Wow, Wow, WOW! Bob thats great work again. I also like the fat board approach did you glue boards or find something 4 inches?
I was reading on the cnczone forums about painting and finishing and lot of guys are using a film that they cut through so only certain parts can be stained or painted as they go.
Have you investigated that stuff any?

Thanks Greg, I carved 2 of the image and laminated a total of 4 pieces of 1" oak together for this one. I have not seen the film covering you mentioned but will have to check it out.

I might add that I had to buy me a bandsaw so I could cut out around the design and that it was a real chore to make sure the front and back patterns were in the correct position so that I did not cut part of it off on one side or the other. This was made for a lady who lost her husband a line of duty death (house fire roof collapse). They have a helmet blessing ceremony for firefighters every year and will be displaying roses in it. She had told me I was her last resort to find something for that purpose, as she had looked everywhere so it was nice to be able to come up with the design.

There was a lady on here asking me about a hire for something and I recommended her to talk to you about it, I wonder was that her?

Greg, no I don't think that was her, she had private messaged me on here and I responded wanting more info and never heard anything back. This particular person contacted me via my sell page on etsy.com. It's capstar woodworking@etsy.com if you want to take a peek.

I did try to visit the cnczone site but was never able to get their page to load.

Bob here is an example of a vbit AND the film being used at the same time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozIaHxxb-S8You leave the film on till you have painted your cut, in most programs like cut2d you can make multiple tool paths so you can paint as you go. |

www.dropbox.com/s/tioeozg0he3fuoy/001.JPGwww.dropbox.com/s/vhumt4kic6cyl0l/recipe%20%20%281%29.JPGYou guys tend to do a lot more intricate stuff than I, I'm more interested in using the 1013 to do components on items I build. For example, one of the pictures shown is a treasure chest that I made for my 3 year old grand daughter to dig for on the beach (following a treasure map) when we went to Nags Head NC this summer. The second is a recipe box for my daughter, who wanted something that would handle standard 8.5 x 11 paper, when the lid is pulled off the table with the recipes pop's up to be the height of the lid's original position. Just carved a copy of the footprint from the wall of the NICU when they send babies home, grandaughter born early in November and the machine did a great job of following the photo.

  I'm thinking an actual birth certificate might be tough to do, all that small typing and a lot of information goes into those. If you try it, I'd love to see the results! On the left is the footprint from the NICU wall, and on the right is the carved piece, as yet unfinished since my daughter inlaw is an artist and I'm sure she'll want to paint it herself. |

Greg, your film idea has a lot of merit. If you painted the entire board first, then made your cuts through the film and wood at the same time, all you'd have to do is spray paint the cuts and remove the film to have the finished product with nice sharp lines. I'm going to look into that, it would work great on outdoor signage.
