Introduce Yourself

Howdy Folks, I'm going to give this another go. My name is Danny Williams, I ordered a new machine yesterday. I previously owned one back in 2006. Didn't have a whole lot of luck with it. I had to return it for a new one and ended up sending that one back too. It looks like they've come a long way so I'm going to be open minded. I really do love the concept. I've been a woodworker all my life. I play around on the lathe a lot making bowls. I know dust is a major factor with these things so I'm not turning it on until I have a full blown collection system in place. Hopefully I can avoid the problems we had last time. Machine should be here Thursday. Can't wait!

Danny,

Yes there is big improvements with the machine since 2006. Make sure you read up on the tips n tricks, view the tutorials and ask as many questions as needed to help you get back into the carving fun.

Thanks Dale - I wasn't sure if I should jump in on someone else's thread with my own questions or not.

Got a used machine last week but been around the forum a few months as a guest, just reading and learning. Signed up as a member today. Looking forward to my new membership. I have learned so much the last few months reading relentlessly on this forum.

Hi David! Welcome to the wonderful world of Carvewright.
I am sure you will enjoy your creations. Keep reading what is going on here at the forum and review all the videos Carvewright has to offer. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Hi Everyone, I am a new Carvewright user and can tell already, this will be one of my obsessions. I have some experience with 3D modeling and some old school CNC programming from my days as a printer (pre-press & platemaking). I am still learning the basics, but will soon experiment with .STL files (basics first). Like many others, I have fought with sizing issues and the common challenges of 2 sided carving. I will post some of my work when I have more privileges in the user forum. I would really like to find a local users group to join and perhaps do some collaborative projects together.

Stay Well,

Sean

Hello Everyone, my name is Jeff Williams. I live in Northeast Oklahoma. I was raised up in the carpentry field of a family run business. I am new to the Carvewright world. Just recently purchased a used machine with 5 hours of total run time on it currently waiting for it to arrive. I look forward to trying this machine out and seeing what type of creations it will make.

Hi Jeff
Welcome to Carvewright and the forum. There is a wealth of information available here on many topics and many experienced users to help you along. I look forward to seeing you carvings. Be sure you have a dust collector and the one from Floyd is exceptional. It JUST SUCKS! http://www.ringneckblues.net/dust-collector-insert/

Hello everyone, I am Harvey living in the state of Wisconsin in the Appleton/Kaukauna area. I turn wrenches to feed myself and a few others. I worked on lift trucks for a while,now I assemble packaging machines to help keep the weight on. I purchased a used machine a little over a year ago. It sat for a few year and suffered from no use abuse. After replacing a few components and adding a few upgrades this pup was back up and carving. Has been working great. Now to start packing pennies away software add ons.

keep hangin around the forum and read manuals.

happy carving
