    Default From wall plaque to coasters

    I was asked to create some coasters from the wall plaque for a family friend.
    she wanted 6 sets and they came out well.
    I drop some of the regions, reedited the text and drop down to fit in a 4" sq.

    Yes, the holder work fine, I had ordered one on line, but the slots were cut all the way across and it came
    with a bad warp in the wood, so decided to try my own version. the coaster material is 1/4" and the slot is 5/16"
    this gives a little slant for the coaster to fit, edge gives the base good support and I can make 6 at a time.
    the depth is 3/16"

    The material (not Corian ) came from over seas. I found them on Craig's list under Corian whole sheets for sale.
    It was used for bathroom walls in commercial buildings. I took a chance and it worked out. But I am running out,
    I have been looking for a 1/4" material to replace it.
    If anybody knows of any other material that might work, drop me a line or Pm.

    might sound dumb but you used the cw to carve on the coasters?

    yes, they do very well on the CW, I have done hundreds over the years, custom, initial , company logos.
    after you set up your blank for one style, you just change for each different type, 60 deg "V" bit, in a mater minutes.
