Never carved stone before, but would like to try. Need some advice on the easiest stones to carve for best results, where the stones can be found, and the bits used for carving them. Also, how would an irregular stone attached firmly to the cnc bed. Are any precautions needed? Thats it for now. More...

I see many jigsaw puzzles made to be cut by a laser with virtually no distance between the cut lines. Is there a way I can separate all the vector "pieces" of the puzzle giving enough room for a drill bit instead of a laser to cut the outline of each "piece" without overlap? The only way I can think...

I made a few various pics and lettering type fonts on light wood, pine and poplar. I finished the tops with various colors. I did nothing to the sides. What would be a good "neutral" color for the sides? Should I leave it just the wood grain and sand it, or apply a dark stain and sand smooth? Thanks K

I saved a test pvc file made in PhotoVCarve.
Imported the pvc file to VCarve desktop.
The process seems to work.

Thanks

I haven't used PhotoVcarve in a long time. I have used the PhotoVCarve function in VCarve desktop10.5, but the PhotoVCarve program gives a little more flexiblity. My ShapeOko postprocessors for PhotoVCarve show up in the PhotoVCarve post processor directory, but they do not show up on the drop-down ...

Thanks.

Lots of great ideas.
