Thanks for the replies... I'll stick with the cedar.

I have a customer who wants a wooden sign on the cheap. As an alternative to cedar, will pressure treated pine work?

Made eight of these at 20 bucks each. This was my first try at filling v-carvings with Crian adhesive. Had a problem with pinholes and had to apply adhesive twice. Found that spreading the...

Thanks Jim... good advice

The company sent me samples of what they need. Just a simple 8" X 2 1/4" Corian nameplate with rounded edges and V-carved text filled with white Corian adhesive. They are mounted with a strip of...

I drove up to my Corian distributor to pick up a couple sheets of Gacier White and, for the heck of it, left my business card at the reception desk. I didn't even make it back home when the company...

Thanks guys... I'll give the "case" method a try first then go to a finer blade if needed.

Thanks all for the replies. These molds will be for commercial use so I guess the CNC positive to Silicon negative is the way to go. Any thoughts on what material to use for the positive? My first...

I've been asked by a candy maker to create forms for custom chocolates. I did some reading online and it looks like the preferred method is to carve a positive on the CNC, then pour food grade...

The chuck on my drill press is falls off... usually at the wrong time. Is there a cure other than epoxying it in?

I just drilled 400 holes using a #47 drill and a split bushing adapter with no problems; BUT listening to Gerry's advice I left the room during the drilling operation.

You can buy split adapter bushings for a 1/2" collet from:

They have adapters for just about any drill size including lettered and numbered bits. They...

Dan,
