Good to hear you've carved ipe w/o problems. I'll be gluing up 4" boards so there should be no warp issues. I'll change bits 1/2 way through I think.

My son and S-I-L (who got...

I've volunteered (should know better) to make a sign for an outdoor display at an Air Force Radar Site Museum that we're in the process of establishing in Bellefontaine, OH.

Since it will be...

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I have to thank those members who helped me with the bamboo pattern and also...

Very nice work Gary - I've got to give that Corian a try. What paints did you use?

This is a project I'm going to donate to my Pleiku Group; we'll see in three weeks at our Lexington reunion if they like it. Wife is going to help make a 'storage/carry bag' for it as it's quite...

Thanks everyone, off to the store(s) to get paint - don't care for the paint markers. First coat of clear shellac applied.

About to do my first project that will include painting. Using bamboo that will include some centerline text and a couple of patterns that will be painted, the remaining parts of the project will be...

Guess there could be different methods to attach the film to the board. I used a spray adhesive on the back side then did a couple of finish coats over the board as usual. I would think...

I use an inkjet - it will work with laser but you print on the 'SMOOTH' side. The 3M Multipurpose Transparency Film that I am using has instructions/printer compatibility info on the back of the...

Do you know about the Radar Site Vets reunion in Dayton, OH 28 Jun - 3 Jul? Next year it's to be in the Wisconsin Dells - just an hour away from us . . . . finaly one close to home! JOIN US?

Thanks Chip -

A transparency is what is used for graphic presentations using an overhead projector (old school stuff these days). If you check the 'media' options in the paper/quality drop box...

Just finished this (5 hour carve time) plaque that is to be a surprise for a good friend that has coordinated our annual reunions and hosted our website for many years.

Done on Ash (14x30.5) with...

Very nice Clint - good luck with Masterpiece.

That's a really great start for me, thanks so much. Think I'm learning a lot every time I have a question or ask for assistance.

Looking for something along the lines of this horse pattern but with dogs! Different breeds, head-on, profile, sitting, standing, running whatever would be great. I thought of using several...

Thank you - that looks like it will do the job quite well.

Like the A10 the A1E has done an impressive job that the 'fast burners' couldn't do. On their rescue flights they were called Sandy! ...

Thanks blantz - but the lower left prop is a problem as is the difference in ptn depth from tail to nose. Can you or someone 'fix' or do a different one?

I appreciate the attempt.

Looking for an Air Force 'A1E' aircraft pattern - perhaps something like above w/o a background. Still working on the plaque for the...

Good for you, hope it works out!

Looking forward to building one.

THANKS

Following your sled project closely and looking forward to a final design that I will make. The 17" wide board is something I would like to see. I believe you could carve most of the...

That is fantastic . . . . THANKS.

I'm working on a plaque for my Pleiku AB Association (Vietnam) reunion and would like add a 'bamboo' pattern on it. Saw a pic of one that "Pratyeka' posted way back in 2009 but can't find any link...

Very nice piece. I've been trying to use smaller fonts but with no luck. What are the parameters (font, font size, type bit, etc.) you use to get such good results?

Mike

Thanks to both of you - I tried the web search too but didn't come up with anything as good - may not have used Google though.

WOW - Where did you find it,on the Pleiku website? Thanks!


Is there info anywhere on how to improve JPG pictures to improve quality? That's what the gray scale is for isn't it? I'd like to...
