In this live we had the following guest hosts as part of the live:
➡️ Lucky Warwick - his website is: luckyduckwoodworking.com
➡️ Michael Bernasconi - his website is: envision-create.com
➡️ Jim Matthews

The main topic of discussion was a series of videos - links below where I demonstrated how to take Carbin Dunn’s files for a heart shape bowl and used Vectric VCarve to create and carve the bowl with that software. This discussion lead to discussions ranging from:
✅ importing single and double sided projects
✅ timeline for making this type of bowl project
✅ epoxy used and general epoxy discussions
✅ holddown techniques
✅ setting the limit planes to allow the proper carving of the “Drip Stock” and Heart Shaped bowl
✅ purchasing wood and considerations when carving
✅ bits used in the project
✅ glue up of dissimilar materials for future bowls
