Rockler has a whole bunch of those hinges and templates to manually cut them out with a router. So how did you decide to cut the hinge cut outs on your Shapeoko. I like those type of hinges but dont want to invest a lot of money in the templates when I have the universal template called a Shapeoko.
I like your inlay on the box, looks very nice. Walnut and Maple go together like ice cream and pie, great.
When I started down the âI want to make some nice boxesâ rabbit hole I looked around for hardware. I found 2 choices, crap/cheap or nice/expensive. I found Brusso, SR-638 Side Rail Hinge | Brusso Hardware, really nice hardware that appealed to my sense of how to do it right. But $42.55 for a single pair of hinges just seemed really expensive. Especially considering the fact I have a CNC.
Brusso includes a dimensioned drawing of their products so itâs pretty easy to design your own version in F360 or CC. The design is common, many folks make similar so I have no qualms about using their design as a basis for my own.
Iâve pared the cost down to about $6 a pair using brass and pins from McMaster-Carr.
At some point I will try making this design as well
Did a bourbon tray, cut the inset and handles on the 3xxl. Tried doing box joints @WillAdams but couldnt get the tightest fit so I went good ole fashion table saw and dado!
I bought my Shapeoko specifically to supplement my traditional woodworking. I have to admit that for a while it took over but now I am back to normal and using the Shapeoko for what it does best and traditional woodworking for what it does best. It is a hybrid world. Some on the forum are not woodworkers and get a cnc and try to do everything on the cnc. That can work but the hybrid approach is best.
Very nice looking tray. It is hard to tell from the photo but the carving in the center of the tray does that have a clear cover over it. I would not want to spill any of the precious bourbon.
I couldnât agree more! Right on. I can cut slats for my CNC bed faster on the table saw and drill press then on the CNC. Box joints etc.
I cut a pocket for a piece of plexi glass to sit over the carving, so it is a smooth bottom, absolutely wouldnt want to spill anything!
Couldnt agree more but i am always tinkering and trying to see what else i can do on the CNC. Not that it is faster or easier but something different to try!
Yes. Although I just used the HDM to surface it.
I decided to turn my hockey rink cribbage board design into a swimming pool design. Drew up an Olympic pool inside the original space that had the hockey rink lines and put a team logo on the centre topper. This one is in sapele since I had some on hand and love how it finishes.
That carving looks amazing. Are you doing that in CCP, or something else?
Thanks. Nothing special, using Vectric V-Carve Pro. Purchased the stl from a seller on Etsy.
5 hour carve, finishing toolpath only, tapered ball nose. The wood is Ash, Iâve found it holds detail well for a relatively soft wood.
Fantastic!
I really need to commit some time to figuring out how to use the 3D features in CC.
I am trying my first 3D carve right now actually. It is about 1/3 of the way through. I hope it cleans that lettering up before it is done but I donât think it will. This is a topographical map of the area around Fernie BC.
Thatâs really great! Iâve been to most of the places that you highlighted, too. +1
Those are cool, where did you get them? The fish look like they are from the USS Florikan.
