By now most of you know I am clueless.
After trying several things I now know several ways not to do things.

Now with my design I have the contoured backside of the spoon. On the other side I...

I think attaching the mpc would show better what I originally tried with the first photo.
I used the oval tool for the bowl and connecting lines for the handle.
Then I applied the curved puff to...

I think I answered my own question.
I outlined what is shown in my previous post.
Then I deleted everything except the outline.
Then I puffed the outline.
I am not sure if this was the best way...

While attempting to model the backside of my spoon I get an error message that says;
Members of a vector group must be closed and may not intersect.
So apparently I need to figure out a different...

Thank You.
That makes sense about the bits.
I will post the mpc when I come up with my own spoon pattern.

Thank You Bergerud.
Do you have any idea why at the very start it prompted for the cutting bit and then prompted for the carving bit before carving started?
Just trying to figure out what to do if...

This was my first carve so I probably did a few things wrong but I am not sure what.
I had read a thread about a 2 sided spoon carve from a short while back.
It looked simple enough so I copied...

Thank You SharonB

It looks like the problem was my old computer. I have tried my wife's laptop and the project uploaded 1st try.
As I think about the plate project 5+ hours of carving time is a bit much so probably...

The reinstall did not work. Now I am going to try a different computer.

Thanks for the generous offer SharonB. I am near Cave Junction so it is a few hours away.
I just got off the phone with tech support and am reinstalling designer3 to see if that fixes things.

I checked the Flash Manager again and noticed that it says installed firmware version BAD on one card, the other has latest version.
It wont allow me to update the latest firmware saying that the...

I tried uploading the sample shell project unsuccessfully about a dozen times and finally got it to upload all the way.
The upload keeps failing at different points, sometimes when flashing machine...

I reformatted one and am trying again.

Now the computer freezes up when I try to upload.
Task manager says the carvewright program project and upload are not responding.

So when all else...

Here is one of the error codes I get before upload.

I have tried all 4 ports. Furthest I have gotten was 80% with the upload.
It goes along uploading then stalls for a moment before the error message.
I have 2 flash drives and cards and it happens...

When I click on the flash manager I get another error message.
I am wondering if my usb ports are too old and loose.

I made some changes and decided to just carve the plate without the salmon.
But when I try to upload the project to the flash drive it uploads about 80% and then I get an error message that says...

Thank You Bergerud.
I will change the front to back like you mentioned and use a larger board. It makes sense.

another question....how do I attach thumbnails and files to my post like you have...

I am attempting my first project based on this ceramic plate we got at an art show a few years ago....

Thank You Steve and mtylerfl .
Sorry for the slow response.
We have had lots of snow so internet service has been spotty.

My machine arrived so I will be setting it up and will get started...

I found this Tips and Tricks article "Carving Jigs - Carrier Boards, Sleds and Rails" that explains a lot to me.
But.....I am sure I will have more questions. So thank You in advance for your...

After watching one of Steve's videos about cutting out patterns I had a few questions.

One of my questions is for a project that would be carving pendants from 1/4" to 1/8" stock.

Can I just...

I have watched all of your videos that I could find.
Your teaching style works very well for me. Thank You.
