol: :lol:
