An Unnecessarily Heavy Box w/ Epoxy & Aluminum Honeycomb Accents

Last year I was commissioned to create a gift for an engineer. Here's what I knew: He was an aviation geek, hexagon lover, and (almost hypocritically) a connoisseur of horrendously over-engineered designs. This is the story of how I designed a wildly impractical box.
Blending typical woodworking techniques for making a box with some composite materials (aluminum honeycomb and epoxy), I came up with a design that both looked cool and felt substantial in hand.

Not at all surprised to detect a fondness for CGP Grey's content. Hexagons really are bestagons!

@nicholassels7411 2 года назад

literally scrolled down to Type "hexagons are the bestagons" and as soon as I started to type he said it and I was delighted.

@misterforest6574 2 года назад

For future reference, if you use a thicker board and resaw down the middle. Then, cut the 2 boards into thirds. You will be able to have a close wrapping grain pattern.

@kipsimpson2332 2 года назад

I was wondering if someone would share this. I knew there was a clever way to do it involving resawing but could not remember specifics. Thank you for this comment.

Hexagons are the bestagons! Also, I LOVE that you left the texture on that epoxy honeycomb, in my usual obsession with making everything as linear as possible, I likely would've machined off that texture, but the piece is so much better with it. It almost adds an organic quality to it that really gives it character.

frigates are beautiful not matter if bird or boat and so is this box nice work!

For every 100 or so videos the algorithm throws my way, I usually get only 1 that piques my interest, very happy to have this be the 1% for this month! Absolutely love the dimpled finish you got on the honeycomb/epoxy!

@Thoron_of_Neto 2 года назад

As someone who works in the aviation industry (technician, not engineer) I loved watching this unfold, and would honestly be over the moon if someone had something like this made for me. Very amazing project, just found your channel!

@BreakingTaps 2 года назад

Hexagons are the bestagons! Beautiful project, cheers for sharing! That honeycomb came out really great. It added a lot of interest to the piece and really transformed it from "meh box" to "wow look at that box!". Great work as always :)

@tjiani111 2 года назад

Hexagons ate the bestagons!

@ddegn 2 года назад

You are what you eat.

@ajfinewoodworks3050 2 года назад

Very nicely done! I loved the texture of the honeycomb. It's been said before, and I agree with Mister Forest, the resaw down the middle trick will get you grain matched around the entire box.

@grumpywoodchucker Год назад

That epoxy-filled, honeycomb is absolutely stunning. Great idea.

@kipsimpson2332 2 года назад

This looks sharp. Nicely done. Thank you for sharing the mistakes. You probably spared others from future frustration which is pretty righteous.

@42Pursuit 2 года назад

Gorgeous project with excellent execution. And hexagons! I learn something on every video of yours I watch, and I always come away with inspiration to do things in ways I hadn't thought of before. Thanks for these top notch videos 👍

@woogaloo 2 года назад

Absolutely gorgeous! Hexagons are awesome. I know you wanted it more opaque, but that was really nice how it was - just enough to see through, but not all the way. The frigate birds were a nice touch.

@MikesTropicalTech 2 года назад

Fantastic design and execution, bravo Winston!

@ssWinni 2 года назад

I love these build videos! Great content and outstanding work! You can Use a box fan to help the curb exothermic reaction on the epoxy, just place it on one side it’ll help. And use the straw trick to get glue and export squeeze out in corners

@evilutionltd 2 года назад

Amazing. The only thing I would add would be a hinge for the lid and a chain stay to hold the lid in the open position. Ohh and obviously an internal LED to shine through the honeycomb.

@Kultainenlohikaarme 2 года назад

Winston, your channel is by far my favorite CNC channel! The way you bring things to a point without being too CNC-geeky* is just great! I sorely miss your longer and more detailed video formats of old, though. Please make more of those again and generally, please make more videos! You can put as much Carbite 3D pitching in there as you (or they) like - as long as you make videos :D. *like e.g. NYC-CNC. Great channel, but somewhat stressful for a beginner/hobbyist whose native language is not English. Have to stop their videos every 5 mins to look up some CNC expressions...

oh that aluminum honeycomb brings back memories. I was an aircraft mechanic in the Airforce and i was ordering a replacement latrine door and to my surprise they wanted $10000 for one. Ya thats five zeros after the one....... WOW.

Very cool! I'm shocked you used totalboat instead of the multiple other choices that are actually deep Pour resins. Total boat is a bit dated. There are resins out there than can do 4".

@shunt6228 2 года назад

As another engineer, this box resonates with me on so many levels And im guessing y’all are too far away for it to be practical for me to try and order one lol

@phillipstephenson1597 2 года назад

cool but would have like to see the blue epoxy and honey come continued into the lid.

@jasonkoth8593 2 года назад

How would you create both tool paths; one for the miters and the other for the edge chamfer in carbide create?

@WinstonMakes 2 года назад

You would need to do the math (basic trig) to figure out how far to radially offset a contour to follow, and also how deep to have a V-bit go.

@LucasHartmann 2 года назад

You CAN make the wood grain wrap all around. Your way looks way cooler, though.

@marcus_w0 2 года назад

I see you whipping around those perfect pieces of aluminum honeycomb... where did you get those? I'm searching my ass of for it and it seems to be quite impossible to get them in "normal" sizes for a decent price.

@mingyanglu8679 Год назад

does anyone know how he does it to make the dimension lines green in fusion?

@WinstonMakes Год назад

Green lines usually denote “fixed” lines. Right click on a sketch line and select “fix/unfix”.

@automan1223 2 года назад

many epoxies have an etchant you can order to improve bonding to aluminum and certain metals. Consult your epoxy seller.

@joshuavincent7884 2 года назад

Nice but Im surprised you didnt machine the honeycomb yourself
