Very nice looking project. As to filling the carves, I've had good luck with a product known as Fimoclay (Hobby Lobby and Michaels). It's a clay based product that you work into the carves then...
Have seen a number of references to this product [Oramask] related to its use in protecting/painting letters, etc.
As usual, when a project comes along the might benefit from it's use, I...
That's it!
ThankS!!!!
Seems as though I remember a pattern similar to the attached image being posted here not too long ago - but at my age, i cannot remember if I did........or merely dreamt it!
This ring a bell with...
Thanks! Appreciate all your work - and patience!!
After cleaning out my shop during the holidays.......and discovering how many sleds I've built over the years ----- I'm ready to go with the Universal Carrier.
Have read the entire string of posts...
Oscar,
Great job on the pattern!
My father-in-law also served on a Balao class. ( Been married to his daughter for 36 years - this tidbit didn't come up until this past weekend - then comes...
Thanks for the response.
Merry Christmas!!
Ran into an oddity this morning, perhaps the veterans of the group can enlighten me.
Simple coaster project, one centerline letter and a circular cut.
Centerline running a 60 degree bit

Thank you, Kindly!
That did the trick.
[I knew there was an answer - I just wasn't experienced enough to figure it out]
Thanks again!

Another quick question that I'm quite sure a quick answer exists - but cannot for the life of me see it.
Using designer 1.187, can a draw a line and set it to an angle that is not an integer, i.e....
Once again, I come Hat in Hand to the “Folks who can do what I can’t” – with a pattern request.
Fielded a request to carve a college logo – image attached. I’ve erased the lettering – that I can...
Thanks for the input.
Will check the local glass shops. Cope Plastics has a distribution center here, just not sure if they handle retails sales.
Thanks!!

Where do ya'll acquire clear cast acrylic? Was expecting to find it in the CW store, but realized they only offer white, translucent. (For lithopanes, I reckon)
Any guidance greatly appreciated....
Gentlemen,
Thank you, kindly, for your efforts.
Oscar - thanks for the roadmap. Haven't worked with blender yet, but perhaps this may be the impetus to do so.
Played around a bit with...
Appreciate all the input! At work now, so can't do much.
Oscar, appreciate your efforts. Not familiar with your process - and don't have the software you reference. Thank you for taking a...
Fielded a query yesterday about carving a Georgetown University logo.
Not quite sure where to start with this type of image.
Is this doable - or do I let it lie?
Image attached
Thanks!
Once again, Sir: You da Man!!
Awesome support on this forum.
Thanks!

Don't have the STL importer - but can see the benefit of importing a 3D object, slicing it into 0.75 slabs, and reassembling.
Has anyone done this with a football? Essentially creating a wooden...
Thank you, Kindly, Sir.
Makes sense.
Thanks!
Afternoon All,
Been away for a spell - trying to get back up to speed.
Have a non-closed path that I would like to cut along with a .125 straight bit- but to preserve the desired dimension,...
Have noticed that, as I tend to use the zero-depth carve quite often. With the letters having a height of 100, kinda expected the same result - but not so, hence the query.
Thanks again!!
So...
Makes perfect sense. Will give that a shot. Not critical on this carve, but would be nice to have up my sleeve next time I end up carving material where I want the surface to remain untouched.
...
When I design text in the Raster mode, it seems as though a slight, albeit very slight, amount of material is removed from the "surface" of the letters during the carving.
Any way to leave the...
