Re: carving inside of pot

When I do opposing sides like this I have to utilize vectors as a boundary (inside and outside) and machine it seperatly. It requirs some math, which may be difficult to explain but it requires two files, I am not aware of a way to see both sides at once. I hope this helps

Re: CNC router parts

I built a 5X8 table from them, and used a good deal of their NEMA 34 parts to build up my electronics. I love my set up. Since I have needed (wanted?) to upgrade things and they have all the knowledge and parts available to do so for their machines. This includes making room on the gantry without lo...

Re: Solid Surface Signs

Thanks for the explanation. I believe the person that is paying for the work, should get exactly what they want, too. That in itself can present some challenges and if they are happy, you've done good. You'r exactly right about them getting exactly what they want! To ensure this I always take a pho...

Re: Solid Surface Signs

Sorry Twizted, long day and misread who was who. Customer IS always right! Happy customers come back and give good word of mouth. No issues - I figured that's what happened. My customers seem to have the gift of gab so I always do exactly as they request. I airbrushed the cone on the sign a few tim...

Re: First run at Aspire

You may do the face in one species of wood and get a higher relief from it. Then inlay/onlay it onto another species to make a sort of intarsia out of it. Then all that is required is a clear coat to finish it off. Just an idea to fix your relief issue. ;)

Re: First Big Project

WoW! I'm impressed! Did you attend any school for this or do you have a nack for these sort of things? I don't have the patients for such an art but have a deep respect for it. Maybe its my OCD talking

Re: First run at Aspire

I'd definitely put it on my wall! ;). I'm planning on making a tree trunk "keebler elf" bottom to a rather nice looking 5 foot Cypress slab i have had in my shop for over a year. I'm just not sure where it will fit! This reminds me of that project quite a bit. Unfortunately its a personal one so tho...

Re: Solid Surface Signs

That was te particular font that I used. I personally am not a fan of the font purely because of this. However, this was a "customers always right" situation. I could have made the lettering more round but who knows - that could have been what they liked as they requested this particular font by nam...

Re: Corian

You may want to find yourself a local distributor - they will have all the information to get it done right. It doesn't always need to be Corian by name. Corian is pretty steep in price compared to Hanex or Magnatite brand name material. A local distributor will have the proper adhesive and MSDS as ...
