Re: Aspire 9

After further looking, it appears that the additional clipart is for Aspire users ONLY. I guess that's there way of enticing you to upgrade to
the Aspire version. It would have been nice if they would have thrown a few crumbs to us lowly V-Carve Pro users, but whatever!!!

Re: Aspire 9

I also did not see any additional clipart. On my portal download page, it has the V9 3D Tabs Clipart listed, but does not show the V9 additional clipart as in the attachment that Adrian posted. I tried to post a picture of what is available in my portal download page, but it will not let me. Am I mi...

Re: Beads of Courage box

Turned another BOC box and engraved it. This time the "S" in the Superman logo is facing the right direction.

Thanks for all the comments

Re: Beads of Courage box

Thanks for all the comments, they are appreciated.
If the reference to the taper, referring to the lid, it wasn't done on the rotary axis. I turned the lid on my regular lathe. The star in the middle
was done with a woodburner. The only thing done on the rotary axis were the logos.

Re: Beads of Courage box

Well, it’s just been pointed out to me, and I never noticed it, the “S” is reversed in the Superman logo. Back to the lathe. Hope I can get it to fit the lid again.

Beads of Courage box

Turned this BOC box out of cypress then used the rotary attachment on my CNC to do some engraving on it. Since I am a fan of the Super hero movies and since this will be going to a child that is undergoing some type of chemo treatment, I decided to use a Super hero theme. The engravings were done wi...

Graduation Pen & box

Made this pen and box for our cousins son who just graduated from LSU. The pen is Purple and gold laminated stock and the box is cypress. The tiger head was v-carved and then filled in with coffee grounds and CA glue.

Medallions for chairs

My B-I-L and wife were one of the many people whose home flooded last year in South Louisiana. They are back in the house and all the work has been completed. They were able to save their dining room table and chairs but had to refinish them. Each chair had a medallion on the back that he wanted to ...

Rotary work

Still playing around with my rotary attachment for my CNC. My daughters F-I-L is a big Harley fan and has two Harleys that he rides. So, I decided to make him a pepper grinder with the Harley logo engraved in it. Then, we have good friends that live in Texas, so I engraved a TX. Longhorn on one side...

Re: Pepper Grinders

Chris, I got them from Woodcraft, but there are several companies that carry them, Woodcraft had them on sale. I was well pleased with the quality of the mechanism. The only thing is, the parts are metal, I would recommend that you use it for pepper only. It will grind salt, but it will corrode the ...

Pepper Grinders

Playing around with the rotary attachment. This is a style of peppermill that I make for a spice store that carry some if my items. I thought it would be nice if I could do some engraving on them. Fleur-de-lis are a big seller on just about anything, so I put a couple of Fleur-de-lis on one and then...

Re: First try using rotary attachment on Stinger I

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate them. I cut the shape of the hammer head out with a band saw and fine tuned it with a rotary sander.
