I’m now getting through my backlog that had been built over the past few months, hence the rapid release of projects recently at WoodMarvels.com. This is my first attempt at engraving and plan on releasing the engraving files after I have tested them to make sure they work as I intend – hence why the engraving/raster files aren’t included with the EPS files or found in the PDF for this Electronics Trophy. This is my second trophy, the first, I [...]

It seems the Ferris Wheel B has made the rounds of several forums including the Camheads.org woodcrafting forum. http://www.camheads.org/showthread.php?t=1140 http://www.camheads.org/showthread.php?t=1072 Just wait a few days when I launch a huge new model…

The WoodMarvels.com Ferris Wheel B had a very straight forward design process as I already knew what I was building, just a better and easier to build version of the original Ferris Wheel which has since been retired. This was the first project to use gears and I plan to use them a lot more in the future. Gears can be amazing fun to work with as they had a whole new level of dynamic detail to a model. You [...]

Chris bought one of our models after discovering us and after asking if anybody heard of us on Vectric Forum. He then cut and showed-off this cool CNC’ed Model T. Read about it here: http://www.vectric.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&p=82176 I hope he doesn’t mind, I’m showing one of the project pictures below.

David Newman, the designer with the most designs here on WoodMarvels.com has released a new model which is basically a huge leafless tree. It’s perfect for hanging things from such as the following pictures showing it holding a snake! It’s decent size, 1.2 meters square! David also made a simple graphic to explain how this whole tree goes together, which is included with the EPS/DXF file you buy. You can buy it right now at WoodMarvels.com under Collaborations / David [...]

I built my first laser cut ferris wheel a while back below is the animation of the now retired model. Ferris Wheel (original): 3D Assembly Animation Although the model went well, it has some issues that mostly geared around the gears as they were done by eye. I’ve since acquired a program that generates accurate physical gears and the updated Ferris Wheel uses it. There have also been a host of refinements to the point that were based off customer [...]

I got this picture from a friend and it shows all Three Australia Musketeers. A Trotec Machine, our Sydney Harbor Bridge and recently launched Physic’s Trophy.

Well, the teething and crying has gotten to me so WoodMarvels.com and all other sites on this server are in the process of migrating to a bigger server with even faster connection speeds over the next few days. Things may get a little wacky in the meantime… moving has been known to cause temper tantrums with even the best of coding. If you have issues with your orders during the next week, please let me know. Jon Founder of WoodMarvels.com
