Javi's Almost Impossible Challenge 2017- episode 187 - 197

Hi Everyone

Throughout the month of November I will be entering the Javi's challenge which will means one video a day all through November. These videos will be short due to the work load required to post them but hopefully you will find them entertaining. So join Chip and myself for the month of November.
This page will cover each day of video entries Starting at day 21 until day 30
I will add new videos to the page so bookmark it and check back each day.
Cheers
Peter

Where possible I will post links to the files I use however this will not be possible for projects.

Day 21 starts with a disaster and a Massage Roller which might come in useful later on.

Only a VCarve file has been provided for this project as it uses a moulding toolpath that will not work in DXF format. The file was created using VCarve Pro 8.5 and will not open in earlier versions.

While waiting for some varnish to dry I took a break and tested the Boomerang. A quick watch of a couple of youtube videos to see how to throw it and here is the result.

It's been a few years since I last did a PhotoVCarve. Looks like I still remember how.
I will make a new videoin the new year on how to use PhotoVcarve as it can be a bit of a blackart at times.

  1. Peter,

    It has been great fun waking up to your projects over the past month. Thanks for taking the time and making the effort.

    A question:
    You did some carvings then painted the carving then did a pocket path to remove the paint from the surface of the project. How deep was that pocket?

    Thanks,
    Dave

    1. Hi Dave,thanks for watching.
      The pocket depth was set very shallow at about 0.5mm or 20 thou if you live in the USA. It only needs to skim the paint off. If there is any sign that it isn't enouth then I would drop it another 0.25mm (10 thou) until I have removed all the paint. When I VCarve the original lettering or image I set a start depth of 0.5mm which ensures that the Vcarve is 0.5mm deeper than it would normally be and so when the skim is done it will loo correct.
      Hope this helps.
      Cheers
      Peter
