I have put a package together that includes a manual for construction of a chipcarving design using the Vector program. It includes about 20 figures, in both Vector and .GIF format, showing each step. The .SBP files for rosettes 1-4, and some Vector files saved during their construction are included. Some instructions to apply the same methods to generation of cutting paths for fonts are in the manual. Send e-mail to address below to get my mailing address.
Edge lighted signs Here is an ongoing project to make an edge lighted sign using Plexiglas.
It is 11.5 by 6.5 inches and uses the Campanile font. A more attractive sign will be one cut from the back - after inverting the cutting path in the x direction. The next step will be to come up with a nice frame that covers the light source. Probably not, but here are results of one expedition to record a locally rare Bachman's Sparrow.
