My Woodwork

[Khalid Khattak]

Khalid,
We are just beginning the research and what we would do with a CNC machine. I am very interested in custom signage, but I don't want to do large signs. So, at this point in time, we are dreaming and learning. Your machine looks very nice. I hope you do very well with it.

Okay... thanks for appreciations words...I hope you will make one and enjoy it...

last week i worked on scenery...So here are the pictures of it... The scenery was designed by my Wife and i carved it...The tool used is 12.5mm 60Degree V-bit with 5mm DOC/pass... It took 3.5 Hours to machine at 80IPM... The estimated time by VCARVE PRO was 3 hours and 45 minutes..that was too close

The material i used is 12mm MDF....

The scenery require finishing and colour...I called the painter today to colour it..It will take time.. I will machine a decent frame for this scenery...

A couple of days ago i designed and carved a table. The material of the table is MDF. I used 12.7 mm 60Degree tool with 80IPM..Total time of carving and cutting took 2.5Hr's..
MDF is 12.5mm thick. It looks beautiful, but i still have to stain it and give the colour of wood

Vector art designing and adjustment done by my wife and the rest of the table and its dimensions and style of legs were created by me... VCarve Pro 4.6 used for carving toolpath generation and Mach3 Quantum used as a controller software

Hmmm..I got the painting job done on the scenery....and I am pretty happy with overall outlook...Now I have to make a decent frame for it....

Currently I am involved in making some box type sitting arrangement (5' x 2' x 1.5') for one of my drawing room corner....Attached picture shows one of the many pieces under carving operation...

Designing and toolpath generation carried out in VCarve Pro 4.6...I will show the details as i am proceed in this new venture...This part is 300 x 250mm and carving time was about 56Minutes...

I love wood burning effects in the mango wood

Khalid,

That is some very nice work you are doing. Could you describe your painting/finishing process on the MDF? How do you get the wood grain effects on the material? Thanks.

Dennis

[Khalid Khattak]

Thanks Dennis basically the first two coats were undercoat especially for MDF...This retard the absorption of paint and protect it fron weather..

Then two coats of oil based paint for surface preparation..Staining the carved letter and Finally the texturing carried out with little darkish colour.... Laquer was applied after drying of paint....

Attached are some more work on panels for my sitting arrangement and the Wood is MANGO wood abundantly found here...

Few more pictures ohh..the total time for painting of scenery is approx. a week

I have one question and one suggestion
question - what are the dimensions?
Suggestion - you should start a new thread with each new project unless they are related, otherwise the threads get rather long, also it will make it easier to search through them later. just my opinion
please post a completed photo when you finish, it I would like very much to see it.
