How To Do Stacked Text / Text On Text [The Easy Way] Vectric Vcarve & Aspire - Garrett Fromme
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 เม.ย. 2021
- This video shows you how to do text on text, or stacked text, with Vectric Aspire and Vcarve (Pro and Desktop). Another term is text over text.
Text on text is not as difficult as most make it out to be. Staking the text requires a little thought up front and realizing it is a simple use of using layers and the weld function.
The Vcarve versions of vectric are a little limited in doing more advanced designing with stacking text but using this text stacking method is the easiest and fastest.

I know this is an old video, but I have watched several times to learn this technique. Thanks for for all you do !
allenhuckabee3764, You're welcome! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Keep practicing and refining your technique!
Patrick , you and your family are in our prayers ! GOD BLESS YOU !
Patrick...read this comment!
BTW man you are an absolute animal! i do not know how the hell you remember all this..im thoroughly impressed..much thanks ffor the time you have taken to do these videos! ive spent hours watching vectric tutorials with the bs robot voice..kill me...
watching your vids is sooo easy and ... i cant thank you enough for the help!! seriously!
You had me rolling on the floor with that last sentence! Thank you for your share on that, and for the compliments.
I haven't finished watching yet, but I will most certainly pray for Patrick and his wife for increased good health. Love your channel and your energy. Thanks. Andrew
Thank you ANdrew. And I'm know Patrick appreciates it!
My thoughts and prayers are with you Patrick and your family. Garrett once again thank you for what you do in the CNC world...Love it all...Keep it up.
Hey Dwayne. I'll make sure Patrick gets this comment! Thank you.
This has to be the most on-point and easiest explanation of text on text on TH-cam. Bravo! Thank You, Garrett!
Brian, wow, thanks! I'm glad it was helpful!
just made my sign looks great thank had to watch your video three times cause of kids thanks
Ranger2056, that is awesome! Good work my friend!
Garrett you are a great teacher! you are explicit in your methodology and it's very easy to understand what you are delivering.
keep up the great work !
Hi Robert. Thank you. What kind of projects are you working on?
Your explanation makes perfect sense! The “light” came on when you welded the two lines of text together for the second level. Wow, makes perfect sense! I’m quite new to Vcarve Pro and learning faster than I can test out stuff on the CNC. Great info! I’m a sold new subscriber!
Hi Michael. Welcome to the community! Learning faster than you can make is a good problem to have.
Garrett love you style of teaching and appreciate the time you take to throw in all the little tip, tricks and explanations. Like how you ran with the little “ mistake” so we could see it then show/ explained how to correct it. JUST PLAN AWESOME thanks
Thank you ONE. I think showing mistakes are as important as the other stuff. Helps people know what they did wrong. None of us are perfect.
My thoughts and prayers for you Patrick and your family, I personally hope recovery comes a lot sooner than later. 🙏🙏
And yes Garrett you are one the best with your explanations and visual learning of Vectric Vcarve that I can find, also you are about the only one who actually replies to questions asked, either on here or by email as you have done so with me many times already. You inspire so many to give it a go, I have learned so much from you already in the last 2 months, and without these videos, would be nearly impossible to figure it all out so keep up the fantastic work you do. 👍👍
Many Thanks, Warren from Australia, Cheers mate 😁😁
oh, and here is your Beer 🍺🍺 don't do coffee 😎
Warren...I promise, I will do a beer on you!!! Thank you for the compliments.
Patrick, my thoughts are with you mate, stay strong. Garret you have done it again, my ah moment was with the layers and understanding the toolpaths. keep up the fantastic work, you are doing something right as I normally zone out after 10 minutes on other videos, but I still stay focused until the end with yours.
Hey Truck. Quite a compliment on my videos. thank you!
After much struggling with other videos from other folks I'm glad I found your channel. Walked me right through it! You are the best instructor I've found. Thanks!
I am really glad to hear that My videos are helping you better than others! I do try to make all my videos like this. Maybe you can recommend my channel to others when you see they get stumped on various things. Keep on creating!
Absolutely outstanding Garrett! Love your video and really appreciate your teaching style. Thank you!
Robert, you are so welcome my friend.
Love all of you're videos Garrett, Got into CNC about a year ago and I swear you always seem to cover all bases when in beginner mode as myself. Always keeps me motivated especially when disaster strike called the "Learning Curve". KEEP ON CARVING 😎😎😎😎😎
Cjtoledor, glad you enjoyed this one brother! Keep working hard and climbing up that learning curve my friend.
Thanks again Garrett! Finally saw how to do several (many) things today from you! Love your videos! They help immensely! Can't say enough how your teaching helps!
Dwight, you are so very welcome my friend.
Excellent tuition. Much, much love and light to Patrick and his wife.
Hello Emily with an accent. Thank you. And Patrick needs continued blessings as his health challenges are continuing.
@@IDCWoodcraft I'm so sorry to hear that. Many blessings being sent and - yep, I know I'm a stranger across the pond - but if I can help him in my capacity as a therapist, if only with a listening ear, or with some stress reduction techniques, I'm here. I've lived on past a couple of the scariest diagnoses so I relate on a personal as well as professional level. Meantime, BIG LOVE heading their way. All the best to you Garrett, the one who really has the accent :D with great, rich voice! Great job you do!
Garrett, you are the best instructor for better understanding of the vectric cnc software. I get more useful tips and knowledge each tutorial. Your one on one sessions are worth every penny and helped me create my first real sign for our driveway. I recommend to viewers who are stuck on a feature to schedule a zoom session with you asap!
Hi Scott. Thank you for the endorsement. Yes, I wish I could get everyone into one on one sessions. It'll save them so much time and effort. At least we are trying, aren't we?
I love this video and all of your videos. I started working with VETRIC and CNC machine about a year ago and I have learned so much from you. I appreciate al that you do for us that are new to the CNC world. I am looking forward to watching much more of your videos.
Burnitstudio, I am happy to hear that videos like this are helping you. CNC is tough enough as it is, hopefully you can pick up some tips and tricks along the way to make you a better woodworker.
Garrett once again thank you for what you do in the CNC world...Love it all...Keep it up.
mirceapurcar6045, you are so welcome brother! Keep up the hard work yourself!
Great teacher!! I have Aspire and your videos are helping tremendously. I hope one day I can help someone.
garciarosa100, im so happy to hear these videos have been helping you brother! Happy CNCing.
Garrett the sense you make is awesome over here in the UK, first clear teaching of vectric software I have seen and better than Vectrics own site. Keep up the brilliant work.
Markr, wow thank you! Sorry for the delayed response, I've been busy playing catch up on emails! I'm so glad I could help add some clarity to vectrics for you!
YOU ARE AN AMAZING INSTRUCTOR , I CAN ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND IT ! THANK YOU !!!
Hey Sandra. Thank you. That is my aim!
Your videos are a resource that is a life saver. You explain so much, keep it simple and easy to follow. You have a follower/subscriber, future customer for bits and more. Keep up the wonderful work.
Hi Michael. Welcome to the channel and the community! Thank you for the compliments. I've got more for you coming!
Thanks for all your videos! I bought the 30x30 longmill yesterday (using your link) and it's due in tomorrow. I've already started making signs in vcarve playing around watching your videos
Pat, that's awesome brother! I'm excited for you to get your longmill in hand and get to creating!
Awesome video! I tried to do this once before from another video and found not. You explained it in detail and I was able to do it. Thank you
Hey Thomas. I'm really glad to hear that. Good to know I explained it so it could be done.
I am really glad that I found your channel. I've already learned a lot and you are a good teacher. Thanks for the video. Greetings from Germany stay healthy
Hi Fehm. I am glad you are here. Especialy from Germany...I'm thinking of viditing again.
Prayers and best wishes goes out to Patrick, his wife and their entire family. Wishing and praying that you overcome the medical issues you guys are currently dealing with. To Garrett, as always, thank you for the knowledge you always share. You are an encyclopedia of help kind sir. Wishing you the best.
Roy, thank you for the kind words and well wishes! I'm always happy to help and best wishes to you too my friend!
Best wishes to Pat and family.
I love the instructions really showing step-by-step. Cant wait to see more, as I am completely new to cnc.
B.r. from Slovenia
Hi ales. I'll be sure Patrick gets the message. I've got a lot more stuff on this channel for you. Keep watching!
I welcome you . I'm from Poland . very nice movies. it is an adventure for me. I'm learning Vertic Aspire from you. Thank you .
Tomasz, glad you liked this one brother! Happy to hear these videos are helping you learn CNC!
Thanks for all of the instruction. After watching this once, I was able to make a stacked text sign for myself. You’ve made it very easy.
JR, you are so welcome. Happy to hear it worked out for you.
This was very helpful. I like that you left in the few times you had to correct errors. Those help too.
Hey John. Thank you for saying that. If we don;t show how to compensate for errors, then others will wonder what to do when they have the same issue. That's why I eave them in the vodeos.
Your the man!! very intelligent, i learned a lot no just layering but overall creativity. i'm very new to cnc. Love what you do.
Hi Renato. Thank you. I've got a lot of videos out there for you so keep on watching my friend. You'll become a great CNC'er in no time!
Praying for Patrick and his wife. I watched your video and it was great! I have done stacked text before and I had to clip and so on, but you showed me the easy way. I now have a quick way to stack text , thank you!
you are welcome Norman!. Send me pictures of your stuff. I'd like to see
Watching this again 4-5 months down my CNC journey... I think I first watched before even assembling my Longmill. I haven't tried this technique yet but will some time this month as I have lots of time off from work which means more time in the shop! Will send a photo as asked!!!
Michael, I'm excited for you to give it a shot for yourself! Let me know how it turns out and definitely send over a picture or two!
My opinion you are the best instructor. You cover a lot of detail in such a way a simple mind can understand. Also love the little extras you put in the packages. Love the drill bit pen!! Thanks for all you do brother
Hi Ronnie. thank you! Yeah, that drill bit pen was one I couldn't pass up getting out there. How are things going so far?
@@IDCWoodcraft every day is getting better and better thanks to your teachings. Thank you so much
Thanks again, Garrett. Another fine demo... new nuggets of knowledge gold deposited.
Squib, glad to hear it brother!
Hi Garrett I Was always wanting to get into cnc and i was fortunate enough to come across someone who was selling a cnc a ooznest workbee z1 only 6 months old used once got it at a bargain price i was already into router carving by hand but always wanted to learn cnc,Then i came across your youtube videos wow so informative been watching lots so far can't wait to get started first things first i have to make a sturdy table so that's the first project then make a spoilboard before i can start with the cnc look forward to you being my teacher on youtube ...Thanks Gareth from across the pond in South Wales UK.👍
Hey Gareth, I just saw your email this morning brother and I want to personally welcome you aboard to the channel and the awesome world of CNC! I'm glad the videos have been helping you out so far and it sounds like you are on the right track getting everything set up my friend. Keep up the great work!
So, It is 2:30 in the morning and once again I can't sleep so I'm in here going to school with my favorite professor. I am going to try this this weekend. Wish me luck. Will follow up. Harold PS sending good vibes to Patrick and his wife.
You crack me up The Yard Sale! Go to bed my friend, the video will be there in the morning.
@@IDCWoodcraft I would like to post photos of my cnc set up but I don't know how. 😕 I'll see if my grandndson will show me how.
I have used EASEL for years, Last year I switched to V-Carve-Pro. I could do this in EASEL but it was a huge pain. I knew V-Carve could do it with the same or more difficulty. Your video made it so simple and easy to do. I can't wait to add this technique to my repertoire of projects.
Skully, Vcarve is a good software package, no doubt about that, once you learn how to use it like a pro! Glad to hear that this video helped you brother.
Garrett,
I just got into using a CNC machine.. You absolutely are one of the most thorough instructors I have learned from….thank you very much.
I already have something in mind with regard to this video.
One of my biggest questions is the proper use of bits and when to use.
Keep these videos coming they are making me more comfortable with both Vetric and my machine.
Thanks again.
JS11952, wow I'm truly humbled my friend thanks for the kind words. I recommend taking a look at this video here →th-cam.com/video/wdQ-_hllmKY/w-d-xo.html. I think you'll find it super helpful!
I'm just starting on this and I brought a new CNC shark router 2 weeks ago. I didn't have any idea how to start at all or what to do! Since I found you, you have been just a mentor and a teacher for me. In just a couple of yours videos, I have learn so much and a lot! Thank you for having this and for been so dedicated on this matters! It is a pleasure to listen to your teaching!I already did my first cut and I know I still have a lot to learn. Thank you and God bless you brother! You are the Man!
Hi Manuel. Wow, what a compliment. Thank you!!!
I can't wait to see what you start to make. You will send pictures, won't you?
@@IDCWoodcraft Yes I will post some pictures in your email. Still learning and going thru your videos. So far I get stuck in a few things but with you help I will learn! Thank you again!
Thanks. Have seen this on the Vectric site, but I like your explanation better.
Hi bob. thanks for the little vectric boost, lol
much love and prayers sent!
This one's for you Patrick!
Nice job explaining this. I watched another video in the same topic that made this very confusing. Thanks for making it simple!
Dan, you are so welcome my friend.
Wow Garrett. That's a lot of info. Lol. I'll be re-watching this a few times. I definitely can follow the logic. I also purchased the bit set! Thanks for all you do!
Hey Frank, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Definitely watch it as many times as you need brother, I know I talk fast sometimes! Thanks for supporting me and what I do, I'm excited to get those bits out to you and see what you create with them!
Awesome, this is amazing. I am getting a hand of aspire and my CNC.
I am really appreciative of all the hard work you put into these tutorials,
I am learning from Nigeria and it is so comforting to find a tutorial on aspire that just my CNC Router easy to use. Well done!!!!!
Thank you Adedamola . From Nigeria, huh? Wow! Welcome to this amazing world of CNC routers. I look forward to seeing you projects. Make sure to send pictures.
@@IDCWoodcraft You bet I will be sharing pictures very soon. thanks
you make this so easy that i feel like ive been doing this for years
Hi Trip. Now that was a compliment. That's exactly what I want to give you...making it easy
Great video. Lot easier than vetric explanation.
The $100,000 question?
How to paint the layers different colors
How is the best way to paint the different layers.
Have learned alot in your videos.
Thanks
Todd
Oramask for layer 1. After that...? But my friend, I obviously want $100,000 so I guess I'll have to come up with a solution
Will definately mention your name when am buying my cnc and you are indeed the best instructor i have come up on. After i found your channel I stopped looking for persons to guide me. You are the best
Wow Swayne. What a compliment. Thank you!
Oh, cna you do me a favor, please use the link in my videos or on my website when you make your purchase. That way I'll get a little commission. Thanks
thoughts and prayers Patrick. I just recently finished Chemotherapy for intestinal cancer. Stay strong and fight hard. don't give in. You got this Patrick.
Thanks for putting your thoughts out the FL.
Patrick, sure hope everything comes out OK. YAHA MOMENT, LOL This is great. You are the MAN, Garrett
Hey Karl. thank you brother. And thank you for putting your thoughts out to Patrick
Sending positive thoughts and adding to prayer list. All the best
Hi Tracey. I will pass the message! Thank you.
Hey Garret.
Thanks for the great videos and training and etc....
Love your approach to teaching and not editing out real time 'oops' as it has a way of hitting home when you need to fix something.
"Mistakes are simply the path to perfection"!
Thx
PCD
Peter, my pleasure! I'm glad you enjoy seeing some of the imperfections, I'm far from perfect but the little mess ups make for excellent teaching opportunities! And I couldn't agree more, it's a quote I live by my friend.
Absolutely!
I was going to share my 1st attempt using your method but don't see how to attach anything here?
Thanks for your instructions!
Thankyou young man
Once again you solved questions I have been having.
flashgordon1599, You're welcome! I'm glad I could help answer your questions.
Really like what you are doing, very helpful. Thanks
Don, glad to help brother!
Very Good tutorial! Thanks, Garrett
Mark, thanks brother.
This video is shocking... I am writting right now to my CNC manufacturer and software. Thank you.
What do you mean, "shocking"
@@IDCWoodcraft I mean that the only thing you ask for is a recommendation. The good energy you put into your videos is priceless
Very informative. You have a gift for teaching.
Robert, so nice of you! Thanks brother!
I love cnc👌👌👌🌷🌷
Greats from Holland
Hello holland! CNC brothers!
Really enjoy the way you present the steps with out rants and bunch of clutter..I'm still trying to absorb this bonding of the two fonts.
Mike, I'm glad you've enjoyed it! I know it's a little tricky, but practice it a few times and it will make more sense! Keep up the good work!
My prayers out to the family. I love your channel. I'm looking at getting into CNC, I've learned a lot from you.. 🙏🙏 thanks
Hi Larry. Thinking about it, huh? What kinds of things would you like to make?
@@IDCWoodcraft I'm not sure yet, I do a lot of scroll saw work.
@@larrygwinn6649 you'll love a CNC machine when it comes to scroll saw work. I'll be putting a video out shortly called the warrior woman project. You'll see how fast it is compared to scroll saw.
Hang in there Pat, God has your back.
thank you Rodney for sending that good energy to Patrick
Your videos are well done and I have learned a lot, the Stacked Text video was for awhile very understandable but then with all your mistakes I started to feel like I was chasing chickens in the barn yard, would be nice to see this instruction without all the back tracking mistakes.
Charles, sorry for the confusion brother.
Prayers Patrick!! godspeed in your recovery
I'll pass this on to Patrick, for sure
Excellent video! Thank you
user-mi6cl7wp2j , you are so welcome brother!
this is fun, i love your videos.
hi Stacey. Thanks!!! Are you making stuff these days on your CNC?
Patrick may God bless your family🤗
Craig, thank you my friend.
Thank You, This was a very good video on how to make a stacked text signs! I am now subscribed..
Claudia! Welcome to the channel, and the community. There are a lot of people who share with each other in the comments, and we always wlecome a new brother or sister CNC'er into the crowd!
You the man videos are fantastic
Rusty, right on brother! Glad you liked this one.
Hang in there Patrick. God has a plan and we are all part of it. Positive thoughts will get you through. Prayers for you friend.
Thank you Charlie for sending your thoughts and prayers to him
AHA!, Excellent Teach Garrett!!
Marty, thanks brother!
Great vid Garrett, It's kinda weird, I never remember how to stack text, uhhg. I need to practice, practice, practice. Thanks again.
Andrew, pnce you get how easy this is, it'll be like riding a bike. You'll never forget again
My thoughts and prayers are with you Patrick and your wife. Prayers help my wife fight cancer last year, I am sure it will help you.
Hi Rick. Thanks for putting PAtrick and his wife in your thoughts. I know the cancer thing. I lost my wife to it. Seems we have a connection in this.
Thank you so much for finally getting me to understand how to do the stacked text. I kept screwing things up however by making sure I divide each and every element on it's own layer got me on the right path.
One question, when there is a clearing toolpath and a final path , 1/4" then 1/8" tool path and you have to re-calculate the tool path, does it matter which one you choose to re-calculate since they are tied together in a way. Will it recalculate both paths or is it better to delete them both and then calculate the paths. Thanks again so much for the great video's.
Hi Gary. I'm glad these videos are helping you! All toolpaths will recalculate when they are in the same path.
Hang in there Patrick, I hope all goes well for you! I am going to send an email to Vectric to check out your channel, If enough of us do, maybe we can get them to send you Aspire! Stacked text is a breeze in Aspire. What a terrific video on stacked text though, it took me alot of messed up lumber to get that right lol.
Hey Chevy. I'd absolutely love to have Aspire.. In a way, I'm glad to be limited to desktop for now, as that is what many people have, and it forces creativity...how can I manipulate it to do what I want?
Thanks for all of your videos! I am a newbie but fully intent to retire my wife with what I create from my CNC machine. I've learned a ton already!! I'm gonna do a one on one soon.
Hi Clifton. What a driving 'why'. Let's set a date to get her retired. When?...and make it a little challenging to get to.
@@IDCWoodcraft I’d like to be at my goal by the end of 2021, but no later than the first quarter of 2022!
@@CBrantleylmft I always suggest writing that goal down. There's something about writing.
Awesome explanation! new sub!!
Thank you, T Bas!
Another great video
Brian, glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Garrett, your explanation and guidance is amazing. I have been so blessed to learn so much from you and are forever thankful. I was wondering do you ship to Australia. Cheers Mate :)
Dennis, I am so happy to hear that brother! Keep working hard and learning everything you can. Im excited for your projects to keep getting better and better with time.
Garrett - I will definitely place Patrick and wife on my prayer list. Love your educational materials. You made text on text very easy. OpenBuilds can definitely use your help with training on software. They have excellent videos for their builds but not much on the software. They have excellent customer service.
Would like to see from you how to cut intricate carves such as celetic borders, etc.
Hi Wayne. Send a note to them. I'd love to train for them.
I will put that on my list of videos to make. I am super far behind on them.
Hi Garrett - I have already sent them a note. Keep up the good work.
Garrett you have helped me tremendously so far and I dont even have a cnc yet. I am 59 yrs old and an avid woodworker for years. I am in the auto sales business full time and do woodworking on the side. I watch your videos while creating on my Vcarve pro trial. My question is what cnc should I start out with? I looked at the 5 axis legacy and the Laguna. I dont want junk but want to stay in the 4 to 6000 range. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tony
Tony, I'm always happy to help! I'm glad you're getting a head start on learning VCarve, you'll be able to hit the ground running when you get your machine in hand! My recommendations for machines change depending on what you are looking to make. You can get an excellent CNC for your price range. Both machines you mentioned are great CNCs but they tend to come with high price tags and the software to operate a 5 axis CNC is also pretty pricy.
If you don't need a 5th axis, I would recommend looking into machines like the longmill or AVID. Both are excellent CNCs and I think you'd find both within your price range.
Do you know what you want to make? Do you need a 5 axis?
Best wishes to Patrick and his wife.
As for the video, once again an excellent job! Made it very easy to understand!
Thanks Larry. You've already done stacked text, correct?
Garrett, not yet, still waiting on delivery of my Onefinity,should be 3 weeks or so now. Getting excited to try this out!
It is oddly second nature for me to hit the like button as soon as the video starts. Its all good stuff
Thanks J! Appreciate it.
Special prayers to be sent out to Patrick and his wife wishing a speedy recovery back to a normal life .
Thanks Wayne. Patrick continues to need them.
Patrick my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery for both you and your wide.
Hi Dale. Thanks for sharing your healing thoughts with Patrick.
Patrick - I note that this video was made over a year ago but you have been in my prayers. I hope everything worked out for you and yours.
David, thank you brother. I appreciate the support.
Thoughts and prayers to Patrick, his wife, and the rest of their family and friends. Get better soon!😊
Spunky Bear, thanks brother!
Thanks!
Lloyd, no problem brother! Thanks for your support.
Making the stacked text sign was a whole lot easier after watching your video Garrett, thanks for all the information. Would using these techniques also work for putting text on a flag?
Hi Mike. I am really glad this helped. A lot of people struggle with it. That's why this video exists.
Great job
Thanks Mike!
How Not surprising sir !! I always learn something new from your lessons.
My machine is self built type based on the Ox machine which was popular some four years ago and I am still stuck with the MACH3 and old XP PC (which work grate by the way). Can You please address the kind of software you are using nowadays or recommend one ?
Hi Ilan. So glad the videos have some nuggets in them for you. I use Vectric Vcarve Pro and gSender for the control software. Recommend them both
I am enjoying this stacked text video. Unfortunately I only have the trial version of Vectric pro so I can't save the toolpaths. I am currently using Carbide create pro. I am going to have to take the skills I learned from this video and apply it to my knowledge and software.
I really wish there was a person with your knowledge that was running carbide create.
I will definitely be purchasing the vectric pro when I get better and start selling some finished projects.
Thanks again.
13bostonmac, I'm glad the video was helpful for you brother. I get what you mean about trying to applying the knowledge to other platforms of software and the challenges that come with it. But, you got this my friend! Keep up the good work!
Great Video! My two cents: Would be good to merge toolpaths as well as the process shown would require either unnecessary tool changes if toolpaths are run sequentially or would cause for unnecessary time starting each "like" toolpath manually. This could be done in two files if you are using a machine that does not have an automatic tool changer.
Patrick, that is a great point! That would definitely help reduce tool changes.
Very nice! Now . . . what tips do you have to apply two different finishes to visually offset the layers?
Hi Craig. How about a color apoxy for the bottom layer and clear epoxy for the top layer.
still using this video. Made a stacked name sign today. Thanks again!
You are so welcome my friend. Glad to hear this one helped you so much.
Prayers to you Patrick and your family.
Hi Steve. I will pass this on to Patrick. Thank you
@@IDCWoodcraft Garrett,, Love your video,, but do you think this can be done with 2D figures from VCarve like a tree on the sides of the name and such?? Thanks again for the great tutorial
Never knew I could select two bits on one calculated tool path
Butch, glad you got the inside scoop then my friend.
Best wishes to Patrick and his wife. Wishing you a speedy and FULL recovery.
Hi Steve. Patrick will absolutely embrace your good vibs
Hi, I enjoy learning from you! I have a question on the Stacked text. When making your sign, to make the upper text one color and the bottom text a different color could you take as an example a piece of walnut and a piece of Maple glue them together, sandwich together with glue, then machine them so that you get both colors are produced. I know it can be done, my concern would be glueing a thin piece of wood, would I have problems with any voids or any warping etc...
Photodhill, you absolutely could brother! You bring us great things ot consider though including the possibility of voids. It may take some trial and error to get it just right, but I don't see why it couldn't be done my friend!
