Thanks Michael - for all of your help!

Hi Michael,
I went back and unzipped the file several times using a couple different extractors and those files seem to be missing.

I just purchased this to make for my granddaughter- very cool project! She will love it. But, I can't find the CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator, InkScape or EPS files to modify the crayon wrapper. All...

I see now that is exactly my problem. The shims are a wonderful fix- thank you!

I'm having a problem with my UCB. I get noticeable snipe occurring about 2-1/4" from either end of the board (if there is a carved region in that area). It looks exactly like snipe from a planer. ...

I don't have the knowledge to forge blades. I have used the "stock removal" method where the blade is ground from knife steel available here: http://www.admiralsteel.com/products/blades.html. ...

Hello Capt. Bruce,
Ha! Small world is right. That must have been exciting to find the missing piece in the set! I look at his website from time to time and drool on my keyboard over the dirks he...

Thanks Capt Bruce for posting more pictures. A Black Watch dirk that was at Waterloo. OMG! (as the kids say nowadays!) Just incredible- and what an interesting way to carve the handle so that it...

Steve- great job on figuring that out! Wow! I played around a little with the double extrude (horiz/vet) but all I got was a mess. I'm still picking my jaw off the floor after seeing your Dirk #8!...

Hello Capt Bruce,
Nice to meet another Scottish Dirk enthusiast.
Wow! Your dirks are great. They would make a Highland Chief envious! Fantastic work- and I know- they are a major undertaking. You...

Thanks James- I haven't tried that. I do have STL importer.

I am trying to replicate a style of dagger handle common with Scottish Dirks using the 3D tools in Designer. The top rounded part was easy enough but the lower portion of the handle has 2 different...

Here is a likeness of a 58 Chevy hood ornament I made using the new Vector Drawing and Pattern Modeling suites. I found a photo on the internet and imported into the Image Tracer, then used the...

Joe-
have you tried editing your photo to reduce the deep section in the upper corner? After looking at your MPC again I noticed it looks like the photo has a really dark corner. I think the...

I have 4 of these Tuff Boxes carved- but not painted. I'm waiting for the 1/4 inch domed buttons to arrived. Thanks Michael T for the tip on buying these maple buttons at www.craftparts.com. (see...

Joe,
Sorry to hear about that youngster passing from cancer. Terrible. Give my sympathies to the little guy's parents and family.

As to your 1/2 inch lithopane- you have to carve too deep and...

WOW! The July POM looks great! Fantastic work Micheal! I love the mechanical look to this POM and the great Industria Synchroon from March. People are floored by the look of these finished...

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I have a few more details on how I finished the clock and got the "old machine" look. It does take a while to get it right.
1. It should look worn and well...

The Industria Synchroon is a fun project. Here is a couple pics of my rendition. I went for the old machinery look and made it look dirty and rusty and banged up. I made hex nuts on my Carvewright...

Ok- everybody line up and slap me in the forehead...
then give me the dums%*! of the year award. My problem was not anything to do with the new 1.162- here is where it gets a little embarrassing......

Thanks LG- the Drill setting does work for me the way you described it. So I guess that was never a problem. The problem my computer/machine still has is the inability to adjust a pattern's height,...

I am running Win XP (up-to-date) and I installed Designer 1.162 over 1.153 without removing 1.153. Had problems (described below) so I removed 1.162 and reinstalled it. Still bad so I removed 1.162...
