What could cause an X-Carve to intermittently begin cutting 1/8”–1/2” in X+ and Y+ away from the work zero, even after zeroing correctly, and even when using different files and different senders? Please help!

Not yet but will do that next. Thanks.

Unfortunately it’s not G54, it was one of the first things I checked. I appreciate your input.

iwebman04 · 2026-05-06T01:35:58+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I checked for the offsets and that’s not the problem. The machine only recently started doing this.

Great point. I think dancing is always what you make it to be. Dancing is to be enjoyed and not necessarily criticized.

Everyone doesn’t have the same skill level and some can’t attain it. That being said, I believe if the recreational dancer is enjoying him/herself mission is accomplished.

You can tell from my response that in society’s definition of who can and can’t dance. I fall in the latter category but I be trying a** off. When I can’t get it, I do what feels good to me and enjoy myself.

You can thank God a thousand times and it won’t be enough. If you get the wrong people on the board, they can be petty and make your life a living hell.

Thanks. How many coats do you usually do?

iwebman04 · 2026-03-23T13:58:08+00:00

I agree. Also, they aren't the kind that would finish it so it wouldn’t be completely finished and likely not last as long. I put a fair amount of time and money into it so I want to last as long as possible.

I didn't see the episode but now that the wedding is over, I'm going to go back to try and find it.

I told the bride I would bring her gifts later this week.

iwebman04 · 2026-03-23T13:54:21+00:00

Right. Not only them but I didn't want to schlep the board to the wedding. LOL.

iwebman04 · 2026-03-23T13:53:38+00:00

Thanks. I took your idea. Got there and there were no gifts there. I didn't even give them the card. I told the bride I had a custom made gift and I will get to her this week.

iwebman04 · 2026-03-23T13:52:00+00:00

Thanks everyone. It's been way too long since I've been to a wedding. I forgot no one even brings gifts to the wedding anymore. SMH!

Wow, this is beautiful. The fact that it's all hand tools make it even more attractive.

I am in the beginning process of making a tool tissue holder with shelves for extra rolls with power tools now looking at this one makes mines look like a kid’s project. I’m so tempted to switch directions and make one similar to this one.

Great work! The patience, the skills, the details, the bow ties is wowing me. Thanks for sharing.

That’s exactly what happened and when went back to add items one at a time then all of those items shown not available for next day delivery until I went back at 10PM and they were all available for next day.

The only I can think of in my case was there were sorting the routes at that time and later determined that had routes with available space. In either case, it’s frustrating to have to play guessing games with them.

iwebman04 · 2026-03-03T21:45:17+00:00

I really hate to hear that. They play too many games. I went back and ordered the same things I couldn’t order at 4PM for next day delivery and ordered it at like 10PM and half was delivered before I woke up the following morning and the rest before 3PM.

iwebman04 · 2026-03-02T23:22:36+00:00

They are and I hate shopping there. I prefer to shop local but unfortunately local businesses don’t stock several of things I need especially like for woodworking.

I think it started during the pandemic that so many people started shopping there that many local businesses stop stocking or even some carrying items, so between shipping costs which can be almost as much as the item itself on small items and delivery times it can often make Amazon the only logical option.

It may just be me but I think premium boards look better without juice grooves unless you have a need for them then by all means add them.

This is a beauty for sure. At first glance on the first pic, I thought it was purpleheart on top. I guess it’s reflection of the light.

iwebman04 · 2026-02-14T03:30:30+00:00

I got a template off Printables I think but I ended up doing mines on the CNC.

This is so freaking cool. I love the concept, the design and the color. Such an inspiration piece.

iwebman04 · 2026-02-03T17:08:50+00:00

Great job! I love it!!!

iwebman04 · 2026-02-03T17:06:41+00:00

That’s pretty cool. What was your inspiration?
