CNC router # 3.5M VIEWS 3D carving Art Décor relief from firewood logs 

second ago · Shared publicly Having been mairried to Roger for 38 years I can say that he opened this channel for a hobby and as a result receives numerous emails from people globally asking advice on CNC routers and often personal advice on programs not to mention other emails requesting advice in general which he willingly gives. Please just take a moment and read the following : Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and error can one be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved! Let him enjoy his hobby without the negative nonsense! Constructive critisism is always helpful for not only Roger but other viewers. Trolls take delight in waking up in the mornings to see who and how they can offend. Nothing like keyboard warriors! Very brave folk hidden behind their keyboards! Continue enjoying what you are doing Roger! 

Yes, I have Robbie, if you go to my RU-vid Channel and scroll down to video number 8. You will see an example of wood turning a segment bowl, and then CNC machining of fruit in the bowl. However, the quality of video is not high resolution. As always , love your work, and thank you for watching and your comments.

I have watched so many videos on CNC woodcarvings and Roger is the only one that I have found that takes his time to explain every step by step. Roger is an inspiration to those that want to learn and want to try different hobby's. He could have said if you want my advice or my information on how to do this complex hobby please go to my "pay to learn" button. Roger doesn't do that. I thank him for that. where can you get free education to learn or be inspired to want to learn about CNC woodcarving. Like his wife Maria Webb said leave the nonsense out of it. Roger thank you so much and god bless you. I am looking into get a CNC woodcarving machine next year. by god i will do every thing i can to pick his brain on just about every thing.

Some people are complaining that this isn't art, but you have to remember that you can make your own 3D drawing for it to print. It's just another tool to turn your design into a reality, just like a 3D printer.

The 4th one of your videos I've watched tonight. I'd watch more but I lost track of time and it is now 1 am. This man is very skilled at woodworking

I like watching your videos, thank you. This one especially shows that you are not purfect (at the end) and I thought it was great, made me smile. I look forward to watch more videos.

well I love your router, at the end of the video I'd make 2 suggestions, 1.) edit out the recording Boo Boo, & 2.) spend at least 30 seconds or more showing a close up of the totally finished climber to show off detail... thanks

I go see the old timers that still do such work by hand and i showed them your vid they think your way of doing it is grate and they all thought your work was truly nice i had asked them all if they would ever give a CNC a go and was told no it took a life time to learn how to craft such things by hand and most of these men had been taught by their fathers or grandfathers and only believe in the old ways lol. I do understand that there will be people out there making comments like it's giving anyone with no real talent to make something as easy as the flip of a switch but if it does not bother men who have been doing it by hand for over *) and (0 years then it shouldn't bother anyone so good work Sir it is a nice piece.

Roger. I felt cheated at the end. I was waiting for you to zoom in & really let us see the finished product. All smooth & varnished up. I think that "And here is the finished work. closeup" would really improve your videos. Interesting, Cheers

Roger, nice piece of art! But I have been carving by hand 48 years now, and probably will not change my ways. We old folks have to cling to what we know. Again, very nice CNC!

you did a nice job - its good to see someone who '' enjoys '' creating something from nothing - God bless

Very kind and generous of you to share your knowledge with the world. I thoroughly enjoy everything you do, thank you and keep doing it!

Wow! Sooo beautiful! Great Job!!! Thank you!!!

Very nice project! You could save a bit of time and mess by first cutting the stock flat with a band saw and then milling it. Keep up the great work.

Buying a 6090 brought me here, at 53, following your path!

Hi like your video, at the end is better show the details of the art instead of the bloopers. After spending time watching the process, will be nice to appreciate the final. I learned from your tips. Thanks.

very nice piece Roger,Have you ever put some of your turned pieces on the C N C I would love to see something along that line done on it maybe a box lid or a bowl All the best Robbie

so many folks missing the point of this show, which is not how to make bits of art, but showing what this CNC router can do, in terms of ease of setup and quality of finish on a piece of low-grade wood.

Instead of commenting negatively on this mans video you should all make purposeful helpful videos yourselves.

We used to do this by hand in 1970... Nice work...

Would like to see close up of finished product.

Let us see the finished product up close!!!!!

Good money buys great tools....great tools make good money. Catch 22 :)

Just amazing. Simple, magnificent and beautiful

Wouldn't a bandsaw have saved a lot of the initial cutting away before planing?

Instead of just sealing/varnishing, would be something to use wood stains to colorize first. Anyway.....that is a neat piece. I would buy that at a craft fair.

Thank you for sharing!

Congratulations you turned a lump of firewood into a smaller lump of firewood

..where is there a shot of the finished piece?

I like it, but the stabilizing made me feel like on a cruise ship.

Wonderful! Absolutely marvelous work. I could see a whole door being done and glued together using this technology.

As a CNC machinist, I can't tell you how many times I have seen people install toe clamps with the heel lower than the toe. Nice video. I like that router too. Wish I had one!

"...a piece of aahhhhht"

Buy a battery for that clock!

Nicely done Roger, I'm with Robbie, I would love to see some of this incorporated into turning.

Awesome video, agree with the close up, loved the ball mill close up.

Question, why did you let the router cut the wood in half instead of just cutting it in half yourself?

Nice, why not split the log with a band saw and make two, a pair? or better yet split it with long blade spliter and hand carve the art work!

And this my friends is how wealth is created.

a true stroke of art

Wheres the close up, Roger? The music is lovely though!

You know ,its a nice little pece from a retired gentleman just showing what his machine can do .Why all the nastiness and venom.?

Awesome job sir. You are very much appreciated for displaying your skills and experience to some of us newbies. Thank you and God bless you and your family.

I'm so glad you didn't edit out the end! I was cracking up when your phone went off.

Why all the complaints about it not being "hand carved"? The tile mentions a CNC router. I suggest you lot pay a bit more attention to what is in the title of the video. The 2.5 million views and $8000 suggest that some of the critics may be envious Roger. I know I am :-)

Enjoyed the video. A suggestion would be to not put in the slow motion stuff. We can slow videos down on RU-vid.

It even vacuums after itself. Amazing!

Actually, this would save a lot of time roughing out a carving, similar to using a band saw to remove most of the waste material. After the roughing, a hand carver can get to the finer details. It makes sense to machine wood the way a machinist shapes metals. I like this very much!

My question is how many hours this took you to actually make?

Why didnt you just cut it in half and have 2 50$ art pieces instead of milling away half your profit?

Many People wouldn't know a CNC machine from a Table Saw. Thank you for showing your Art. I love seeing your creativity on your lathe as well as this medium. I'm a CADD student at our local Community college, and I'm learning everything it takes to Design the layouts... I watch the Second year students building with the 3D printers, and I can't wait! Our society has been built on individuals using technology to make their life better. BTW I'm studying to be an Architect.. But learning to enjoy the rest of the classes as well.

Great to see a piece of hardwood going under the CNC, I am over watching Nth hem woodworking with cheese like softwoods.

Couldn't you have cut a big chung off with a band saw first? and then rout it flat in only one or two passes?

Effortlessly turning 10 cents log into a 50 dollar piece of "art" with a 3,000 dollar machine! WOW Only if 100% manual labor was ever allowed.

Rodger that was the most beautiful 3D art project that you ever made out of that piece of wood I liked it I want every bit of the video it is so amazing that your equipment Works beautifully and cuts just wright keep on making more projects and I like this watch more of your videos and I'll keep an eye out for your videos on RU-vid Take Care from the big fan of woodworking I used to make projects to out of wood in my old workshop at my old school

Loved the video. I am weighing out options for things to keep me busy into my retirement years. Thank you for the food for thought.

I don't get all he negativity on this video, I thought the video was good, showed a nice example of the CNC process. I do agree that there should've been a final close up shot of the finished product but other than that good video, best to you.

What's wrong with people. It's just a video of a CNC machine machining a piece of wood.

Beauty!

Nicely done

Nice work but ... from a woodworker, it's a shame that people don't hand carve anymore ...

To the Meh sayers, to believe that nobody would pay $50 for this mans work is pretty arrogant considering people buy everything and anything, heck someone bought a cheese sandwich with the Virgin Mary toasted into it (I didn't see the Virgin), for ~$28,000 bucks, to say nobody would pay is foolishness.

The bloopers were hilarious

Love the ending. Still looking for the red box...

you couldnt rip the piece ona table saw? What a waste of time

excellent example of how $200 of labor can be sold for $50

Always appreciate seeing a new piece of "aht" ;)

it's so fascinating to she your works of art take shape rate in front of my eyes. love your vids

Could have got there a lot faster by chopping a chunk off that log with a band saw or a circular saw or a hand saw maybe? Would have saved a lot of wear and tear on your CNC and the cutter. The vid would have been shorter too. Always use a piece of material which is close to the size you need.

you destroyed a nice burning log .

I don't comment if i don't heve anything nice to say but although some time and effort was put into this and it looks very nice i can't in all honesty call it art . There are people who do this sort of thing by hand and that is art.

Great demo - looks like a fine piece!

I don't know,but....there's no life in the final product.....that's what I feel.

What do you need to turn a $.10 log into a $50 3D art decor? Only a $50,000 machinery!

Good job,

Human beings must still be evolving because some of you have evolved into real cvnts. If you want to see hand carved woodwork then why seek out this video. It clearly says CNC in the title. Great job Roger. I would buy your creation any day of the week and twice on a Sunday. Where I come from we have a name for people like those who criticize you but cant do better.............."doos"

It looks cool and everything but i feel sorry for the person who is going to pay 50$ for this.

If it was all by hand it would be impressive . But it's all just a programme put into a machine .

Keep up the great work Roger. Don’t change a thing you are fantastic 👍😃

beautiful

By utilising ancient technology often referred to as 'a saw' you could probably have made 2 of those out of your log, nice work though

its a nice piece.....these bozos are just jealous because they don't have the 13,000 cnc machine.

Hello Roger, fellow Roger here. Good to see another proper Roger with no d. I love your videos and the attention to detail, keep them coming sir.

Super

Now it is a $ 0.07 log... Complete junk...

Click bait, you have been warned.

A very nice piece of CNC art.

I like the money calculation in the desrcibtion :-)

sorry for saying this but i don`t think its art and if i know that was made with cnc i newer buy it. because for me hand made its looks better then made with cnc.

Wow, so much hate. It's like the "artists" in the crowd feel like Roger is stealing food off of their tables! Look, artists, what's the difference between using a computer software as a medium (paint programs, 3D graphic software, etc) vs any other kinds of medium!? I've seen old car part sculptures that guys with a welder stick together in a particular shape that approximates something in the real world and nobody has a problem calling it "art". They didn't MAKE the car parts, they didn't design the fasteners or the welder used to stick it together and yet it's art! What if Roger takes 40 hours to painstakingly design an intricate 3D model and then spends another 10 setting the machine and software up to cut it out? He's suddenly just a hack because HIS medium of choice is something you don't understand and produces the model with machine accuracy? The only difference in my mind is the technology used to create the output. A sculptor can reproduce as many wax models as he/she cares to mold and then crank them out at the foundry. It just takes longer but it's no different other than being performed completely in the physical world. The "artist" that creates the wax model rarely ever creates the actual metal output. That task is performed by skilled technicians that understand metal molding in a foundry... just another technology designed to mass-produce items. Does that fact make them NOT artists simply because they didn't sit there and carve the metal statue out of bronze? Give the man a break. Nice work Roger, ignore those wankers.

Cool

Well that sure takes the hand crafted out of it.

If this is his thing, okay. I wish i could hang out in my garage all day, watch a really expensive machine do what it does, and earn $7k. Am I impressed? Not really. Now if he had taken a set of chisels and a hammer and created the piece yeah I would be impressed. Did I do anything impressive today?...no. So, no judgement. Keep on earning your money however you can man. Congrats on all those views.

what a waste of lumber, and a whole lot of saw dust for nothing... you should have cut the log in half, saved a lot of time and effort, thus increasing profits and productivity, you would have two pieces of wood to work with instead of one! plus now people know, when they say something is hand carved = they are lying! a fine example of what NOT to do, recorded on video for all the world to see!

the last minute of this video is incredible

Good work! I can watch machines like that all day! The router is the art to my eyes! And the log looks great to of course! 😊

That thing cheats art. Its a reproduction, or copy of art.

Oh, I thought he was actually going to DO something, not program a machine and let IT do the carving. Somewhat disappointed.

Good one

Awesome!!
