WigWagWorkshop Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Good Day Crew! Well, since the CNC I want is a little over $4,000, and I won't be able to buy it until early next year I decided to do it the "Old Fashion" way Steps:1) Find Picture2) Use the carbon paper to trace it on the wood3) Secure wood to bench with carpet tape4) Use a variety of bits in the Dremel and the DeWalt DWP611 Router5) Have fun carving The Flexcut Knife and Gloves are for carving stuff in Basswood, like caricatures. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 When I was younger I would print off a picture trace it on to wood then use a scroll saw to cut it out then use a wood burner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What project are you working on with this setup Wigwag?Sent from my SM-N900V using TapatalkI have a few idea rattling around, but first going to practice with lettering and same basic vector graphics. I am most excited about learning carving caricatures out of Basswood. Brandon has been making walking sticks, but he's only been using a wood burner for adding designs, so I am hoping he will start carving some Wood Spirits on his sticks. -Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For scroll sawing, I just print the patterns and attach them to wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 ya pretty much do the same thing but use the wood burner to transfer the image to the wood using a laser printer......as for carving ya I did some cars years ago more like 20 years ago that is and gave them away as gifts wish I took or kept some pics as they were fairly detailed. it all came to an end one night in the emergency room after 14 stitches to my index finger after I slipped on a knot......
