How to Make Halloween Lanterns on the CNC 

You can also move tabs from one section to another by dragging it. You could have move one of the two from the mouth cut out

Nice! FWIW, a 1/8" compression bit is my preferred solution to tabs... In fact, you can make your 1st toolpath trace ON the lines w/ a 90° Vbit or a 1/8" roundover/form bit (DOC 0.11") to pre-finish the edges, then cut inside the lines of the face parts and leaving the pre-softened edges🍺🎃👍

Awesome! Thank you for your service. I appreciate you watching my videos. Thank you

Awesome!

Glad you like them! You're welcome

Awesome! Thank you very much.

My pleasure. I’m so glad that it helped you

Thank you for the information

Awesome!

You're welcome. You get to visit my shop on each and every video that I do along with 1000's of others and I welcome all. Thank you very much.

You are so welcome!

You are welcome!

Thank you very much.

Thank you

You're very welcome!

You’re welcome. Thank you for watching

Thank you very much. Yes, I did a shop tour. I may need to do another one because I am constantly changing the shop.

Thank you so very much

If you are only making one or two you are correct, but if you want to batch a bunch out to sell then it’s a lot quicker and more precise with the CNC

Yes you do. Just remember you can make these without a CNC

Thanks for watching! This channel is all about woodworking and CNC. It would be hard to have this channel without the necessary tools.

You can print them out and use a Dremel tool, a copping saw, or a scroll saw. Size in in another program attach it to the board and cut.

These little tea lite can be found everywhere. Dollar stores, Walmart, hobby lobby and so many more places.

Glad you enjoyed! Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

You’re welcome

I will check it out. Thank you very much.

We use compression bits all the time and they work great!

I need to order some. Thank you

Thank you very much!

Thanks!

Fantastic. Hope you can make some.

The Vasto by FoxAlien is a smaller machine. I have a link in the description. Thanks for watching

Google search is what I used. I’ll see if I can find the faces again. Thanks for watching

@@PawPawsWorkShop Thank you so much. 😊

Just use a jig saw or a scroll saw

Thank you very much and welcome to my channel. I use primarily three CNC machines. The XCarve by Inventables, the New Carve by CNC4NEWBIE and the VASTO by FOXAlien. All three are excellent machines and are used in my shop all the time. The software is the Easel which comes with Inventables. You can use it for the other machines as well. I chose to use VCarve Pro by Vectric. For the controller I use UGS (Universal Gcode Sender) or the Openbuilds controller. Both are free. These are not necessary with easel as it is built into the software.

I had to look it up, because I had never even thought about it. If you have overlapping closed paths, the results will be different for Union versus Combine. If not overlapping, then there's no difference. There can also be differences with the behaviour of Combine itself, depending on the direction of paths. The example pictures that went along with it made it look like the overlapping pieces are joined together and one of them keeps the lines in the overlapped section and one doesn't. Now I have to go play with it to see.

Outstanding, thank you very much.

@@SimplySellers202 thank you for checking that out for me.

Thank you for you concern

If you change bits then yes you must z probe

This is the JTechPhotonics 7 watt laser.

I actually use both. For wood and if using masking use a down cut bit. For acrylic use an up cut to get the chips up and out of the way

@@PawPawsWorkShop And the size of bit?

Thank you very much

Yes, I have a number of videos that I have used round projects. The key is to use stops on both axis and use the x,y,0 in the center of the project. It keeps everything perfectly centered and it also makes changing out the projects easy because of the stops. They act like registration points.

@@PawPawsWorkShop perfect. I have a few that I will be working with today and I will give it a try. Thank you sooo much!!

You're welcome

Thank you. All you need to do break apart the pieces and you will get tabs on each piece.

I built my own table. Take a look at my videos on building it.

These were unfinished. You can finish with all the above. If using outdoors then us a UV protective coat of finish.

@@PawPawsWorkShop great! Do you recommend a sanding sealer before finishing cedar wood?

Yes

Thank you very much. The clamps are my design and have been shared on the Inventables project page. Look for the link in the description. The exploder app is in Easel. Look on the menu on the left side of the screen and you will see the app icon. Click on it and it will open up a window with many different apps.

Thank you very much. My classroom is the workshop and everyone is invited in through my videos.

Just use a jig saw. Get the patterns from google search.

They are just the little small LED tealight. You can pick them up at any big box store or dollar store.

@@PawPawsWorkShop Thanks!

You're welcome

You can download the image and trace it onto a board, use a jigsaw or scroll saw to cut them out.

Thank you

I will be making some this year for Christmas.

In the Halloween section of the craft stores and even Walmart

I have two, one is the XCarve 1000mm and the other is the CNC4Newbie New Carve. It also is a 1000mm

What's the need for two? Will one of them not do what the other won't? Im inexperienced in purchasing these so im trying to make the best decision! I want the best or in other words one that I can say, yes my machine can do it without question

@@davidbrinkley4710 I will try and answer the question you asked, I have been following Phillip for a long time and he was one of the reasons that I purchased the X-Carve, he made everything look simple and he explained it where I could understand. Phillip has had the X-Carve for about 3 years and has made a bunch of videos on how to use it. The X-Carve is a good machine and easy to use with the Easel software. The extra machine that he has is very similiar to the XCarve except that its a much stronger machine. I follow the forum on the XCarve site and also on Facebook and have always heard about CNC4Newbies upgrade equipment and how good it was. So when it came time for me to upgrade my XCarve I went with CNC4Newbies and my machine is similiar to what PawPaw uses. If I were starting out I would go with the CNC4Newbies NewCarve, its a stronger machine and you wont need to upgrade. You asked Will one of them not do what the other won't? They can both do the same thing except the NewCarve can do it faster and give you a better quality product. The NewCarve has been out for over a year and I don't think I have seen one bad review on it or anything negative about it. The company took the simplicity of the XCarve and made it better. Its not a right out the box plug it in machine "neither is the XCarve", you will have to understand what you are doing but that experience will make you a better craftsman. CNC4Newbies has a facebook page where you can ask questions about different things. Whatever you decide just have patience, you will get frustrated and wonder why you ever bought it and be ready to cuss someone out. Calm down and read the different threads on what people said and ask questions. It will take some time to get good at any machine that you purchase.

Thanks Russell! Will it carve like thick wooden doors for homes?

@@davidbrinkley4710 I just took a quick measurement on mine and I have a 4.5" clearance and you can put something up to 37" wide by whatever length you want. So sure it would carve thick wooded doors for homes. What exactly are you wanting to do? I hate to carry on a conversation on PawPaw's channel, text me at 985-290-0572 Thanks

Use could use either term. It is commonly referred to as carving when using the cnc with this type of wood carving tools.

Thank you very much for your concern. I appreciate it very much

@@PawPawsWorkShop These really came out nice. Looking forward to more videos :)
