Finished testing toolpaths on the New Perspectives #Bass kit. Only broke two 0.024” carbide end mills dialing in the feeds and speeds. Next up is processing the hardwood for the final version. The body will come out of the slab behind the prototype. #maker #pghmaker #diy #luthier #cnc #cncrouter #xcarve #wood #woodworking #luthier #bassguitar #empireofdust

More testing for the New Perspectives Music #bass kit. I got the toolpaths working to cut the neck on the diagonal on my Inventables 1000mm #xcarve. Test finger board next, then do it all again in good #wood. #maker #pghmaker #diy #woodworking #luthier #cncrouter #bassguitar #gizmosity #empireofdust

I decided to take a break on the tiny house build this past weekend instead I finished up my new x-carve table so I can get that back in action!

Due to the amount of space this monster takes up I decided I wanted to be able to fold it down to take up less space. Now it only sticks out 31in from the wall when collapsed and I can roll it out on the workshop deck in nice weather, a real bonus since it produces a ton of dust when running..even with a vacuum running!

No project is really complete without failures—and boy this one's had a few. I was over 80% of the way through this cut, and the stock jogged out of the workholding. Swearing ensued. #MakeSomething #CNCMill #XCarve

Well, I've got most of the weirdnesses ironed out regarding using my #xcarve with the #chrome #gcode sender app. Unfortunately I managed to break both my 1/32 #endmills , which are the only ones fine enough to do what I'm working on. So, my #dopaminebox is on hold. #grrrr... now it's off to #Amazon to buy more... #2023 #creating #helpyourfutureself #blaidddrwg

Anybody have experience driving 1m^2 #arduino #gshield #xcarve using the #gcode sender #chrome #webapp ? I thought that because it was #gbrl it'd be pretty straightforward but it's being weird AF. I'd really like to get this (and all) the #cnc devices we'll be using driven off of a #chromebox ...

More #introduction content. Here are a few examples of some of my CNC work. The @makemagazine Makey is painted MDF as are the others. Empire Of Dust is how I refer to my shop with apologies to YouTuber AvE. The @NASA Apollo 11 plaque was made in honor of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. The Once on This Island sign was made for my kid who had a nice role in a summer camp production.

@dchitt and I are turning our garage into a #workshop / #makerspace, and I'm building a computer to drive the #xcarve we have and the #3dprinter (and, eventually 🤞🏻) #lasercutter we're going to get. So... what do I name this machine?

...or do y'all have a better idea? 🙂

Hey, my fellow #maker #nerds. We're looking at getting a #3dprinter to go with our #xcarve router... we're leaning towards an enclosed model to better control temperature, and I'd like it to run #GRBL (though all small scale CNC might, I'm not sure). Any recommendations?

Figured out how to use our #xcarve #cnc router with ChromeOS. Pretty excited about that, honestly. 🙂
