Paw Paw, I wish you were my neighbor, You are a great teacher! What I like best, you are straight to the point. Very Professional. With your Videos, I am able to train myself and others how to create Signs and more.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Thank you very much. Very kind words. I’m glad the videos have helped you

[@jeffdavis9892]

Great project... I like the design. I found the paint on soft woods, bleeds into the sides of the cut when painting the letters or design. This can be prevented by giving the finished cutting board a spray of clear lacquer. That stops the paint leaking into the sides of the cut letters or design when applied. Love your videos.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Thank you. Often just a spray coat of clear is not enough to completely seal the wood. I have found that I have had more success with brushing on the sealer

[@StevenJohnson-sk3pb]

Always a pleasure to watch Paw Paw’s videos. I can’t help but live the guy. I’m a Paw Paw myself, but I go by Pop🌞

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Awesome. I hope you survived the hurricane and you and your family are ok

[@debmurray52]

Pawpaw, I can not thank you enough for your tips about using markers! I never even thought about using them on wood. I made a bit of an error programming some text and thought my sign was headed for the trash. I used a black marker to highlight the shape of the letters and it was magic! Absolutely saved the day!!!!

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Awesome! You're so very welcome. I'm glad that I could help you save the project.

[@JMarcusPedroza]

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Thank you very much. Yes, I will be doing more. I’ll also be adding epoxy inlays soon

[@Silent-G]

I’ve been inspired by your x carve videos and learned so much that I bought one today, I may ask a question now and them! Thanks for giving me the courage to try my hand at this

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Wonderful! Welcome to the community. I will help you in any way that I can.

[@gemstonemine420]

Thanks

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

You’re welcome

[@ShannonMarie79]

So no shellac after cutting and before painting?

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

It optional. If you notice that the wood is soaking up the paint, then seal the wood before continuing.

[@lunnymav]

That was a new way to start a video. It’s kinda nice.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Thanks

[@merrillalbury8214]

Do you cover the ornament with a clear coat?

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Yes, I use clear gloss in a spray can

[@harldave9850]

That is absolutely awesome

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Thank you very much.

[@doaparanormal]

I always learn so much from you. I tell everyone to watch your video that is getting started. Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving....

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Thank you very much

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

That is really nice! since i do not have a CNC router I may give this technique a try using my laser to create the relief, I have zero artistic abilities when it comes to drawing.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

The laser will work just fine. In fact, you will be able to get even more detail.

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

I am going to give it shot this evening, Thank You.😁🛫

All good with KZbin. You’re very welcome. Thank you very much for watching and sharing

[@i8skeerd]

thank you for sharing, was wondering why you started in the bottom left corner instead of the center of the project like I see you do normally?

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Only trying to show a various way to do it. I do not want to do it the same all the time. This gives the opportunity for more people to see different ways to accomplish the same task.

[@dgoins6]

With the Christmas tree truck, could I just laser engrave it then paint? I'm assuming a couple of passes for depth. Thanks!

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Yes you can do that

[@curtboehmer510]

Hope you had a good and safe Thaksgiving. Is there anyway you could share the old truck in Easel or add a link to it on here. I would like to try making it but couldn't find it Easel. Thanks

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Thank you very much and I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving as well. As I said in the video that this is not my design. I obtained it from someone at Inventables either on the forum or on the project page. I also asked for the person who shared the design to please let me know so that I can give proper credit and get permission to share.

[@harldave9850]

Happy Thanksgiving to you all south of our Canadian boarders.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Thank you very much.

[@Ron_DeForest]

Couple of questions. Hand colouring the ornaments, what would you charge for such a thing to account for your time? Next, have you ever etched a photo into wood? I saw a one with various shades of burn but never saw a process.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

Never thought about it. I do not sell these. Will be doing photo engraving shortly.

[@danilleillyasaville8175]

So if you sand it after what's the point of shellacing first?

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

It seals the wood. When you paint the project, the over paint sticks to the shellac and not so much the wood.

[@burtgraham3689]

nice work on the christmas ornament - would you be willing to share the design. I would like to give some as gifts for christmas this year

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

The is sign was the Inventables XCarve CNC machine.

[@freckles2842]

It looks like you are using a vbit? What did you select in Easel for your bit since you have to have pro to select those?

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

I have four free days per month of Easel Pro. I used one free day. Old account holders have the four free days per month.

[@DanSchnieders]

Hey Phil, really enjoy what you do. You're a most creative and talented fellow. I have an x-Carve and have crawled all over the site trying to find the image of the red truck with the Christmas tree and can't seem to find it. Can you advise how I might find it a little easier? I'm assuming it remains publicly available. Hate to bother you with this but am really interested in carving it for some friend that like old country trucks. Thanks in advance. PS: I researched Inventables Forum again and finally found it. Not sure how I missed it the first time. The guy you want to credit is Chuck Lyons and he posted in December 2018.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

I’ll look to see if I still have the file. I don’t keep all the files

[@DanSchnieders]

No worries, I found it in the Forum so no need to look. In fact, I just finished carving it tonight and will paint tomorrow.@@PawPawsWorkShop

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

The file came from the Inventables forum or the Inventables Project page. This is not my design and I am uncomfortable sharing someone else's file. I have ask for the person to come forward so that I can give proper credit and get permission to share.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video, could you please do a review on your X-Carve. Im trying to decide which cnc router to get. I was wanting to get a Onefinity but Im not going to wait 3-6 months for them to fill my order.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

I also have a CNC4newbie New Carve and I love it. It is about the same price as the XCarve and is much stronger and a lot more robust. It is a fantastic machine and you can run Easel is you wish or us UGS as I do.

why cant you just surface that paint off the board with the cnc router. .005 depth per pass til its cleaned up

PawPaw, I notice my rotor is moving a lot on my original xcarve. Does xcarve sell that upgrade that you have holding your Dewalt?

It sounds like the v wheels are worn out. No, Inventables does not sell the upgrade z axis that I have on the machine. My upgrade is from cnc4newbie.com.

[@MrLaroygetz]

@@PawPawsWorkShop I’m going to have to upgrade. My other question is when you do a two bit sign, (not cheap) only us older guys would get that. Two layers on a sign with 2 different bits, will the machine automatically stop so you can install the next bit?

Nice job! Was it intentional not to center the wreath in the circle?

[@loganfreeman8237]

great but you forgot to center it to the ordament before you engrave it otherwise it is a very good work and the idea with the markers i like very good.But make from them 100 pieces and it will take a very long time.Then you want find a way to fill those out with color faster.

[@PawPawsWorkShop]

There is always another way to complete a project based on the specific need. If I had a 100 to do I would cut a stencil for each color and spray them. You could even screen print them. Your imagination is your only limitation. That what makes this such so exciting. Each project is different. Thanks for sharing.

[@dalepaladin916]

I think you should have kept the two projects separate, Because by the time you were getting through the cutting machine project I fell asleep. Sure seems like one was easier and shorter to do then the other and you should have just done one video for each.
