First project. Soundwaves

Alright, posting up my first project. Brand new to cnc so took a good bit of time to learn but pretty happy with how it turned out. Figured i’d go ahead and overdo something for my garage where missteps wouldn’t matter before trying more ambitious things.

Took the soundwave for a full song (from The Replacements fwiw) and divided it into 6 parts so it shows the whole song across the 6 drawer faces.

Ha. Fair question. I’m a late 80’s college rock kid so def the band. Can’t hardly wait.

Very cool!

I also noticed how flat your 4x4 is sitting on the bench, jealous mine has always had a bow to it.

ha thanks. being my first cnc machine, i didn’t know how “perfect” the surface had to be so kind of obsessed with jointing and planing them before assembly.

Whoa awesome… so how did you go from sound file to a cutting pattern? now if you can get them to move to sound sources in the shop… sorry had to go the next step

I’ll keep it brief but happy to elab if anyone needs. I happen to write software as my day job and currently working on audio software so already have code that renders soundwaves from any audio file. And thankfully it already renders into a vector file. So was able to do that and import it into Affinity Designer to then integrate it with the rest of the drawer face design. Once i had all the vectors the way i wanted them, it was just a matter of importing into Carbide Create to do the tool pathing.
