Can you show more detail on how you did the 2 color. I have had people ask if this can be done.

Nice work Basecircle. Haven't gotten around to doing the multi lights, but they are pretty cool. Question. I've had a drag bit for months, but like everything else, I procrastinate way too much. Still haven't used my probe that I've had two years now. Anyway. The Lions acrylic shows the drag lines quite a bit, but your next one doesn't. Different settings, step over, or what? Just curious. Thanks. Keith

Hello Keith my friend.The difference is pressure.Turn the screw on the back.more spring pressure.Cut it if not what you want.Make another adjustment.Redrag.That was the only difference.Oh by the way I too have used my probe 2years now.Give that scratch a try.Oh yeah I use the pocket toolpath for alot of the dragings. For the tool I put in a 90deg.1/8dia. cutter.But i really use the drag tool. Basecircle

Basecircle,
Thanks for the info on the drag bit, I have one for couple months now but haven't used mine yet. I have to try it now on my next one this weekend.

Glad to see I'm not the only procrastinator here. My problem is, when I see something really cool, I have to get it, even if theirs no chance of using it anyway soon. Case in point. I bought my 1951 Ford F1 pickup almost a year ago, and it's still sitting in my yard needing a little touch up work. Think their was a song years ago, "Someday".
