I am waiting for my CW to arrive and I have a million projects running through my head while awaiting the arrival of the new baby (bet at least one of you out there knows that feeling:D ).
I was wondering if I can cut a shape out of a board - for example if I were to take a 12" x 14" board, can I cut out a shape, say a heart shape, from the center of the board? If so, how would I do it?
Also, when carving text into wood, say for example a name bar for a desk, do you simply type in the name, select the text and go from there? I don't understand the difference between the Raster, Outline and Centerline. I would assume that Outline would do what it says, but what about Raster and Centerline? Does one work better than the other?
Thanks in advance for any replys.
