What is the source for your heat transfer material?

Sounds like you have some help. I'm finding that each brand of software (I'm still using Fusion 360) has it's strengths and weaknesses. I'm not an...

I think the point is getting lost a bit. It's not that .005" matters or not, or if it's close enough for most people, or don't worry about it,...

The guitar looks great Stan. I bet it would look fantastic laser cut from black plastic, much like the metal art projects you see on the Net lately.

Not sure to what that comment applies. That you should not be using a quick release vise? Are you referring to the nut that is on the back bottom...

Bump for the weekend crowd.

It's not hard at all to find long router bits. Easy to buy even a 6" long bit. If the hole is "under-cut" (you mean in diameter?), then isn't it...

Yes. They usually just need some adjustment, often from an unneeded adjustment. Looks like it might be missing a nut that might be hard to find. ...

When you push the quick-adjust lever on the front of the vise, that raises the half-nut at the rear of the vise that engages the screw threads. When...

Ruh-roh. I gotta scrap the three end tables in process and start over.
