Thanks for the info, much appreciated. I went back into photoshop and redrew the lines in the trouble areas. Worked like a champ, project is cutting as I type. Thank you.

I have been working with wood for over 40 years (furniture, Toys, etc.) and have decided to move into new type of projects using the CW system. I have gone through a lot of the forum and I must say there is a lot of good information! I have had my unit for about a month now with several projects completed. I found that using the CW over band saw if certainly the way to go. Now I find myself trying to decide among the may suggestions my wife has offered. I initially has a problem with the ends of the boards but build the UCB and that quickly solved that issue.

My name is Bruce. I am new with the Carvewright system. I have used one years ago and wish to start a project that includes Text on Text carving. I really like Mary Amick serve the lord plaque that had first name on top of last name. How does one do that? I have been using this forum for guidance, thanks all.

Bruce,
try starting with a rectangle carve area with a depth of .250 last name depth .250 height 100. First name depth .250 height 250. adjust height of first names if you see any push through of last name. graphic heights should not be set any higher than the first name height. Also add some draft to the lettering.

Hello,

My name is Ron Martinez from California.
I am new to this forum and to the CarveWright system.

I am retired and finding the CW system that has caught my eye. I purchased the CW from Craftman's 7 years ago, thinking I would use it later on. And now is the time.
I did have the CW updated recently and have been learning the system and software. Looking forward many project and fun moving forward.

Hi my name is Ronn, Ive been recently getting into woodworking and saw a deal on craigslist I couldn't pass up.. CW system at 1/3 the retail price. I bought it and brought it home the seller even threw in a probe for me I got 2 install disks as well. I installed the software on my mac and tried registering it, come to find out the machine is still under his name and I cannot register the software. is there a work around for this? The seller was kind enough to let me know if I had any problems with the software I could return the system. Im sure Im the first person to run into this issue. whats the most effective way for me to get my "new to me" CW system / software running. Currently Im only using the DEMO but ive got 29 days left from my 30 total. hoping for some good news thank you
