@DavidBoston-rx2yi I believe.it was.called hacienda font and I got it from dafont.com..these fonts change all the time though. Check out dafont, they have thousands of options

Thanks!

@limpet9 no, just the extra length with cutting, when I first got this, it was exactly what I need but very shortly after I had a few commissions that needed to be able to do deeper cuts. Still a good machine though, I've not had any issues and it's still going strong

@jenniferleigh-ws5xq firstly, let me say how sorry I am for your loss, as a fellow parent, I grieve with you. After that, thank you for your.kind comment, these are pretty straight forwards to make and as for the design, I simply googled angel wing template, there are hundreds of images online. I found one that I liked and this pattern seems very common, downloaded the image, enlarged amd printed it and traced it straight onto the wood. Ideally you want a image that is of a relatively high quality to be able to enlarge and with a detail level that your happy to work with. Also, I would perhaps practice on a few pieces of scrap first before trying on anything special. Besides that, be patient and it will come out great. If.you have any more questions, don't hesitate to get in touch

@JohnathonWhittaker Well thank u kind sir. I went and rounded me up a template and I'm transferring my image as we speak on some scrap pieces to try first. So odd. When I started transferring something told me to check for a reply. And I am so glad I did. I have been steady repeating to myself to just have patience. This is going to be a very cool healing experience for me. Thank u again for your wisdom. May God Bless you and your family.. 🕊💞🕊

😂 true! Always best I think when learning a new tool to leave it unplugged until your ready. I'd rather be suprised by it not turning on rather than it come on accidentally 👍

@@ceciliabrooks201 thank you very much!

thank you! :)

The 1/8th shank router bits are great, sharp, durable and very cheap. They are great for detail work and for carving curves which can be quite tricky with larger router bits. Like with all.new equipment though, there is a learning curve. With heavier router bits, it's quite easy to force them through the wood, with the smaller bits, you need to let the bit do thr cutting or it will snap. They don't fly off anywhere, just drop down so are safe. Hope that answers your question

@@JohnathonWhittaker that is great thank you

@chucksimpson5160 hi there and thanks for the complement. Trays like this are relatively straightforward and easy to do if you have the right tools. If I was doing it all with hand tools barring sanding, probably eight hours. Using a router or angle grinder, maybe two hours? Add in a day for the finish to dry. But I could potentially do 4 or more in a day and same amount of time for drying. Hope that answers your question

❤ thank you

@DavidBoston-rx2yi just regular paper with a lazer jet printer, very simple.way ti transfer complex images to wood, fast

@Dmitriy-SDI fruit timber is also my favorite and it definitely can crack! I found a few ways to reduce this, first I seal both ends of the log and let it season for at least two years. When I start to carve either cherry or apple timber, I either put it in a plastic bag when I'm not carving it or spray a cheap varnish on it to reduce the moisture loss which causes cracking. Unfortunately, this doesn't work 100% of the time but it does help alot. My least.favorite is oak, that keeps cracking and twisting for around 100 years in a unsealed form

@@JohnathonWhittaker ooh, yes - oak is the worst about it definitely, I have already had problems with the plates I thought were finished and ready O_o

@@Dmitriy-SDI thank you

@user-jr7rx9fg6c hard wood definitely gives a different look, it does raise costs considerably though so its good to know your client base. Working on pine though is a great way to practice techniques and styles. Give it a try and I hope your succesful with it. If you look at my Instagram, you will see a whole lot.more examples

@user-jr7rx9fg6c I cover both sides with the pva, and leave the edge exposed so the water goes from outside the wood, rather than inside. It's slower, but the wood.survives better

@@JohnathonWhittaker thank you!

@user-jr7rx9fg6c thank you, I use a two part super glue, it's a cyanoacrylate glue with an accelerator. You add the glue, spray on the accelerator and it hardens instantly. Also sandable after. Not.sure where your.located, will add a local link so you can see the product. Also if you look at some of my other videos, I talk about it more woodworksupply.co.uk/products/copy-of-starbond-ca-glue-black-medium-ke-150-2oz-56-7g

@@Dmitriy-SDI thank you

Thank you

😂 still got a few years left i think😁

@@JohnathonWhittaker oops. Sorry! Must have clicked on the wrong name! I should stop drinking before I post! Buzz

@@BuzzRetirementGarage 😂 alls good

Hi there, yes I can take a look at it and do a modernized version. you on apple or microsoft?

@@JohnathonWhittaker MS Win10. Thank you!

@JoeMasepoes thank you, this was a very satisfying project

Thank you

Thank you

😂 it was the same for me so I took it all apart rather than do the leg exercises 😁

Really glad I could share this for you. My best advice would be to just go for it, have a rough idea of what you want in your mind and be happy for the piece to evolve while your working on it! Happy carving

Thank you, the final finish was 5 coats of a satin polyurethane varnish, sanded between coats and polished at the end

I use a product called cellulose thinners which is also acetone based. Bit more industrial than regular acetone although that still works well. Glad you found the video useful and thanks for the lovely comment

More to come! Cheers Rick

It's at the start , it's the art piece in the centre

I'd actually not meant it public yet😅. My bad

Its a great tool, highly recommend

thank you and i really like to add this effect onto plaques. really makes them just a little different. go for it and keep the cuts small. I cut off more than one letter practicing this technique :)

Glad it was helpful!, I've had some great use out of this saw and it's still going strong years later

Thank you

After I've fim8shed carving out the design, I always give a finish of some kind. Could be a spray on varnish, oil or even resin. Helps protect the wood and highlights the natural wood characteristics

This Is more for people who want a more hands on experience and potentially can't afford an expensive cnc set up. I find this method to be very versatile, doesn't take up much room and can achieve much better results than alot of the lower cost cncs. As for printing, that's just easier for me to layout and design something immediately for clients, there are quite a few people who do the text free hand with excellent results. Different ways for different people. I often just use a mallet and gouges, also gives me the result I want although I still print it🙂

I buy the router bits from amazon. They are 3.175 mm v groove bits that fit into a 6.35 mm router. I will try and send you a link

The second link is the collet adapter for the 1/4 inch to 1/8th inch bits

I am using the smaller 1/8th shank router bits. I started with a 10 degree v-groove to define the letters and image. I cleaned out all the waste material with a 1.5mm spiral bit so it was all nice and clean. Thwse bits are easy to find on amazon and are really inexpensive.

Thank you❤️

Thank you very much Patrick!

Still using them, cleaning them out is massively important, I am not a believer in using flame to get rid of clogging, I feel that would either immediately or eventually compromise the metal. I just use a wire brush, sometimes soak them in either diesel or cellulose thinners and they are practically brand new. The only thing that inhabe replaced is therenisna small rubber washer between the head and the spindle that eventually goes but they cost next to nothing and very easily replaceable

Thank you so much for the update. Much appreciated!@@JohnathonWhittaker

anytime bud, I am not supported by any of these companies, just share the ones i like personally@@TruFrag
