DEPTH – The depth may vary from machine to machine, but I found that between.Make sure you are measuring and adjusting your project accordingly. PROJECT DIMENSIONS – I found there was variation in diameters of the rolling pins from 2.125″ to 2.25″.If your carving is too deep and if you don’t have a draft, the dough will get stuck in roller and it won’t work well. NOTE: I experimented with some different depths and optimization levels, so let me save you some time and tell you what I found.

Next, I found a floral pattern image online and imported it into the CarveWright Project Designer software. You can use any patterns you want in this simple design. I found some Christmas patterns on the CarveWright Pattern Depot and inverted them into the rectangular shapes. My material is prepared and I have their measurements, but what to carve on them? Inspired by the old-world Springerle cookies, I based my first design on their traditional rectangular patterns. The blanks are marked, drilled, and mounted into the Rotary Jig. Then, with a center finder, I marked the centers so I could drill the 3/16″ holes needed for mounting into the Rotary Jig. Once the glue from the pegs was dry, I cut off the excess with the band saw and sanded the ends flat. Shaping and wedging pegs into the ends of the rolling pins I figured I could make some pegs to wedge into those holes and then measure and drill my centers. Rotary jig blanks from the kitchen isle.Īt the Lowe’s store down the street, I found some 7/8″ diameter wood dowel. I could remove the handles easy enough, but I would need to do something about those holes. I inspected them and found they had 3/4″ holes with plastic inserts on either side. That ended up being an easy decision, since I went down to Walmart and found rolling pins all nicely pre-made for me at $4.99. First, I needed to decide what material to carve on.
