I have been learning the carvewright designer program and I can finally get it to do exactly what I want it to do without having to yell at it. I have been making some carvings just playing around with scrap wood and they have been coming out really well.
The first real project made was a maple cross. It took about 40 minutes to carve out and then another half hour to clean it up by hand, but I am really happy with how it came out.
One of the first designs that I thought of was a wood case for my Mac Mini. I don't feel up to that challenge yet, so I made a new faceplate for my workshop PC. I carved my logo into it, and it looks really neat!
I have a new apprentice in my workshop. He sweeps up the sawdust and brushes the sawdust out of the carvings. He is doing a very good job so far. Good thing he's cheap though!

Is your apprentice Otto? You do realize that there are child labor laws! ;-) I suppose since he's getting roam and board that should make up for it! ha! Great looking cross! You should take a picture of your logo and post it. I'd like to see it.
