I'm proud to be featured in this month's Vectric Aspire newsletter and YES I did not leave Carvewright out of it. Without their awesome machine I would have never started this journey.
I hope you enjoy reading.

Very interesting article and gives us more insight into how you turned into the sign maker we have learned to expect beautiful things from. Glad to see your expertise and effort getting recognition. Appreciate all you share, gives me a goal for some of my efforts.
Thx, Rick H

Thank you so much for the kind comments. It all started with the support of the people on this forum when I purchased my first machine. I called Floyd, Terry Thompson, Eddie, Michael and many others for help and guidance to get me going and understand what I was doing.The people of Carvewright were very supportive when I had issues. After creating our users group in Washington several years ago we learned from each other. The rest as they say is history. Thank you everyone, you are a very caring group of people!

Tom,
Very well written article. I can relate to listening to the CarveWright, as I too have learned the sounds of the machine and can tell from a distance exactly what the machine is doing based on my design. Beautiful sign work, and very informative article. Thank You!

Congratulations Tom.
You are an inspiration. It seems like I am about to write this off as a hobby as I didn't do so well on Christmas sales this year.
Reading this gives me hope that I can convert my cabinet shop to a cnc shop.
I know you put lots of time, effort, blood, sweat and tears to get where you are.

Well Done !!!

As stated already....Great article Tom. Having meet you and visited with you in your shop I can testify to all the hard work you put into making your business a first class business. Only a person that loves what he is doing can spend the countless hours and hard work you've put into making a business grow like yours has. Wishing you more success in the coming year(s).

I am humbled by your comments, thank you so much everyone! You are so kink. You should hear my shop when I have my large cnc and two of my carvewrights going last month all at once, so glad I now wear ear muffs and a dust mask. There is much talent on this forum, Thank you all!! It is so much fun to create these carvings for my customers and learn new techniques every time. Anyone can get sales from marketing your business. I don't pay for any advertising. I just show my carvings at local networking groups, Facebook, Pinterest, a blog and a good website. Everything links back to my website. Have fun!
