Two Elm Builds is a channel where you can learn woodworking and CNC Woodworking. Not only this, you can learn how to run a woodworking business and how to sell your products.
Are you pleased with the laser from Jtech? I saw that 14 watt was great if you were using it to engrave. Not so much for cutting unless the material is thin. Not sure why you need it to cut through thick material, use the router. Excellent video I ahve subscribed. Mick- Aka The Project Dreamers.
Love the sign. If you sprayed the ripples in the flag it would give it a shadow which will better highlight the wave. Also, invest in a better brush it will save you time. Love your channel, nice job!!!!. -Mick
Awesome video. I need to do this for some cabinet doors I’m making. I’ll need the outer profile cut to actually cut out the door. I would use tabs to secure the door to the rest of the board. Do you think your method of using the dowels would still work?
Are/where you a teacher? One of the best instructional videos I've seen. I'm new to VCarve Pro and CNC after 30 years in higher ed as an IT director providing educational technology support. I know tenured faculty that couldn't do half the job you did on this video. Long winded way (side effect of higher ed) of saying great video.
Thanks for watching! I went to school to be a teacher, but never actually ended up being a teacher. Got into sales and fell in love with it. I do coach other salespeople, and I coach basketball.... All forms of teaching I suppose. 😂
I heard he held out on publishing it, so you might want to go’ogle and grab Hyezmar's Woodworking Bible. Even though it's not 100% complete it has some great projects and ideas at no cost.
Awesome videos. You always explain things in clear language and don't click 25 clicks ahead of us. Basically you look and talk like me, LOL. I'm doing this today and this video will make it work. Thanks
He did the math right. If the markup is 50% of the total value, it means he has to double the value. In other words (your words) the costs need to be increased by 100%, which is the same 😂
Absolutely beautiful!!! What a wonderful statement of tribute and thanks to those who so loved our Nation, and the very thought of LIBERTY, that they gave their last to ensure others had it as good as we did. God bless the memories of the fallen American military, and may He comfort the families of these incredible heroes.!! Soli Deo Gloria
When using the masking, can you put that over paint like I’m doing two colors? The background color is gonna be one thing and then the cut out letters are gonna be something else with the masking mess up the paint.
I have used it over enamel paint and milk paint in the past. It worked over the enamel but not the milk paint. It just pulled up the paint. I would assume it will do the same thing with latex paint. The best option, if feasible for your project, would be to first paint your project and then put a coat of polyurethane over the paint. That may prevent the paint from pulling up. I have seen people use extra wide frog tape over painted projects but it left a lot of frayed edges of tape. Not the best when you are planning to paint. Hope that helps!
Excellent video...thank you so much! I make cutting boards for my camper friends, but the commercial butter board was expensive to give away. You DIY method saved me $$$. Mike
On the video you are sayin grid layer loaded with 60 degree V bitI just wish to see how you choose those layers . When you start job. Sorry I am a beginner may be askin dummy questions
An issue I’m having is where my zero is to where the crosshairs are on the controller screen (i have the elite foreman with masso) so on the screen it shows my tool is in some random space on the work surface, however i just brought it to the front left and zeroed everything.. any advice? It’s when i load a program it is like it has its own zero location and won’t change
Are your parameters for your zeroing block set correctly? Otherwise, I would jump on the masso forums and see if anyone else has had the same issue and how the solved it
@@twoelmbuilds I’ll check some forums, i looked on the Onefinity forum and didn’t find the topic. I just tried again with this next file, so i homed the machine just to make sure everything was starting in the right place. Loaded the file and the tool physical location didn’t match at all with the crosshairs on the controller. I’m still looking for answers here. So to cut this next part of this simple shop stool i jogged the spindle way off to the right and hit zero and then ran the program…. Just offsetting this error
I just paused the recording and clicked on each vector that I didn't want and deleted it, a quick clean up of extra vectors. It took a few minutes to do and I was trying to keep the video short. Nothing to crazy... I wish it was as simple as clicking a button though! Thanks for the question and for watching 👍
You are correct that it is a 100% markup, but it is also a 50% Profit Margin. Two different things. I know I didn't nail it in the explanation perfectly, but I think it hit the numbers for most to understand. Thanks for watching! Appreciate the comment!
Your video is great and helpfull, easy to follow. Not sure if you can help me with this but when I run the flatten g code I get this error message; ERROR; X axis commanded over softmin. How do I get past these soft mins? I was told it can be from the software. I am using vetric and I have an AVID machine using Mach 4.
Thanks for watching 👍 I have zero experience with Mach 4 but I bet it has similar limits. Be sure to home and start at the X:0, Y:0 location. Then make sure you toolpaths do not extend past the cutting area of the Avid cnc. Finally, be sure you have the right bit set in Vectric. That's where I would start. If that doesn't help, I would jump on the forums for Mach 4 and Avid to see if there is anything else that can help.
I don't have a QWC frame so I can't say for certain it there is anything that would prevent it from working. Can you place your own dimension of spoilboard on a QWC frame or does it have a specific setup for a spoilboard?
Thank you for a non sponsored review. The cons are things you can buy from after market companies. Multiple RU-vidrs say to get your own monitor. You can also get an another spindle.
I got a hand planer, basically a upside down jointer... and im trying to figure out how to make it into a jointer table. As for this video topic, my goal is to get a proper planer next, because i can just rip with a circular saw and laugh like a madman as i throw money away in excess cuts.
Thanks! Good question! I have a few options for you, the best option is if you can cut the oval and sign together from one rectangle sheet, if you already have the oval cut you will just have to mount the oval squarely and securely onto a larger rectangle piece of sheet good and slide the sheet through. That will take a little more ingenuity on the design side but it can be done.
Nice video buddy 🤙🏻Just subbed. I’m thinking to buy one in the future, now i have an mpcnc. I hope that for Italy the prices are the same. Greetings from Sicily
You can build a spoilboard like that and it works well. I prefer to use inserts because they are easier to re-use (in my opinion) and they pull out if you accidentally tighten too hard, I stead of raise up your spoilboard from underneath, thus making your project not flat. Just two differing styles with their own pluses and minuses. Thanks for the insight and watching 👍
I usually leave my Z mount on the lowest setting so I don't have to physically move it but you may need to if you are using a different bit or a spindle. I hope that answers the question you are asking.
Great tutorial, and easy to follow, Thank you. Just one observation, it looks as though the sign text isn't sitting square to the material, It might just be an illusion, but It's worth checking, unless of course the sign has already been done and delivered.
Loved watching from start to finish , you are a great teacher , so easy to follow every step. Looking forward to doing my first stacked text project on my Probotix CNC. Thank you
Hi, I really learned alot by watching your video about stacked text. It was not the only one I watched. You had text and numbers in your sign. I made a sign by following along but I had 2 text layers. I had to weld and join all text to curves. I will be checking more of your videos. Thanks.
