Sorted! Many thanks. I used the search for open vectors from the edit menu instead of using the join vectors icon, once forud the vector was joined in the usual way.

I have closed the vectors but the dialogue box says there is 1 open vector and I can't find it. If I cut on the line I will loose the chamver around the perimeter, I have never encountered this problem before...

Hi, I am trying to cut the toolpath shown in the picture, all I want is the outer profile but for some reason it is implying I am using the wrong tool. I am trying to recreate the original shown in other image. Any help would be gratefully received as it is driving me nuts... Totem.jpg 452px-BR_Stat...

what a beautiful box and wonderful idea. Exactly what is put in the box Christmas Eve Box? I assume it is something to be opened up on Christmas Eve.

Desktop doesn't support gadgets. You would need to upgrade to the Pro version.

Cheers, many thanks...

Good for you, Nick! Thank you for showing us the photos and letting us know you conquered every “obstacle”! Proud of you, sir.

And thank you sir for your guidence!

Another nice project of the month from Michael Tyler. After some initial confusion over cutters and altering the layout, I eventually ended up with a pleasing result.

Yes, all went perfectly apart from the handle, I am making a new pair in Mahogany as I had a suitable piece lying around...

How strange is that, the two halves of the handle have turned out different sizes....

I do have a 1 1/4 surfacing bit. The boards were in the car anyway so it was easier, took less than 5 minutes to do 2x5 ft lengths...

I will amend accordingly. I have tried it out and the results are encouraging. I took my 7/8 boards to a joiners shop and had it pushed through the thicknesser to 3/4", altered the layout and victory was mine! Many thanks for the help and guidence folks...

This should do the trick, 6mm x 3mm tip diameter..

Brilliant! Thanks Michael, off to Amazon to find one. No wonder the one I had snapped!
