    My experience has been mainly with the scroll saw.
    I have some project design experience. I use desktop publishing software to do most of my designs so the transition to the Carvewright software was not too much of a stretch.

    It is going to be a slower transition moving from the two dimensions I did scrolling, into the 3D world.
    I was fortunate enough to have a few projects published in Scrollsaw Woodworking and Crafts. That allowed me to buy an Excalibur scroll saw.

    I have been saving for the CarveWright for several years, and something always came up and the money went. But I have it now. I initially thought I wouldn't need a cutting but and I would cut with the scrollsaw, but I now see how much I would benefit from a cutting bit.

    Retirement is just around the corner and I hope to supplement my income with signs, designs, and whatever else I can produce, I know the sky is the limit. I was working on a small book of toy patterns for scrolling and I may convert those to CarveWright. So many more options available now.

    Welcome to the forum Carl. I would suggest getting the cutting bit, however, even though I have several of them I do most of my cutouts on the band saw and/or scroll saw. It is usually faster. There are those times that only the cutting bit will work though. Good luck and we hope to see some of your work.

    Carl,

    Welcome! Looking forward to seeing your work and designs. Along with the 1/8" cutting bit you might also look at the 1/16" cutting bit. It is for 1/4" thin stock.

    I don't know if I am an expert at anything, but I have built a lot of jewelry boxes, blanket chests and about anything else from head boards to tables to saddle stands and dog food stands. I have been woodworking for some 25 years now. I am a disabled Deserts Storm vet (US Army 1st Inf Division), a musician (BA in music from Kansas State University) and I write a lot of Christian music. I know a lot about lumber and sell quite a bit of it locally and online. I have over 100 species of woods available from all over the world. You can take a look at my work at www.kansaswood.com
