Aspire v4.5

[Old Silver Fox]

I have been using Aspire V8 for a few weeks and find it easy to use and can produce a vast array of things, attached picture is of a few creatures I modelled recently

thats neat

how do you clamp the work piece ?

[Old Silver Fox]

The mice are machined from the top in one go, so the piece of wood is held down with screws, the squirrel is made with two sides then glued together so again just held with screws into the spoil board but the snail was machined on both sides so required a pair of dowels for location plus holding down, I tend not to use clamps unless there is no room for screws as I get a more positive hold down that way and less lightly to twist free or move while machining.

Hope that helps

I use aspire too never thought of doing things like this on it though. I will have to have a go, give me a break from portraits.

They are damn good
