Re: First Official Sign

Thanks everyone

Ralph - Yes, it is the “Laughing & Smiling” font. My coworker wanted the sign to be 10” tall and that was the only way I could make it work.

First Official Sign

Made my first official sign. Coworker is redoing his daughters room and wanted her name for her wall. Total carving took around 2 1/2 hours. I primed it for him. He will paint it his daughters room colors.

Re: Need Help With Modeling

If you look at the 2nd picture you'll see some of the material is not being removed.

If I add the 5th rib and recalculate the toolpath (ribs 3, 4 & 5) I'm back to having some of ...

Re: Stool Plans (Russell Crawford's)

Russell,
I am interested in purchasing your stool plans and was wondering if you have a price for both the short and tall stools? I would be interested in both.

Thanks
