[sqatch]

Just finished this, a bit late I see.

[qsacracer]

Perfect, thanks guys

The wood burned image has been altered slightly to be more proportional and supplied in a dxf file. Id like to make some plaques and hope chest or something with it. I have aspire but Im still quite new to it. Any help I can get would be great.

Thanks ahead, John

Too many open vectors in that DXF file. It requires some major cleanup.

It will be a challenge none the less. I'm getting good results with aspire with the node edit mode. Creating seperate components. Im going to continue and use my final version that way its more personal. Ill upload a pic when I get it finished.

Just sharing an image of my latest little project on the chance that it might inspire someone.

Hey jhowelb how did you color your image on the wood and how did you do it

[Helmsbunch]

Here is a wood sign I did for a charity benefit. It took longer than I wanted to spend on it, but it looked nice.

Hey jhowelb how did you color your image on the wood and how did you do it

I V-Carved the image into MDF and sprayed stencil ink into the pattern then sanded off the over spray.

This is a different type of request for ideas or links for what i need or drawings.
What i want to do is make a jewelry box lid and have a 3d carving (as a seperate piece) in the center of the lid. It would have a dowel in the center of it connected to a hole underneath it.
That would be connected to some type of latch device that would operate similar to a doorknob that would engage or disengage to allow the box to be opened. Just think of a regular doorknob with a longer latch on it. I hope the pictures illustrate what i'm trying to describe. The domed shape represents the 3d carving that would sit on the face of the lid and to open the box you would turn the carving one way or the other. Thanks for your help!

myxpykalix,

Use a hidden rod latch, see attached image.

Thanks Jeff that is similar to what i had drawn up, since you have a picture do you have a link for where i could buy something like that? I will google that also

[jalessi]

myxpykalix,

I would go to the hobby store that sells R.C. plane parts. Pick up a bell crank and a few push rods or a piece of control rod and bend them yourself. Add a few springs to the contraption and your done.

Can any of you convert .ttf font files to .shx?

[TrickyCNC]

what's .SHX ?

[myxpykalix]

Hey Jalessi!
I went down to my local RC shop and of course they had nothing like what i needed. Do you have any links for that part you showed me? Or a distributor name? You got the picture from where?

myxpykalix,

Also go to eBay and do a search for "servo arm" you will find thousands of parts.

Jeff,
It helps when you know the right term to search for...thanks. I found this one thing that looks almost perfect but i can't find any local distributors or good measurements on this...:violin:
