Now that the cat is out of the bag (See the www.Carvewright page) I suppose it is time to show off some of the walking canes I have been making for nearly three years. Take a look at this: http://customcarved.web.officelive.com/default.aspx the red tabs on the left side of the pages have numerous pictures.
As you can see the Carvewright is capable of rotating and carving round stock. Yep,, just like a 4th axis machine does it.

I do have a question of how your setup compares tot eh LHR CO2 Attachment. I always kind of wished they made that available to end users but I think I remember reading at one time it was for educational users only.
Doug it has nothing in common with the CO2 attachment.. My "Rotary Jig" Rotates the carving stock as it is being carved. It carves in 360 degrees wraping the carving AROUND the carving stock. It is limited to 14 inch stock, 2 inches in diameter, and you must leave one inch on each end uncarved for it to rotate the stock with.Quote:

I also added a picture of the Carvewright (Cover Removed to take the picture) with the round piece being carved. As you can see, it is Round.
This picture was when I was carving a Cross in Cedar, to become a walking cane.

It doesn't say so in the advertisment, BUT, The Rotary Jig will be shipped with TWO pieces of 2" by 14" Carving stock, (Maple or Birch) so that you are ready to start.
Got mine ordered! Looking forward to giving it a spin!!Quote:

Yes, this is EXCITING NEWS I have been waiting for.... I knew of the working prototype and MUM was the word until it was released... This is a pretty EXCITING new item for the CW.....
And wait until you hear the reply I got a few minutes ago when I mentioned removing the 2 jacking screws and moving the keypad aside..... This will blow your mind.....
GREAT WORK !!!!!!
AL
oh very cool !!!!! how do you design for a 360 carve?
EXCELLENT!!!
This seems an excellent product and I look forward to buying one-- (right after the STL importer) -- a couple of questions I'm sure others will want to hear about too
1. Does it work with sandpaper and/or the rubber belts?
2. Will it work with the QC/Carvetight/ROCK chuck on a machine? In other words, are there any limitations based on the type of chuck?
3. Has it been tried with any of the common Dust collection systems (ringneck, fletcher's DC, bergerund) in place?
Thanks in advance, and I look forward to hearing more about how this amazing contraption works!
