I have managed to complete a few things
Greetings all,
I haven’t posted anything for a while so I guess it’s about time. I haven’t been doing a lot carving but have managed to finish a few things. As usual I like making cribbage boards. As you can see in a couple of the photos I’ve begun making them with drawers to hold the pegs. Those little drawers take longer to make than the rest of the board. One thing I’ve been working on for a while is a display case for a collector rifle I own. I carved the back a while ago but other projects keep popping up. I even tried to clean off my work bench. After 3 days I managed to find the top of the bench before something else popped up. I hope to finish the top for the display case by the end of this weekend. In between everything else I’ve managed to get my second machine up and running and install a new RC. The ‘Americana’ and ‘Country Inn’ signs I made for the wings of the VA hospital where I stayed and the nursing plaque I made for one of the nurses. The round cribbage board was a pain. This one carved the scene and then proceeded to drill the holes. Less than half way thru drilling the holes it stalled and gave me an error code. I removed everything from the pattern that had already been carved, marked the center of the carve onto the board, put in the board, jogged to center and restarted the carve. It finished the carve with no problems and only a couple of holes just slightly out of place just above the ‘G’ in GUARD. All in all not to bad but I’m not happy with the eagle.
