Guest DentalChick Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Ok, I posted about this earlier, but am now having a panic attack 2 days before the DAT -- it is possible that we will get a dome shape, or a point (figures seen in the IQ book that don't correspond to typical notch/fluted patterns)??? If so, can someone PLEASE give me some tips on how to do these? Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wishywish82 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 how are you carving your middle notches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wishywish82 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 points mark the centre and think about carving a really narrow double fluted end turn it 90 degrees and do it again square bottom carve the end in #2 first and then mark center and do the same thing. i bisect my planes and draw lines right on the soap and then cut the lines for the points. when you do the second set it gets hard b/c the soap is thin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wishywish82 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 round figure think of drawing a round egde inside a rectange: many million tangents onto a round edge make the edge round, mark the centre and hole the blade perpendicular to the edge and scrape the soap off around the edge, varying the angle of the blade to produce a round edge. i had to draw it out before like i mentioned above before i tried it. now how about those middle notches?? seriously i find those a pain HELP!!!

Guest johnwoo19 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 What are the chances we'll get a point or a dome? wishywish, are the middle notches you're talking about those ditches in the middle of the soap? What are you having trouble with? I would say it's pretty definite that we'll be seeing that on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wishywish82 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 i can carve them but their never perfectly flat i know we'll see them i always botch them somehow, getting the angles at 90 is no prob i'm messed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wishywish82 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 stella's got her groove back. i think anyway. how does this sound for a middle notch: draw it out then cut it out, cut down to the lines, scrape parallel to the notch turn blade 45degrees from notch scrape, turn another 45 scrape then back parallel then do the 90 degree corners and voila.

Guest johnwoo19 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 I never do the 45 angle thing and my planes are almost perfectly flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wishywish82 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 i find it's the only way to get rid of miniture hills and valleys i want it so flat i can't see any light when i put the ruler against it. serves me right for not carving in 2.5 weeks :smokin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest qw1222 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Is it me or do you notice that carving with a DULL blade and a SHARP blade makes a huge difference???????????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wishywish82 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 it's like carving with a spoon my friend. wear jeans on Sat and dull your blade on your jeans before carving that way it's not too sharp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnwoo19 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 You're kidding right? Why would you want the blade to be dull? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
