Dr. Beards Apothecary Trunk Project
For the 2013 CarveWright Conference I wanted to build something big. I wanted a project that inspired and spoke to a variety of people and their diverse interests. I wanted to do a piece of cabinetry, but also wanted to use some experimental techniques to show off some new possibilities. We had created a “New […]
Doug Haffner’s Star Wars posters for the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
When CarveWright was contacted by ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to help with a Star Wars room, we immediately thought of customer Doug Haffner of haffnersigns.com . When we called Doug and mentioned Star Wars room, he responded with “YES!” before we could even finish the question! We only asked if he could do one carved poster, but […]
Carving T-shirts and Christmas Cards?
Yes, It’s true, I made t-shirts and Christmas cards with the CarveWright! I used an old process called block printing. It’s been around forever, and many of you have probably even done it before. Traditionally, one would trace an image onto a block of some sort, carve away (by hand) the negative space to create […]
Treasured Toy Chests
This project, posted by user Ron Boley, is a great example of how much fun you can have with your CarveWright CNC System! Ron has been a carver for many years and has always wowed on the user’s forum with his elaborate furniture builds. He originally made this pirate chest for his grandson, Logan, a […]
Chocolate Molds
I’ve seen over the years several customers playing with mold making with their CarveWright systems. The machine is so perfect for doing this kind of thing, but I had never experimented with it, until now. I’m going to explore actually making a complete product all the way to the packaging, using the machine to make […]
Iron Man Suits, HALO Weapons, and More!
In my virtual travels around the net, I occasionally come across something that blows my mind. Recently this happened, and I discovered it was being done with a CarveWright. I try to keep up with the world of 3D fabrication in general. With all the recent 3D printers and CNC machines flooding the market it […]
Glenda Edwards – Little Dipper Crafts
Woodworking is nothing new to Glenda Edwards of Idaho Falls, Idaho. Her father and brother are both carpenters, so working with tools was something she was very familiar with. Then about fifteen years ago, Glenda started hosting monthly DIY parties at her home for fellow crafters to come do projects together. This eventually turned into a […]
Vintage Hardware Co. Sign
I’ve been seeing a lot of cool “how I made it” videos lately of all kinds of projects. The accessibility of quality cameras, editing software, and the platforms to broadcast them has made it so easy. The only trick is to just get started and make things. So I did. Recently on the Carvaholics Facebook […]
Larry Quisenberry, The Cowboy Carvaholic
Larry Quisenberry says he doesn’t do fancy projects with CarveWright, but when looking at his work, you can see a completeness in concept that isn’t ordinary. When Larry takes on a project, he really takes it all the way.
