A facebook friend from school, PM'ed me that he liked my "Carved With Love" page. And that he wanted one of the two piece face crosses. After we agreed on a price... he threw down the gauntlet. He informed me that his King James version of the bible says, "And my King James Bible tells me to have no grave image of Jesus, so I would need one with his eyes open and alive." !! I tried to explain that the pattern was old and had been around so long, no one knows who created it. But only the owner could edit the pattern. He said he was patient and had faith I would figure it out. So I did!! I didn't edit the pattern! I just clicked all of the merge, clip and group options until something worked! Any ways... Here is the MPC if any one wants to use it. I know these are always hot sellers around Christmas and Easter!

That is funny, because I gave one to a Catholic Prest and never said anything. Now I have to ask him

Would it be possible to have the board to 13 1/2 wide I tried not working well for me

Thanks for the pattern good work.

Graven means sculped or engraved, refering to Idols and such.

The trick is the proper position of the hidden "magical" oval! lol

I think as long as you don’t pray to that peace of wood you would be OK.

I am really amazed on how that OVAL works. Way to go BERT..

Likely a stupid question. Why is the board length so long for this MPC? It would seem that the length could be much shorter thereby saving on wood. The pattern dimensions are 8.656 length and 12.648 on width. The board width for the pattern is 14.5 which is about one inch on top and bottom on the cross which makes sense to this newbie. But the length is 8.656. To me, it would make more sense if the length were about 11 inches giving a bit more than one inch on the left and right of the cross making the total board length in the CW about 18 inches. With the board length on this pattern at 24 inches, it would mean a total board length on 31 inches using the 3.5 inches extra on each side. Again sorry for the likely dumb question but I try to conserve my wood as much as possible. I appreciate any insight. Thanks

I tend to carve a lot of MDF. I have it quartered into 2x4 pieces. The when I come home I rip them into three 14.5 pieces each. This gives me 12 per board. Plus 5 inch ends that I can pocket hole onto the ends if I need longer than 24. So by default I use this size in designer. Not other reason than that. You can change the sizes yourself. Just be sure to reposition and resize the components. Especially the magic oval!

You can make it any size you want. The trick is to hide the new face. And then reposition and resize the OVAL to cover the raised portions of the old face.

You and Eddie have been very inspirational! I really enjoyed following you both developing your skills in the pattern sharing depot! Having a couple months with out a cut motor, has definitely improved my skills.

Is there a way to rotate the image 90 degrees. I don't have a sled yet, so if I use a 10" board, it limits the height of my cross. If I could rotate 90 degrees I could get a 10 or 12 inch cross. Can this be done via designer? Newbie here, had the machine 5 days and still have a lot to learn. trying to figure out what you can do with designer, before I plunk down more $$$ for some of the other software packages.

badbert

Unfortunately you can not rotate a cut path. Gimme a sec and I'll fix it fer ya!

Proctorw

Awesome Thanks! Could you have turned the pattern without the cut path? Just trying to figure out what you can / can't do with designer. Did you do this with one of the other software packages? When I bought my machine last week at the Ft. Worth show, Joe from CarveWright suggested getting to know designer, then figuring out what other packages to get. I do like this approach. That being said, what would be the next one to get for creating my own designs?

badbert
03-17-2013, 08:27 AM
Yes the pattern can be rotated. I don't have any of the other packages.

You can only rotate Raster files ((PTN). You would need to remove the cut path, rotate the patterns and then re-apply the cut path. If you have more than one PTN then you would need to select all PTN's you want to rotate or it will put a cut path on each PTN file. The cut path is a floating Vector file.

The Designer program comes with the machine; you need your serial number to apply. Next I would get the Pattern Editor/ with the scanning Probe, and the Centerline program. I don’t use the other CW programs. I use other market programs. If you send me a PM with your e-mail I can send you some samples of my patterns and PDF’s of how I use my other programs.

I did register the machine and have been using Designer. I think the scanning probe is my next purchase. This weekend I just ordered the Dust Collector hood. I pm'd you with my information. Thanks for your help.

just a quick FYI- the scanning probe from lowes comes from LHR and is usually significantly cheaper (and comes with the pattern editor software too)

you'll probably save on shipping too
