It's been a year and a half since I posted or carved. My machine has been in storage in my garage all this time due to me having to travel because of my job. Last night I pulled it out and put it in...

Bought mine Jan/Feb and have 250+ hours on it. It's in storage right now cause of my new job, but when I'm done I'm gonna break it back out alongside the new one I'm going to get.

If you ask your significant other to use 3 and One oil as cologne/perfume

If someone says "get the mop" and you grab a sanding tool

If your favorite jeans have more stain on them than your last...

I originally posted this in another thread, but I reckon it belongs here too.


YOU MIGHT BE A CARVAHOLIC

If you like sawdust instead of pepper on your scrambled eggs

If you have a truck...

That would be fine with me. I put it up there in the hopes that someone would get a kick out of it.

Hey all, I recently prepped my machine for storage. I removed the top cover and both sides to give it a thorough cleaning and WOW!!!! I thought my machine was semi clean to begin with. BOY WAS I...

Twas the night before leaving
and all through the shop
not a tool was in motion
not even a mop

The Carvewright was cleaned
of wood chips and dust
metal sufaces lubed
to prevent pesky rust

Hey Kendall,
I appreciate the offer, thats mighty nice of ya! Ha ha. I'll still be able to participate in the forum, just can't take my machine with me.

Carl,
Thanks for the tip, I'd love to do that, but we just don't have the room for it inside.

Hey all,
I'm getting ready to store my machine for a long period of time. Going to be gone away for a job and need to put it up so the wife can have the garage back again. Any tips on things to do...

That is absolutely Gorgeous!!! What type of wood are you going to use?

Buying a new machine with the warranty will actually save you more in the long run (most times) than buying a used one without. For instance, you get/find a used machine for $1,200.00 (just a rough...

That critter looked like something out of the Transformers movie. And the way it carved into foam was amazing! Kind of like a "dremel running amok".
Brady

You are a true artist! Extremely fine work.

Ray,
You really don't want to use moly "grease" on your flex shaft. I got a can of liquid wrench chain lube "with moly" at an O'Reillys autoparts store. It's a liquid spray that has moly in it. I...

Can you post your mpc? That would help to try and determine the problem. On the first two it kinda looks like some of my first carves where I didn't have the extra 3 1/2 inches on each end so they...

If you like sawdust instead of pepper on your scrambled eggs

If you have a truck that doesn't run, and three machines that do

If your air compressor hasn't aired up a tire in 5 years

Andrea,
Those are absolutely wonderful! I can see many uses for your patterns. Thank you so much for sharing.

Rocky,
Attached is a pdf detailing the use of the bit adjustment tool to help you get your adapters set right. Page 39 of the Carvewright manual covers how to change out the adapters. It does call...

I would recommend giving the LHR tech support folks a call about the bit not touching the rail. They are way smart when it comes to figuring out things like that. And yes, this machine is precise...

You can also set the virtual board dimensions to the exact size of the actual board, just make sure that when you put your pattern on it, you have 3 1/2 inches on either side(minimum) of your...

When you are doing a two sided carve, it always carves the back side first. So if it had completed that part, open your pattern and remove anything you have on the back side, save and reload it...

Thank you for making it and thank you for sharing it.
Brady

Will these fit the bill?
Brady

Andes,
Is this kind of what you were going for? I increased the board size, added a rectangle with the router bit as the cutpath then use the cutout tool.
