Rolf Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 I like it, I am making some out of tree slices and doing a bit of carving. I do like the bevel cut. for the 3d effect. Phantom Scroller and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) This is what I have been playing at. The trees are too small for me to do the 3d . They are about 3" in diameter Edited November 30, 2019 by Rolf RabidAlien, meflick, NC Scroller and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) Roly, yes I cut them out on the scroll saw and then I used last years Christmas present, the Vortex F5 power carver It literally takes me a few minutes to do the carving. I don't go too nuts as they are supposed to look a bit rustic. I tried using my carving knives but the wood is surprisingly hard, no idea what it is.

Rolf Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Not only was this under the tree last year but Santa also added the compressor with it. This spins at 400,000 RPM. I made the mistake and tried one many years ago thinking it was a toy. I have wanted one ever since. The Dremel spins @ 35,000 rpm and a I also have a Ram power carver that spins at 45,000 rpm. Both the Dremel and the Rampower are great tools but can grab and screw up your project. The Vortex is totally controllable. Thinking of my Dremel I have it connected to a foot switch and I heard a loud pop the last time I used it and it is now dead, time to do some surgery to see what got toasted. My Christmas sales pay for all of my tools except the gifts from Santa (aka Wife) Edited December 3, 2019 by Rolf Phantom Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
