Fletcher,

Tried my new dust collection attachment for the first time today. It works great! I'm collecting at least 98% of the dust. It's even keeping the inside of the cut area clean. I can...

Smoken - The project is yours. You can alter anything you like.

I agree with JRoot 100%. I don't mind getting to know my machine intimately. I also own and run printing presses. They are very similar to CW when they run they run great and make me good money. When...

Dave,

I'm currently using version 1.153. Seems to work the best so far. Past versions gave me terrible rendering performance and many crashes. You won't be able to load the last 2 POMs but this...

I wish some of you guys would quit bickering like old ladies on our forum. I'm tired of weeding through the tripe to get to the facts! Take it to the PM if you must.

Hey Guys,

I quit using IE years ago, as I was experiencing more and more glitches and slower speeds on the internet. I switched to Firefox by Monzilla and haven't a problem since. The speed is...

It depends how long it takes for them to cut a deal with Ron:mrgreen:

I don't remember what version of designer was used for the tea box project. But, some of my projects were originally designed before the Designer program allowed for a "max cut depth" assignment....

I agree it sounds like you will have no problem getting 3/4" usable lumber out of this stock. My thought is at 94¢ a board foot you can't go wrong. Even "selects or better" allows for 10% waste.

Hi Ralph,

Not to dispute the wisdom of the "pros" here. But I was concerned that the stop collars might not be perfectly balanced. Sounds like they work okay. I took a bit more pricey, but fool...

Don't plan to "rush the finish" tomorrow night either ; )

I'm taking mine as far as possible today. Overnight dry for wherever I left off. Here's the hook . . . If I'm not completely done I give it to her as is and apologize that it's not finished. The...

Bad idea to replace breaker with a higher amperage without upgrading the wiring to match the load. I've had great success heating my un-insulated garage with a torpedo heater. They are a bit pricey...

With straight running lines like I see in your mpc, this one might be better suited to traditional tools. (Router and Tablesaw) With careful setup you could use a dado bit to thin the stock down the...

Oak has too much open grain. When carving you expose a great amount of end grain which is always kind of raggedy. Sticking with the close grained woods will help. Also I'm hooked on the "optimal"...

I'm using OS 10.6.2 and so far so good. Had some problems with the last 2 versions but the latest Designer seems okay. I'm a Mac, and by the way, I will NOT tone it down, either.

Is the 5th String tuned at the high or low end of the musical scale?
BEAUTIFUL instruments!

I usually buy my select pine a Lowes. The 4 footers are easy to handle and two 4 footers are cheaper than one eight foot. My last visit a bought four 1X12X4. Of the four two of them only measured...

Having been a traditional wood carver and woodworker for many years, I sometimes feel like I'm cheating by using my CarveWright and taking credit for beautiful work. But then the light bulb went on!...

Just finished a African Mahogany buffet. The squirrely Grain and the color look exactly like the lumber I used.

Hey Guys,

Just a heads up to check your older projects for "max cut depth". I finally got around to carving the "Wilderness Eagle Clock" project. After several hours of smooth and quiet carving,...

Don't know that I've seen the table you describe, but they have some good plans available.

Thanks for the quick response Ron. I do, however, have one complaint about the Rock Chuck. When I leave my machine carving in the basement, I can barely hear it at the computer in the family room...

Hi Guys and Gals,
I installed my Rock Chuck and did a carve. VERY pleased with quality and noise level while carving the MTyler Wilderness Clock. I did have a problem, though. I will save you the...

Hey All,
FYI I have spoken with Adobe about Photoshop and Illustrator and their licenses are transferable. They offer a form which both parties sign transferring ownership from one individual to the...
