I've been looking at hobby grade cnc routers but looking at prices especially nowadays I've decided to build my own. I've purchased enough parts for a 4x4 foot cutting capacity cnc router. I'll be using 2x3 square steel tube 3/16 thick for the x and y axis and a 2x6 inch steel square tube also 3/16 thick for the z axis. A 1.5kw square air cooled spindle liear square block guides with their respective ball screws on all axis. Nema 23 closed loop steppers and a ESP32 microcontroller running a version of grblhal. I'll use inkscape for my cad and grblgru for my cam. This is the cheapest route for a decent router that is rigid enough for the best accuracy and speed for the money. Thanks for the video. More reason to build my own.
I’m new to your cnannel and you had me at B. Franklin quote” you’ll learn more from your failures than you do from your successes” I’ve watched your hidden bookcase video and I have finally found a DIY RU-vidr who does things exactly the way I do(no plans. Learn as you go)👍ADHDDIYER😬
Did you have feelings of revent on this one? The one you found is pretty cool to be fair, but we learned that you can make one, if needed. You got us all covered! 😂
What is an amazing trip. We were locked in for the whole thing. Sharks, puffins and lambs oh my. The Yoda cave was pretty cool. So much hiking though, did you prep for this trip? Is it wrong that we wanted burgundy to fall?
YAY!!! Don't forget about the whale and there was also an unrecorded Reindeer :) Rudolph tastes delicious also! Oh yes, lots of hiking and lots of prep! Planning started back in January and there were places that were already booked up since the main travel season there is so short. It's very very right that you wanted burgundy to fall, means you're my kind of Hewmans!
@@HewmanMade hahaha in the words of fat Amy…better not. Your facial expression didn’t quite sell me on the chewy gasoline. Haha also, I would like to add I was blown away by your puns of view. 5/5 stars.
I cannot fathom how this has so little views. Although I know little about woodwork itself, I can confidently say that your pagoda could serve as a beautiful addition in a traditional Japanese garden. (Or any other pretty setting haha) What an amazing build!
Aww thank you! Well, I did just release the video and sometimes it takes a little while for it to gain momentum. But I also have a small channel and lots of people don't have the attention span for a 30 min long video these days 🥲
Just a heads up, that symbol on the plastic does not mean it’s recyclable. It is the Resin Identification Code (RID) and should have a number in the center. Plastics recycling is a huge scam, and the RID was meant to confuse consumers into thinking any plastic with that symbol meant it is recyclable.
Remember this: it's never a failure if you learn from it. 😉 Also, every time you try a new skill you are succeeding because you are improving...or at least, you should be 😉
yknow this may have not turned out how ya wanted but i think it still *looks* incredible. I would gladly and proudly display something like that on my desk or shelf, or use it on my table. i'm not sure if its food safe resin, but it could also be really fun to use on a plate with cheese and bread or something like that, holding a bit of honey? point is, you should be proud
You're very kind. And I am proud with how it turned out, it just wasn't what I'd imagined in my head. It does currently sit on my desk holding a set of dice
For the handle I just wrapped it around and cut it slightly oversized. Then trim it down to fit. Some things you're able to measure out, but others you just have to work with it on the fly and adjust the size as you go
@@longsword114 lol that is the difficult thing, for your first month or two. Eventually you get to a point you just grab leather and eyeball everything, it's wild. I don't even keep patterns around now I just throw stuff down and freehand make everything and it turns out good, you'll get there quick
I'm always hesitant with new finishes, I think it's an art in itself being able to put them on nice and smooth. I'm really happy with how this turned out and I can tell its going to be super durable!
Hey. Thanks so much for the plans and parts list. I made my own and it looks great. A gift for my dad. Now I’m planning for the next one. I think it’s going to be a cat with a tail light
The bricks are reasonably priced. But that store's price for the walnut stock was highway robbery! Also, quick question: When you are batching these out, do you leave them all together in the stock and machine both sides before cutting them out?
Considering it was S2S 8/4 walnut, the price was actually very reasonable for where I live. 4/4 rough stock goes anywhere from $13-$18/bdft, 8/4 is $20-$25 depending on grade. To answer your question, no. There's a few different ways I'll batch out depending on the day. I'll either do top of one brick then bottom of one brick and repeat so I can process each brick as the next is being fully carved out, like I mentioned in the video. Or I'll carve all the tops in one block, cut them out and carve all the bottoms one after another.
I do, it's just not a standard option as the shipping prices can change quite a bit. If you want to send me an email we can chat get an order processed. hewmanmade@gmail.com
Thanks. Personally I dislike when every video I watch on RU-vid is people asking and begging for your subscription. I've turned off videos when in the first 10 seconds the first thing the person says is make sure to LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE - now let's get into it. Why would I do those things when I have no idea if I like the content you're putting out. Anyone who consumes youtube content knows that you can subscribe to someone's channel if you like their content. If people watch to the end of my video and are paying attention they'll see the text saying 'please consider subscribing', because I want people to think about subscribing before they actually do. I do appreciate your viewpoint, even if I disagree. And I truly hope you enjoy the past content I've put out and what I have planned for the future.
@@HewmanMade Oh no, I am absolutely on the same level as you, or maybe very close. You dislike - I hate ;) But even at the end it may increase the chances of subscribing. I'm stupid i know keep the other comments for yourself haha.
@@crafttobasic No, no, not stupid at all. Different things work for different people and sometimes folks haven't thought about that viewpoint or perspective. :)
