I find myself often with few comments,but I must say the layout for the lessons are much more professional looking . Good Job……..Joe
Thanks Joe! Bob Easton, who is the mastermind behind the technical part of the school, did a wonderful job. I am very pleased with how it looks and works too. Thanks Bob!
I’d be interested in knowing the thickness you recommend for this project. I see width and height but not thickness.
Thanks.
The depth of the carving can be 1/8″ to 3/16″ deep at the outside edges. Be careful not to make these rays too deep, or the sharp corners will become fragile.
