It's a shame you havent posted any videos recently, you are a great craftsman and you explain your process, not alot of people can or even will do that. Just keep em' coming and try to get some advertisements man, you're a great guy! Dont stop!
Yes, excellent, thank you! This seems MUCH easier and obviously more accurate than the old grid method i had been considering! Thanks again, I've been waiting for this one!!!
Obi’s Crafts N Stuff my projector should be arriving tomorrow just in time for a 3 day weekend, now i have to try to track down some large sheets of paper, I'm thinking maybe a butcher shop?
I use rolls of paper when I trace stuff out. I get mine at Pat Catan’s near me. I’d say most craft stores would have it. Lowe’s even carry’s rolls of brown paper as well.
dude!! I ´ve been thinking of making one of these for a while and now I stumbled onto the exact thing on you channel. Well made man! and a very informative video,.I`m probably going to go the cnc route for the cutting of the skeleton, and then router, sand and finish it by hand. The plan is to make these a puzzle for preschoolers, and matching each vertibrae to the spina with a unique symbol. Thanks fro making this awesome video!
@@zackoblinger7596 , I´m planning on making 2 versions, a big one using the cnc and then a small version with bandsaw and projectormethod like you showed. one question though, why nog project directly onto the plywood and trace it? what was the reason for projecting and tracing on paper and transferring that to your material? thanks obi!
The tracing paper was used just because it’s much lighter than the poster board to tape to the wall. Poster board was used for longevity and the thickness gives a better edge to trace.
I happen to have a very rare extra-large wooden Plesiosaurus skeleton from the 80's/90's made by a company called Small World Toys and sadly, it had a tragic accident after hanging from my ceiling for 20 years. But I stored the pieces in a box figuring one day I would try to repair it. It's mostly intact so would you like to reverse engineer it? They will probably never be made again. It's extinct like the dinosaurs. I thought of applying wet toilet paper to the joints and soften the wood glue to dismantle the parts.
Looks like makecnc has a file for that. Not sure if it is the same or not. May be easier to make a new one rather than trying to get that one apart if it’s been glued
@@zackoblinger7596 You can tell it apart from the common smaller version because the fins have three "fingers" instead of being like paddles, and a hella ton of ribs. Where can I see this file?
@@zackoblinger7596 I think finding this file may be a lost cause. You can see it in on the back of the package in the upper left corner... www.ebay.com/i/221438535454?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=221438535454&targetid=885732117796&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9004487&poi=&campaignid=9343998933&mkgroupid=100238949571&rlsatarget=aud-622524042478:pla-885732117796&abcId=1139336&merchantid=8552494&gclid=Cj0KCQjwncT1BRDhARIsAOQF9Lk_-BTqDHtLgYotBRC0Frv-Y26UOUjN-IVyk6tt5yBSWNpPaEB_F8oaAqX4EALw_wcB
