I have done some wine barrel art prior to my purchasing of my x-carve using a jigsaw. But, I wanted to know if anyone has ever used the x-carve on wine barrel staves. The issue I foresee having is the arch of the staves and setting up the x-carve and easel. Some of my work is here: www.keithsrusticdesigns.com
You won’t be using Easel for this unless you’re doing small designs that cut all the way through. If the curve is consistent from piece to piece, you could use a model created in a solid modeling program like Fusion 360. Another option would be to probe the curved workpiece with bCNC, chilipeppr, or gcode ripper.
Your work looks great! I can see where a CNC would be handy.
Your work looks great.
But I’m surprised that you haven’t gotten a cease and desist order for copyright infringement.
I know someone that did the same thing and did get the order.
i used to make them but quit for that reason.
Thank you! I’ll have to look into those options, as this CAD stuff is all new to me.

Thank you! I know, I’m waiting on that order to come sooner rather than later. However, I wonder if there is a certain limit made before they become concerned. I’ve only made one of each so far.

What was the basis for the copyright suit?

It is only what someone has told me from their personal experience.
I’m sure that the basis would be on the proprietary design and or verbiage.
I was making Harley signs but have since quit.
Its my understanding that they are especially aggressive.
I just don’t need it.
