That is just a fantastic sign, they did a wonderful job. It really is cool to see all the awesome things people are making with your guys software. It's funny, your customer's work sells your software - without a doubt...

Looking at these 2 signs you can see exactly how the Gilded Gold Leaf lettering on the Howling Wolf Inn sign gives so much more impact when compared against the Gold painted lettering on the Oak Tree sign.

The Howling Wolf Inn sign shows how VCarve Wizard can be used to calculate 2D Pocket Clearance strategies, V-Carved Lettering and decoration and also Cut Out the finished sign.

The Howling Wolf Inn sign is outstanding. Every since i bought the combo package I have not stop thinking about the possibilities of what can be accomplished. I have a clear view of what I would like to see in a finished piece but I haven't yet figured out the steps involved in the software to make it happen. Combining 2d and vcarve toolpaths with multiple depths of cut is a trial and error approach for me. The software makes it very easy to back up and try something different. In doing a sign with the intention of painting is there a good rule of thumb on how it should be cut? Should the lowest depth be cut first or should you work your way into the wood. Tony your training videos are excellent, and I know with the success of this software your probably a very busy guy, but can you do another one in regards to the wolf sign that would give a simple minded guy like myself a point in the right direction. Combining lettering and clipart graphics is something I'm sure alot of people would be interested in. I'm not looking for how to do it just pointers on how to lay out a strategy approach on what should be cut first. Excellent software guys.

Hi Chuck,

Thanks for the positive feedback!

I'll put a video together that shows the steps needed to layout and machine the Howling Wolf Inn Sign in VCarve Wizard.

The key element in most signs is the font, especially as some look much better than others when vcarved. We purchased the font used in this sign from the Letterheads web site

See > http://letterheadfonts.com/contribut...s/mirage.shtml

This is a Great site for ideas and inspiration.

Give me a couple of days and I'll post the video.

Regards,
Tony

Jason,
I had trouble awhile back viewing the videos too. It turned out I needed to install the TSCC codec on my computer. You can get it here: http://www.techsmith.com/download/tsccdefault.asp

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jay.

Hi Jason,

Not sure why you are only getting the audio from the Flash Video so I’ve added a link to the AVI file that you can try,

Please let me know if this works or not?

Thanks Tony, the AVI file worked. I am not sure why the codec did not work.
