Thanks Ron! Figured I do something a bit funny for Halloween.

Hahah I should use one.

Thank you so much!

Thank you! I will have to get back with you on the font.

Thanks for your concern. Recreating is fine just as long as I do not sell or redistribute.

Thank you Ron! I appreciate the support from you!

I’ll have to find out when I get home Joe. I’ve been looking up the brand I bought from hobby lobby but it doesn’t specify.

@encarwoodworking Ok, cool. Whenever you find the info, please let me know. I appreciate it. 👍👍

The packaging says, “xylene-free/low odor, alcohol based pigmented ink.” Hope that helps.

@encarwoodworking Cool. What brand is it tho?

No brand name. Packaging says, “paint markers” which was bought at hobby lobby.

Thank you! I appreciate you watching!

Thank you Ron!

Thanks as always Ron!

I appreciate you for watching and the kind words!

I got a soft spot for my Army brothers! My pops and best buds served in our beloved US Army!

@@encarwoodworking I just retired after 20 years last year. Now I just make stuff with my Shapeoko's and lasers. Fun times.

@myk3l9675 congratulations on the retirement! I can’t wait until everyday becomes a Saturday!

Thank you so much!!😊

Ooorah! Thank you!

Thanks as always Joe!

So for this piece I did not do a rough pass. I used a 60 degree vbit for the entire piece then a 1/4 downcut end mill for the profile pass. Welcome to the world of CNC and the rabbit hole!

@@encarwoodworking pretty simple. I always like to ask to keep a mental note.

So mine machine is the Onefinity and the model is journeyman pro. I believe it cuts approx 6 inches in depth. Hope that helps!

I tend to a profile pass first because, for me, if the piece is going to fail it will usually be when I do profile cut. So I’d rather fail the first 10 mins in than cut the entire 3d relief pass, which could be 1 hour + then fail during the profile pass. Hope I explained it well enough. I received that question a few times so I’m getting the feeling I’m doing it ass backwards lol. Thanks for watching!

@encarwoodworking the problem with doing it first you just eliminated a lot of your work holding even with the tape (which I am not a fan of at all). So now all that lateral first exerted while doing the other operations is more likely to make your work move or break completely off.

In this case you are absolutely right. Usually I use clamps and tabs. And the tabs are pretty thick. So on this piece I resorted in doing the same process but not using tabs, which definitely an oversight

Thank you for watching and the kind words!

It helps the oramask to stay in place when I begin carving. Thanks for watching!

What does the oramask do? Could you sand the top instead?

So I do a depth of cut .07 and 320 grit sand paper. I don’t sand too aggressively, especially over the dark areas. Thanks for watching

Thank you for watching! I appreciate you!

Thanks again Ron! I always appreciate your kind words!

Thank you! Cheers!

The wood used was mahogany and white oak. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the kind words and for watching!

I run vectric vcarve pro.

@@encarwoodworking what made you choose that program over the other ones out there out of curiosity

@CrowWood.MetalWorks I believe it was based on reviews. Initially when I was shopping around all the programs were Greek to me, since I was a noobie. So I went with what many others have suggested. But based on my usage now, I recommend vectric software to others. I really like that there are numerous how-to vids for the vectric software. Hope this helped just little.

@@encarwoodworking it did thanks.

If I remember correctly it was either in the file section of a FB group or Etsy. Thanks for your kind words and for watching!

Appreciate you watching still!

I bought this file on Etsy but im sure this can be found on numerous FB groups as well. But the ones I found on FB tends cleaning up in node editing.

I’m not sure if you mean the svg file. But I believe I got this file off a FB group I frequent. Unfortunately I frequent numerous groups so I could tell you which one. I will try to find out though.

Thanks for watching anyways!

So I basically try to find a basic black and white photo then do bitmap tracing in inkscape. The vectric software has bitmap tracing but doesn’t trace as well. Thanks for the watching and the kind words! I really appreciate it!

Thanks as always Ron!

Thanks for the kind words!

Thank you very much!

Thank you so much 😀

I used mineral oil for the finish. Thanks for the kind words!

I did not make this file. I was able to get it off one of the many FB groups I follow. Unfortunately I can’t remember which.

I like MDF a lot since it is inexpensive, but it is hard on the bits. I appreciate you watching and the kind words!

I got of off Etsy.

Funny you say that. I’ve been thinking the same thing for these ashtrays so the graphic can still been seen. Thanks for the confirmation!

@@encarwoodworking just have to grind the edges a little. Should make them for cigars, just a wider groove.

@Mr.Peabody961 I can’t agree more, especially since I’m a cigar guy. But I purchased this file on Etsy and left it as is.

Yea it can be difficult. I also get bleeding even after using shellac or lacquer. I really can’t say for sure but I do sometimes do a deeper depth of cut so it allows me to sand more material, which allows me to get most of the bleeding

@@encarwoodworking what tooling and setup did you use for the words? 60 degree? .1 depth?

@Mr.Peabody961 I’ll check when I get home but it was definitely 60 degree vbit.

@@encarwoodworking thanks, appreciate it. Btw what fonts work for you I’m still struggling with finding ones that consistently look good.

@Mr.Peabody961 it’s tough to say. If I’m carving a file I bought from Etsy or got from FB I pretty much leave it alone. But if I’m making something from scratch I always go through the list to see what works. I also browse dafont.com and see what looks cool.

Merci ! Vous êtes trop gentil!
