I finished this about two weeks ago for a raffle sponsored by my wife's Lioness Club. I make something for them to raffle off every year. Last year it was a blanket chest that they made over $1,000 on. I used an U-bilt plan. Of course all the carving was done on my Carvewright. (because Sears still has my Compucarve since 3/25) It's solid red oak.

:)Beautiful work, I was wondering about the height of the backrest. Is it less than 14.5 inches tall so it would fit in the carvewright in one piece or did you have to join to pieces together?

Beautiful and a great idea. I also belong to a Lions Club and we are always looking for ways to raise money.

It's actually a bit less than 14 inches.

Thank you everyone for your kind words.

that has to be one of the coolest things that I have seen, on here. It's neat to do a small piece, like I do. But, that is just awesome. Keep up the great work.

I really enjoy seeing the craftsmanship and ideas that everyone here shares. So many of you are at a level that I know I will never reach. Ernie, what you have done ranks right up there with the best. :)

Hello Tim,

I want to encourage you that you certainly can achieve a high-level of productivity with your machine.

The Tips & Tricks free monthly newsletter (http://www.carvewright.com/cms/tips-and-tricks) provides all kinds of info that will help you understand layout and operational techniques that you can use to create just about anything you can imagine. (If you're not already signed up, just go to http://www.carvewright.com and fill in the "Join Our Mailing List" box.

Also, the Monthly Project Subscription (http://www.carvewright.com/cms/subscription) is another excellent way to "push the envelope" of creativity with your machine. Not only do you get a complete project each month (for just $10 for each one!), but you will learn a TON of what the machine is really capable of just by virtue of observing how the projects are laid out and running the projects yourself.

I'm risking that this may sound like a "shameless plug" to some, but for goodness sakes - I honestly believe in using every resource available, no matter who, what or where the source is or came from. Do this, and you'll soon be making projects you might not have previously thought you could!

Shameless....shameless....feel better now Michael? LOL
Keep on plugging away! The newsletter is worth its weight in GOLD. There has not been an issue that hasn't provided insights to carving more efficiently. Rock on my friend!

Thanks Audie - glad you find them useful!

Several times a week, I'll get folks calling who have never heard of...

...the Free Forum
...the Free Tips & Tricks
...the Project Subscription Newsletter

So many of their questions could easily be answered on their own if they knew about (or used) the resources they have available - and the best ones are totally FREE!

I have been told that all recently packaged machines now include info sheets that do point people to these resources. Kudos to CarveWright!

Michael,

Your Tips and Tricks do come in handy. I look over them on a daily basis, as a refresher course. And we are adding material to the new machines with more information.
