Thin Spoon

Wooden Spoon

Milled a walnut spoon on the 4 axis. This spoon is way too thin to be much use to anyone. So thin I lost a few during the milling process.

Vacuum Former/CNC Mill

Sunday, December 6th, 2020

I’ve been working on combining a vacuum former and a CNC. The goal is that the machine can mill the buck, form the plastic shell, and then mill the shell — all in one. The hope is that some interesting parts can be created with the machine.

I’m still in early stages and the rig is basically a Frankenstein build of various kits, but I think it’s starting to go somewhere.

CNC Jig for Slots

My latest tin can toy is based on Galactus. The main feature are the antennas on the side of the helmet. And the parts that connect the antenna fins to the head turned out to be the trickiest pieces. I made a jig for the mill so I could slot the aluminum. Then I turned them to the correct size on the lathe.

I CNC’d some acrylic on the 4 axis into lens like shapes. After a polish on the buffing wheel, they actually worked.

Walnut Caster Car

Made a fun little walnut Caster Car. Everything was CNC’d on the Bantam mill then sandwiched together.

CNC’d another cheese board. This time in walnut.

Deceptively Difficult Part

Tuesday, January 7th, 2020

This walnut part was deceptively difficult to wrap my head around. Perfect part for the 4-axis though.

I CNC’d a simple cheese board out of some mystery scrap, then routed the edges round. I don’t even like cheese all that much.
