What did you cut on your Shapeoko/ Nomad today?

Did you add pocket at the back for pegs?

On the cribbage board? I put a hole in the top edge & made a walnut cork (tapered cylinder)
Also put a keyhole on the back so he can hang it on the wall.

Finally getting around to getting the drawers/fronts installed on my table. Used one piece, cut down the middle with some extra thick tabs to hold together for mounting, cut apart with a slim pull saw after attached. It’s hard to see, not sure if I’m going to pour some resin or paint into the Vcarve/Countour cuts. It will probably stay just like it is, its a tool. This was good practice for aligning and using center zero. Could have been shifted slightly higher by a .25” to .5”

Some easy-to-assemble Bat Boxes.

I could use a few more bats, there used to be a lot of them.

I found a link with dimensions. Thanks for the brain jog !

Cut nothing IRL. I did get the HDM configured in Fusion, mostly.

I got half way to doing this for my SP5 pro 4x2 .
I got a model created, but I did not get the movements assigned.

I am a bit confused somewhere along the line. This maybe tonight’s effort !

It’s a bit hokey the way they implemented it. Be sure to organize your components in a hierarchy in the source model. So, I did Y, then moved X into Y, Z and Spindle into X. I left the table separate in the browser.


Also, it seems the “home” location is backwards in the model based on what you put in the configuration. So, I set the model to front left, then the config in the home states and it worked.

Thanks for the pointers ! 20 chars

Still need to clean up the one on the right, :roll_eyes:
Both made from Walnut. One of the left was treated with Walrus Oil and the one on the right was treated with water based polyurethane.

Well done, James. I’ve never seen walnut that looked more like maple (although the grain that shows in the one on the right doesn’t look like maple.) That’s a mystery to me.

Outstanding detail! What bit was used for the finishing pass if you don’t mind me asking?

Yea that’s what I thought also, but when you get it wet it looks way darker, and you can see the marbling.

Hi Tim, I used the IDC Woodcraft bits, The Beast for the roughing and the 1/4 Ultra High Detail Tapered Ball Nose Bit for the finishing.

Thanks for the reply, I’ll give the TBN a look at the geometry specs.


A custom remote control so my Mother, 92, can find her favorite programs easily.

You can see that my fixture did not properly align the button caps, but other than that, I’m pleased.

Can you do one for a mobile phone? My mum could use one. :grinning:

That is such an amazing idea and project. I’m a programmer and I still look at a modern remote and think “What the hell is all this for?” I would not be surprised if you get orders/requests for that. :slight_smile:
