Thank you Dave, that was the vidio I was looking for, I've passed over it a hundred times and never knew what it was . I just have to let the beam dry a little more and by then I should be ready to go at it. Thank you again, you are a grat help.
 I'm an old dog trying to learn new tricks.

Dave, is there something in V Carve that you know of, that tells you how to do this ,I see at times things that refer to this but can't seem to find anything that explains the how to stop,move the work piece and then continue.
Some more pic's of my first machine build, and what it could do, worked well but slow, that was about 2 years ago.

Thanks Dave,
I like the way you do things ,Ive gut a lot to learn.
My cutting area is 48x18 I need to learn how to stop, move my work piece over, and continue with with a larger carving , any ideas on were I can go to figure out how to do this? I have an 18' 6x8 beam to do with oak leaves and A coat of Arms in the center.
As soon as I figure out how to post pictures ,I will ,of my work and my machine.

Dave ,I was looking at your lithopane and noticed your table. How does that work for you?
I need to build another table for my cnc and I'm the kind of guy that screws his work down to a 5/8 sheet of cabinet grade plywood , when it gets too bad I replace it . I bought a black wallnut stump for $25.00, sliced it on my sawmill ,gut 6 nice 5 quarter slices about 25"x 18", carved 2 of the boards  Last supper by DA Vince. Any way I did not want to drill and screw the boards down , What you have would work perfect for what I want to do . Could you tell me what you used for track ,and does it work well with wood dust , or do you have to take a lot of time keeping it clean.

Tyler ,
through a board on that bad boy and see what it will do ! once you see what it is capable of doing than adjust it to what you need it to do . You can't cut much with 500 lines maybe the road runner . you can go to the vectoring store and download 3D machinist for free and run the free samples , this will give you a good idea what your machine can do. I was doing the same thing you are ,a year ago,this week I carved the last supper . Spend the money and buy Mach3 you will need it to do anything . you will learn everything you need to know by running the machine, start cutting!!

Hi'
My name is John Mumley, Live in upstate NewYork on a fifty acre hobby farm with lots of wood. Last year I bought a bandsaw mill and started cutting wood ...then what to do with it.
this time last year I started my cnc build took me three months to compleat it. as i have cows and goats and chickens, i had to put it away for the summer and and go back to farming .
Winter has now set back in, in upstate new york, and I'm back at it and have a sh-t load of questions. you will be hearing from me often.
