I've been wanting to do basically the same thing. My boy and I had a lot of fun with those cars and I kept them, 4 or 5 in all, I think. He's 19 now, but I've always wanted a way to display them. How...

99% of the wood I use for projects comes from local sawmills. Most of it, are from logs I haul in.
My suggestions:

If I'm after 8' boards, I usually cut my logs at 9' to leave some room for...

That was me! Haven't used my CW since it happened, I lost so many patterns I haven't had time to rebuild. I tried to start a new project the other day, but it kept telling me my patterns were not...

I guess what makes me mad on this one, is that I've never installed an update of any software, CW or otherwise, that totally deleted all data in an existing folder that was located in my documents....

Same thing here, the system restore I tried didn't help a thing with the CW problem, but corrupted my profile on the computer. So, not only did I lose all my CW stuff, I lost all of my internet...

It funny, this machine/software can amaze me one day and have me looking for a sledge hammer the next. I was ready to trash it all this morning, now, I don't know. I haven't put down the sledge just...

I'm running Windows XP professional, it's a company issued computer and I have work related software that will not function correctly with Windows Vista or 7. The reason I had everything in one...

I talked to tech support. Basically, they say it's all my fault and yes it's all lost. I had everything saved in the Carvewright folder, the actual program, my personal stuff, my backups, etc. and...

I just updated and everything is gone! All my mpcs, patterns, vector art, everything I've done for the past 3 years is gone! I updated just as every other time, save it in the same location, etc....

How about carved grilles for your heat and air openings. My return air grille in my house is in the living room and I've always hated the way it looks. I've been thinking about making a carving to...

I just got the email about the update, and all the links are bad. They take me to a site in a foreign language and the Windows download link brings up a file type windows doesn't recognize. I updated...

You're right about the inset, but that wasn't a number I put in there. I've never had the greatest luck with cutouts, so I usually just have the machine draw the outline and cut it out on a bandsaw....

I pulled up a little sign I did a few months ago to edit it for another use, and now one of the vectors has got a weird little jaunt. Can't figure out why?

I bought a used machine and had read all the reviews and suggested upgrades too. But, I wouldn't just jump on the upgrade bandwagon just yet. I'd use the machine just as it is for while and get to...

I love using cherry and walnut. I've even had good results with regular pine under certain conditions. With pine, you have to run the carve on optimal and your carving elements need to have draft on...

The reason I asked was about mold making. I posted a topic the other day about making patterns with the CW for sand molds. I'm totally new to that hobby, but I've been reading a lot about it. Seems...

Does anyone know the actual "degree" of draft? For example, does a medium draft put a 3 degree taper to a vertical service? Or large draft is x degrees?

Well, I don't know... I think the pattern should be an exact copy of the finished casting. If you were making a rubber stamp, it would have to backwards, right? In a sand cast mold, you would be...

It might cost a few dollars, but you can buy a timer relay that has a knob on it to adjust the "blink" time. Some have 2 knobs so you can adjust the on time and off time differently. I bought one a...

I'm interested in using my CW to make some molds for sand casting. I'd like for them to come out of the machine pretty clean with minimal cleanup work. They would be sealed or painted and will have...

I've made a few handles and utensils out of Bodark (Osage Orange) for the kitchen and they've withstood the sink and dishwasher countless times and are still holding up fine. But...I usually rough...

I'm curious how these will be used, do people typically hang them on the trees alongside a walking path or trail? Randomly placed throughout a garden? Indoors? They're really interesting and look...

How about using the CW to make an elaborate custom frame for a piece of art?

Mine's loud, doesn't do what I tell it to half of the time, drives me crazy sometimes, amazes me sometimes, is tempermental, expensive to accessorize, etc. Wait a minute, that sounds kind of like my...

Cherry is my favorite local wood and your idea above is my favorite finish for cherry, but it doesn't even take a few weeks for it to darken up, I sun tanned some last summer and it looked great even...
