    Default An article on my growth with carving

    I'm proud to be featured in this month's Vectric Aspire newsletter and YES I did not leave Carvewright out of it. Without their awesome machine I would have never started this journey.
    I hope you enjoy reading.

    Very interesting article and gives us more insight into how you turned into the sign maker we have learned to expect beautiful things from. Glad to see your expertise and effort getting recognition. Appreciate all you share, gives me a goal for some of my efforts.
    Thx, Rick H

    Congratulations Tom.
    You are an inspiration. It seems like I am about to write this off as a hobby as I didn't do so well on Christmas sales this year.
    Reading this gives me hope that I can convert my cabinet shop to a cnc shop.
    I know you put lots of time, effort, blood, sweat and tears to get where you are.

    Well Done !!!

    Thank you so much for the kind comments. It all started with the support of the people on this forum when I purchased my first machine. I called Floyd, Terry Thompson, Eddie, Michael and many others for help and guidance to get me going and understand what I was doing.The people of Carvewright were very supportive when I had issues. After creating our users group in Washington several years ago we learned from each other. The rest as they say is history. Thank you everyone, you are a very caring group of people!

    Tom,
    Very well written article. I can relate to listening to the CarveWright, as I too have learned the sounds of the machine and can tell from a distance exactly what the machine is doing based on my design. Beautiful sign work, and very informative article. Thank You!
