Bob,
The PTN file is exactly as it came out of the Carvewright after the scan. I am attaching one that I lowered though I thought that was the point of a ptn file that you could edit it?

As...

So I can just plug this into the carvewright and tell it to start carving from this MPC file without any other issues or considerations?

Here's the ptn file, I'm not to sure about copywright...

I carved this dragon for the front of a remote control holder I am making for my nightstand, with dremil type tools. I scanned it into the carvewright machine and made this MPC file. I have never...

I'd like to think so. I am an ASE certified Master Collision Rep/Refinish Tech. I try to do the best I can on everything I do, though hobby work or work for oneself doesn't have the limitation of...

Thanks Pam, yes it's for myself. I figured with the time I will have in this (with the addition of the two lower door carvings estimated) I will have around 260 hours in this so with the materials...

I didn't want to use a bunch of Carvewrights bandwidth thanking everyone indivdually.

Thanks for all the kind words, nice to hear after spending so much time on this.

Thanks Eva. Here is a pic of most of the tools I used on this carving.

Thanks Bob. I have 3 B&D variable speed RTX's, a couple wizards, several electric and air ¼" grinding tools, a couple 4" grinders and a turbo carver. I really only use the turbo carver on the...

Thanks Joe. I do autobody work and painting. Not to much call for custom paint work where I'm at ( small town) anymore. Mostly just repair deer hit damage these days, though once in a while I get...

This carving for this nightstand top took me around 120 hours to carve using dremil type tools. I would have liked to have been able to scan it in with the carvewright machine however it is to deep...

I built and carved this drawer front (see picture) I can't seem to add it to my library, I get an SQL error. So I am just uploading a crop of the scan because the system won't let me upload a PTN...

Okay I dropped my fonts in XP back to 96dpi and your site looks fine. I'm going to get a headache reading my screen with it this way so I will download your file and change my font setting back.
...

I do have my font size set at 120% other wise I can't see my text with my default screen resolution at 1280 x 1024 on a 15" LCD monitor.

I just built/got this new computer going in the last week...

Thought I'd download your tutorial, however having a bit of trouble reading your site, see screen capture. Do I have some settings wrong somewhere? I don't get this on any other sites.

Thanks...

For a while now I have been having some trouble with the scanning probe. Sometimes it doesn't recognise that it's in and after getting going it will stop and say "please check probe".

I think I...

This is a scan of a box lid the original dimensions were 5.76" x 8.51" x .507"

So was I the only one to buy a scanning probe, or are others just not posting their scans?

Thanks ~Mike

Being a body guy, I see lots of people use WD and other oils for door latches on vehicles. This is bad as it draws and holds dirt. I use Heavy Duty spray silicone on them and it doesn't attract or...

This is a scan of a hand mirror I made a while back. The band around the back was actually walnut, the mirror body was oak, and the rose was bloodwood. I'm not sure how to carve the other side with...

John, I think there would be several problems with using a flatbed scanner for these, the biggest obsticle is that the wood is curly maple so I don't think the reflection would be even.

The...

Thanks Bill, I appreciate the kind words.

~Mike

For these carvings I did a trace of some pictures I was sent in an email, I assume they were paintings from somewhere on the internet so I would guess there could be some issue with copyrights. I...

I'm waiting for the CarveWright to finish a scan so I decided to try something. I had a carved square applique, I scanned it in greyscale on my flatbed scanner, did a smooth and soften in my...

Just a name but once I save the settings in Xara I can use any font or name that looks good. Then I just import it, save it to the favorites, right click it and export as a ptn file.

I have an old program Xara 3D 4.0 I've been messing with it a little to see if it would render anything useable for the CarveWright. I think it works pretty well for flat black & white solids. ...

Thanks Jon,
That's pretty much why I bought the machine. I like the look of my carvings but they take a lot of time, stress on the eyes and hands. I thought if I could use the machine to do the...
