Thread: Work we produce

    I used ArtCAM 2010 to design both. It's just vectors, and then you use the "engrave" funtion when setting up your toolpaths. No need to even create a relief. This is why it's so fast. It just makes a few passes up and down the corners, and it's done...

    I just used an 1-1/2" diameter, 90° V-bit in the way of tooling. It uses off the shelf carbide inserts too, which makes it much cheaper than solid carbide...

    You could just use the smaller and cheaper 1/2" brazed 90° V-bit if you didn't want to spend much money.

  2. Here is a carbon fiber version of my violin in 3D, I guess tooling would be expensive and the labor to build in composit, it would sound good as you could build it with very thin walls.

    Here is the pre vis of the violin in 3D with some carbon textures added to the cad just for fun.

    It would be difficult to tell, particularly at a first glance, that the image above was a render... CG has really improved the last 10 years.

    simple bench

    I did this for a designer in NY city for one of his clients.

    He sent me a rough sketch similar to this and I brought it to life for him.

    I started with a 1.75x17x125 slab of red oak and milled it down to 1.5 thick

    I had a local metal guy make the welded parts for me.

    I used my camaster to create a strait line on the front edge before I ripped it to width on the table saw.

    I then milled down the leg stock to 1.5x1.5 to use to cover the metal leg structure. I again used the camaster to pocket out the leg material to fit over the legs.
    I also used old cammmy to pocket for the mounting brackets on the underside of the bench.

    Finished dims 120L x 12d x 18t with 3 coats of Waterlox tung oil finish applied.

    Thanks for looking!!
    Nick

    Nothing like most work here, but I love what I do. This is my first post. I cannot believe I just found this site yesterday. So far, love it.

    Spalted Sycamore laminated 22 rimfire stock for benchrest competition

    Hard Maple with Blistered figure using an automotive clearcoat finish.
    I wish I could find 1000 bd ft of this quality wood, and be able to afford it.

    This was my first attempt at building a guitar.
