Re: Graduation Gift acrylic sign
I have some 9 x 12 pieces I purchased from estreet plastics. I was having some serious issues with one side not scratching. When I used my digital calipers on the acrylic my sheet varied by .017 from side to side. I have another 4 sheets this size. Three of them have significant variances from side ...

Re: First Acrylic Carve
I am still new to acrylic, but my 3d images are also reversed and carved on the back. Is there an advantage to carving 3d images on the front?

Very nice. Good job. I really like your bases. Can you provide more information and pictures on how you are making the bases?

Re: First Text on Text
Nice job. Getting the first one done, on anything new, is always the hardest.
I will admit, I now put everything in Word first and then copy it into VCarve.

Re: Finally doing acrylic
I got the crucifix from Vector Art 3d. www.vectorart3d.com.
I used 1/2" acrylic and the crucifix cut to a depth of 0.4". I used a 1/8" end mill to rough and a 1/16" ball nose to finish. I was not sure if that was the right way to do it, but it came out nice.

Finally doing acrylic
St. Augustine acrylic.jpg acrylic crucifix.jpg I have finally started doing acrylic. I have no idea why I waited so long. The St. Augustine was done using quick engrave and a diamond drag bit. The crucifix is a 3d file. Both are 9” x 12”. These are the first two that I have done. Please let me know...

Re: Cheap, Quick Gifts
Like everything else, it took me a few tries to get a technique down that worked for me. I put contact paper on the pre-painted mdf. Cut it and then spray paint it. I let the spray paint dry for just a few minutes then pull off the contact paper. Put some mineral spirits on a rag and wrap it around ...

Cheap, Quick Gifts
I am not sure about the rest of you, but it seems everyone now expects me to make them gifts. I tend to forget birthdays and other events until the last moment. Now I keep a supple of painted mdf plaques in the shop. When I need a quick gift I just carve something on it and paint it. These are some ...

Re: birthday present
Wow, I am getting a headache trying to figure out all the the details it took to make this board. That is really nice. If this was not a work of love, I don't know what is.
