Sorry about that Henry, I'm down in southeast Iowa known as the Pen City.
Good morning all. I am Rick Roy from Greenfield Massachusetts ... originally from Visalia California. I just bought a used CarveWright (Craftsman name on the top of it though) and I am setting up a wood shop in my cellar. My original goal was to carve and drill custom cribbage boards. However, my horizons are expanding everytime I read a "Tips and Tricks" There is so much that can be done! I am amazed by some of the work being dome. Beautiful, just beautiful! I have a background in photography, PhotoShop and website building. My goal is to put photos of pets, children, families, etc on c ribbage boards (or without the cribbage element. I won't start carving until the wood shop is ready, about Jan 15, 2012. I need some bits! The previous owner has them "somewhere." So I have a machine with no bits. I am thinking of upgrading to the "C" version so it doesn't make since to purchase new bits for the old chuck does it? Anyone want to rid themselves of a couple of the older style bits?
Hi all - received my first CarveWright machine about a week and a half ago. Finally got the shop cleared up enough yesterday to set it up and give it a whirl on a simple design I did earlier in the week. Wasn't too bad a for first effort.

Welcome, I like your name! Can we expect to see some equations? One of the reasons I bought the Carvewright was because I could carve mathematical surfaces.
My name is Maria. Just moved to Arizona. Haven't touched my CW in years and need technical help with patterns.
Thanx!
Hi All,
Bought my CW about 6 months ago and am having a great time with it. I have been using the forum a lot and appreciate all the great advice I have seen here. I have been building furniture and accessories for over 25 years and this is my first foray into the CNC world...I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks :0)

Hi,
I have had my CW for about 6 months now and have been using the forum to learn a lot. Thank you to everyone who posts as it is very helpful and I have picked up some great stuff. I have been building furniture and accessories for over 25 years, but this is my first foray into CNC and so far, I am really enjoying it. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks :0). I hope to be able to add to the forum over time instead of always taking away. I am really enjoying my CW and it is a great additon to my wood shop.....
