Electrification Station - Project of the Month MAY 2011

[toymad]

I want to get the The CarveWright Project of the Month Subscription Newsletter, I want it to start with the Electrification Station. When I go to sighnup and pay, it is still showing the project for April.

Thank you, everyone!

Hey Mike can you tell us what type font that was you used with POM with the words "Electrification Station"? They look neat and I'd like to use those elsewhere if possible.

Thanks, JerryB

Hi Jerry,

I used the font "Algerian"...but, I converted it to curves, then node edited it afterwards to remove the font's built-in "shadow" and did a little customizing by hand. (You'll see what I mean by "shadow" when you see the font.)

EDIT: Jerry, I did a quick search and see there is a "basic" Algerian font available (no shadow)! There is also a free font called Lynwood that is very similar to the commercial Algerian font.

Hi toymad,

Glad you want to start off your subscription with the ELECTRIFICATION STATION - I really enjoyed making that one, myself!

I think you'll be ok by signing up this month, but if you want to verify they start you off with the May project (i.e. the station), you can call CarveWright or just send a private message to Lynnfrwd (Connie) here on the forum with your inquiry - she'll make sure it happens as planned for you!

The Electrification Station is now active.

Just so most of you guys know how to tell in the future...there is only one active project at a time. Up until today around 12:20 PM, it was the Rose Motif Serving Tray. Once I changed the active project to Electrification Station, then all of you subscribers started to receive it via email and into your customer accounts.

So, if it comes up in the future and I'm not around to answer, you can check your account. If the new one is there, then it is safe to assume anyone registering will get the new one. If you have NOT received that months yet into your account, a new registrant may still get the previous months project as their first. (And maybe that's what they are wanting...to catch the previous month's before it gets changed.) As soon as it does get changed, they will receive the newly active project and have used up 2 of their 12 months.

....and now you know!

I have downloaded the project and can't wait to carve it.

i just joined the carvers club. got the ok from the boss.. aka wife..... has anyone recieved the free patterns for this month? I didn't know where else to post this question. Love the elec station by the way....

[rickyz]

guess I signed up for the projects only. I e-mailed carvewright to see if I could upgrade because that's what I thought I was getting. didn't realize you could get the one year of projects only without joining the carve club. I guess I will have to wait a year since it doesn't make sense paying twice for the projects just to get the extras. that sucks.....

Rick,

They are 2 different subscriptions. Carvers club is a maintenance subscription that at times offers free patterns along with discounts on parts and the Project of the Month is a monthly project like this one..
