I set up my new CNC from Pilot Pro, now I will be able to use my Carvewrights for small projects and the new one for the big ones. But it is getting a little tight in my shop. I am looking forward to what I can create now.

LOL!!! Yea Floyd he was not happy was actually pouting but he is leaving town again so it was time to take my cnc home. For those that want to know what we are talking about, we built it at my friends Stan's house. Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Good advise Lawrence! I am looking forward to a lot fun carvings! I wish I could make pellets for my wood stove Floyd.

Hello floyd
I am still pouting. I thought he bought the machine for me(lol) I guess I am going to have to buy my own.

Thanks Floyd for the sources. Terry I am learning Vectric Aspire. I sure has everything I will need. This is my first carve for a customer's wedding. It is 17" X 25" carved in maple.

I'm envious. But then it wouldn't fit in my shop anyway. That looks like a beautiful machine and I wish you the very best in your growing business.

Did you do this wedding sign on your new CNC?

Good looking sign.

Was good seeing you last week at the conference.

Thanks Robert, Yes it is my first carve with the new CNC, it will have a antique brass background with gold words and design. It was wonderful seeing you brother!

Well, I haven't gotten out of my shop much lately but it looks like I need a road trip to Bonney Lake! I would like to see your new machine. It is something I'm going to have to do but really hate the thought of spending that much moola! Maybe more Carvewrights will still work. I have both of them going as I'm typing this. Since most of my work is smaller items maybe I won't have to go to a commercial machine for a good long while yet. We'll see.

Glad to hear your machines are running Terry. You are always welcome to attend our users group meeting, next one is at the end of July, or come by any time my friend! The big CNC is for larger signs, less gluing and better detail.

I'm looking forward to seeing your work on the new machine. You mentioned "better detail", a comparison review would be really cool. After you get a few hours on it please let us know how you think it compares to the CW.
