I posted a thread last week about how the Carvewright saved me quite a few steps building a crib. A few asked to post some pictures of what I was discussing.
Very simply, the design on the crib required cutting a piece of the headboard in three sections, cutting dados, and then gluing the three pieces back together. This to be repeated for the other section of the crib. The dados would be the area in which pyramid shapes would be glued.
I saved a lot of time and effort and gained a lot in appearance by using the Carvewright to cut a carve regions (the dados). Then I embellished it a little by placing a carving on the side opposite the dados.
The attached pictures show the headboard, and then a little closer for a one side view of the carving and then the opposiste side for the pyrmaid cutouts with one of the pyramids showing.
I did learn something cutting out those carve regions. They ended up slightly large than designed, maybe an 1/8", because I failed to take into account the width of the carving bit. Lesson learned.
