wow, it's crazy how that bird got stuck in there. glad you were able to get it out!
I wonder if it survived
It's easy; you just cut away everything that doesn't look like a bird.
Michaelangelo said his sculptures were always there inside the stone. All he had to do was get them out.
@@davidelliott5843 wow... He's a super hero! Saving all those people... Incredible.
this is how they find dinosaurs
I toured the Philippines back in the 80's, and they produced many beautiful hand-carved creations...I purchased several pieces.
Pleasure to watch, reminds me of my dads workshop and as a boy annoying him while he was making things
Absolutely gorgeous and an enjoyable tutorial! ❤️❤️❤️
I wish we were neighbors/friends since I could learn a tremendous amount from you on many different topics. Will have to settle for the videos that are quite nice.
I dunno how I ended up here but I could watch a CNC router all day.
Brill Fella' Just Brill!. I will be looking for one of those eagles to make a mould for my Aluminum Casting.
I don't know how I got here but I am happy to be here. I've always imagined that when someone reaches a certain age they shouldn't stop producing, instead of this, keeping a certain kind of activity is the way to stay alive. Most people who get retired just eat, drink and sleep. some traveling and visitings and is waiting for the dying day to come. You are an example to follow. I respect you and I would like to be just like you when I get retired. We need many people like you to enrich our lives and teach us that life goes on, even when the system takes us out of the scene. Thank you so much for your life example. And as if that weren't enough, the final song of the video is my favorite from the youtube library "Must be something" 25:24. God bless you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Sorry for my english☹
Great video! A little tip on setting tool offsets... never measure from the top of your work, always measure from the table or fixture using a standard height block. It can be any height, as long as long as you know what it is. Then measure the delta between your tool reference and your workpiece reference. This way if you machine off the top of your workpiece and you need to change/replace a tool mid-cut you still have your datum.
Great tip!
For your clean up after cutting, use a low pressure sand blaster. Don't use sand though, use baking soda. 15 minutes later your done!
How about using sawdust? I'd imagine its best using the same material you are processing.
Thank you, Roger! Great video.
Thank you for the real-time earnings data, very cool to get a real glimpse into the revenue.
Nice work and sweet router. You could vacuum-infuse the wood with epoxy resin prior to milling. That way it's a lot harder and less fuzzy while milling and it yields to a more robust part
That is wonderful. A beautiful job,thank you for showing .
Thank you, for watching, Please visit my Patreon page, subscribe and forward the video on to a friend. Roger Webb ;-)
i got so much better at cnc wood carving once i realized the importance of calculating the spindle rpm for the feed rate and the specifications of the bit. The bit doesn't even get too hot to touch when it's making chips properly; You just have to get more comfortable putting some lateral force on it instead of thinking the cnc machine is supposed to be moving with no resistance
My dad is 53 and just got his first computer last year, congrats on keeping with the times you're really doing alot better than 99% of people your age do
Thank you for that ;-))
@NPC #34254334 Response: im approaching 51 and i started with ZX Spectrum .....
That's actually really odd since your dad isn't even old in terms of computers. I mean, he's Gen X. So that's really strange. He was 35 when Windows XP and GTA 4 was out to give you some perspective. Perhaps it was just a personal choice and not age related? I suspect it's the latter.
I would add reminder for people to know the Maximum rpm speed for the bit they are using, to buy only quality bits. as a bigger bit at too high of speed might explode apart. Very nice video thanks
Great tip!
You should be able to write a simply G code program in Mdi instead of having to turn your handle tell it S1000 M3 and then G91 Y12.00 F5.0 and you can feed incremental without having to write a full program. Awesome 👏 work i like your channel ive been a cnc programmer for 25+ yrs and am fixing to buy a router for some side projects 👍🏻
I have to say. It never get boring watching a CNC run. I love the setup you have.
I always wanted to get into this sort of hobby and make it a business alongside a few other things. Loved to do carpentry work by hand and by machine.
Brilliant. This is beautiful. Well done.
There are rotating steel, brass or palstic brushes available for the Dremel. I think those might speed up the process of cleaning in case it's only burrs that are left?
Forget the Dremel, just chuck the brush into the router and run it over the whole surface. Let the machine do the work.
@@user-lj4xq4hm3k Ehh, with touch up work like that I'd rather the feedback from a hand tool so I can see when would be best to back off.
@@S31Syntax If you know what the cutter is doing you know where you need to program it. On that eagle it would take longer than 2 hours but if we are talking about selling wood carvings it would be well worth it.
Much respect old timer. Starting my own CNC business in Kentucky. I come here to learn. Groovy music. Mesmerizing footage. All the possibilities wake me up when I should be asleep. Can’t wait to have a functioning shop soon. It’s my goal to be my own boss, and make things that make people smile. I’m interested namely in coats of arms, folk art, making forms to cast recycled aluminum pop cans. Your channel inspires me and other artists, creators, and techies. High five across the pond, cousin.
Awesome! Thank you!
Ceder is such a nice quality though because is an aromatic, and a clear coat has lots of luster. I have always wanted a CDC machine and may get one. Thank You.
You, sir, shot this video on my birthday! Thank you!!
I’ve been watching Mr. Webb for years, he’s like the bob ross of wood working
another wall flower :P
Yes I used to program 5-axis NC machines back in the day with A.P.T. software.
Roger, yes cedar is also very hard on your tools even carbide. I noticed even with oak the same effects. Pine seems to cut the best for me. I agree with you on the 2.2kw spindle. I upgraded from the 1.5KW. Only thing is I have to share the 220volt dryer plug with the old lady. Or get one installed in the garage. Good work I always enjoy watching your videos and watching you progress over the years.
from 14.36 epic sound atmosphere
LINDO TRABALHO ROGER, PARABENS!
Gracias Roger!
Love the precision instruction, “ Tighten it firm. Quite firm.”
Nice. I love the carve done by machine. My dad is a professional wood carver but he does only by hand.
Thats becoming a lost talent, thats awesome for him 😊
Those remaining outer edges are a little time consuming to reduce down, prior to swapping out the cutter again for the fine cutter. Why not enter instructions at the very beginning with the 12.7mm cutter installed that removes 6-8mm from the left and right side and then continues to rough cut the object (in this case it is an Eagle). Reducing those outer edges first would save you an awful lot of time and also a whole cutter change. not to mention the wear and tear of that cutter. Just a thought. God bless.
this is the very first time I've even seen a CNC machine working and found it totally amazing thank you very much aim enthralled now
You are very welcome
That was just awesome! Thanks for sharing your work.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks so good that when I saw the thumbnail I had a moment of "What the hell are they doing to that bird?!"
same
I grant you the best taste in music award. Soo soothing
Ello
Sound track from kerbal space program!
It’s the same soundtrack as Kerbal Space Program
that was beautiful, thank you for teaching during the video.
You are so welcome
Great for you my friend! Stay happy healthy and fluid
That's cool IDK why I am here but that's Amazing
You can also take off the furring with a blowtorch, and it can add to the piece if you’re careful.
Lovely sir its a wonderful Piece of History of America so love the work well done .
Awesome work buddy. Great process coming together to make great things. Love it.
Thanks 👍
The Kerbal space program music makes watching the machine great
Kerbal Space Program in the background...NICE!!!!
a man of culture
I don't see it?! :o
It might need cleanup, but I really like the look of that cedar with that pine. Very understated and pleasant. Using a shiny new ball-end cutter might reduce the hand tooling, but you can treat the cedar with sealer (Min-Wax Sanding Sealer works) before the final tool change to reduce tear outs at sharp angles. Just slow down your spindle & feed, give the piece lots of time to dry, then pause and check occasionally to make certain the cutter flutes aren't clogging with material. The first time I tried that, I didn't wait long enough for the sealer to dry. The very tip of the ball-end cutter clogged, got hot, burned the piece, then broke the cutter. Spot treatment with cyanoacrylate adhesive has worked for me, but it gets soft when heated, so caution is advised.
Nice job done Roger. You remind me of an old friend of mine who has since pass away. I watched several of your videos and enjoy them always. A brother N law of mine use to do refinery work, with various aluminum, brass ect... he was very good at it and some times they had things like the eagle to pour in metals, and they would on occasion use a sand blaster to remove the roughness, I use sand blasters for engraving and if you use filtered silicone sand it is like high grit sand paper, lets say 1000 grit plus and it is easy to sand with, might be an option in your future and it gets into all the small areas for ultimate sanding.
Thanks barry, I will look into that.
I love that machine but I would never use any kind of cedar with it never get a smooth look to it unless your going for rustic look
He is just the cutest, Can i adopt him?
24:43 to 24:45, night and DAY difference. Looks BEAUTIFUL stained/shellaqed/varnished, whatever it is you did. WOW!!
Thanks for the video
Hello! Thank for the video. The best way to cut cedar l cut in 45 degrees. Because l cut the wood in in not grain.
Hi Roger, I've found with some woods, to avoid furry bits you do the clearance along the grain and then the finish across the grain. Also a straight ball nose rather than a tapered ball nose does slightly better as it gets down into the cusps better. Also, you can do an offset tool path, it takes longer but there is less post cleaning up. What wood do you find mills the best with no fuzzies?
Your moniker reminds me of my grandkids. Your grandkids are just a beautiful day with your CNC. You’ve done some fantastic work with it.
thats an interesting tip, gonna try it out
A flap/brush wheel for a drill is a major time saver. It will clean up your carving is under 5 minutes and get into all the details. They work best at a low rpm. Its called sand-o-flex
This was a lovely video to watch. Thank you for the upload
Glad you enjoyed it
imagine actually having some talent like this guy? would be nice
Looks great I would just like to know the run time and total time it takes to produce this part.
Thanks for your great video. I learn a lot of basic from this.it is very helpful.
Nice video Roger. I was pulled in to watch the whole thing when I saw the Storm Trooper waving the Aussie flag! Love it
No idea how I found this but it’s so interesting and I’m happy I did. Not looking at buying a machine but I love this video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful work Roger! I love the manual labor involved as well. The only thing I'm totally amazed by, is that people actually want to buy this eagle. For me the art and the beauty of it is in working with machines, I never understood that people want to buy products, I only understand making things.
Not everyone has the skills to make everything although one could fell there own tree and carve a table out of it many people will say that it is worthwhile investment to buy the table or egal in this case instead of acquiring the skills instead investing Thier time into other ventures
Beautiful carving , great tips on CNC usage, thanks 👍
Thanks for watching!
Super! Thank for the video.
went from i need help to making 12k a month :D nice! and congrats
I thought the same... making 12k a month, during retirement, and you need help?
@@tonydavis1607 when he made the video he wasnt making that, read the description :)
How long did the milling take ?
Great vid, I used to love carving with just a hand held dremel back in the day,used to have pine trees which was great for carving snakes ect, very addictive and time consuming but love working with wood.
Thanks 👍
Thanks so much for helpful video, hopefully am keep watching more I need to learn it's interesting thanks
Amazing! New Subscriber. :)
Standard copy paper is about 0.004" thick, usually 0.003" or 0.002" by the time it catches under the tool.
was just thinking the same thing
This was really fun to watch, thank you!
You are so welcome!
When I work in metal, to get a nice finish I leave about 0.2-0.5mm for a fine cut. Just run the program again and it will get rid off that "fur" and leave a great finish. Cuts out that extra manual work. Great video, inspires me to start woodworking!
Great point!
@@rogerwebb9600 You can also try a downcutting bit.
Called a spring pass…
Did anybody else catch the Kerbal space program sound track in this? Hahahah
I was like.. man this is some good music for a woodworking video.
i always hear ksp music everywhere that isnt in ksp
I don't I need to hear it more
@@George-lc9fq cause KSP use DMCA free music :)
Yeah KSP uses stock music I believe lol
came in to see some woodcarving, came out with a PhD balg eagle CNC..
bald*
@@runk8583 Oh it's definitely balg. The eagle clearly isn't bald.
@@TheNajSD think it’s a toupee
Your videos are amazing and inspiring. I hope you keep doing this.
Thank you, I will
Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much!
As soon as I saw all the jagged fury edges I thought, more cutting paths would also help with the amount of post processing. I would have tried double or even triple the roughing passes. then I would have switched to a 3/8ths inch ball cutter and left about 0.010" of stock with a decent 0.025" step-over. If your software has "rest milling" it will only go over areas it has to mill for the 3/8ths, I don't know how complicated or how complete of a package that software is. If possible (with your software), I would have used an 1/8th inch ball mill after that and cleaned out a bit more, again leaving 0.010" stock with the same 0.025 step-over. Then switch to your finishing tool, looks like a tapered ball mill. Perhaps go a tiny bit slower or give it more spindle speed and feed (both). Wood can be tricky to get a smooth finish with the more exotic woods, as you have noticed. Please keep in mind that I am not "telling you what to do" or being an armchair critic. I'm just thinking out loud what I might try after seeing how that type of wood has responded to the tool paths that you tried.
It may be more cost effective to finish it by hand. Doing another entire pass (or multiple passes) with that small of a tool takes forever. You could almost have another one cut out in the time it takes. I guess it just depends on what other orders you are filling at the time and if it is better time management to let the machine do the work.
Could you replace the bits with metal cutters and make a brass eagle? Before they had computers I used to use a tape drive milling machine and carved out different things with aluminum. I was trained back then by a teacher that machined parts for the first space shuttle. He helped make the doors on the space shuttle and normal tolerances for machining are plus or minus 5 thousandths, but for the space shuttle the tolerances were plus or minus one thousandth.
that is more likely work for the bigger industrial cnc mills like a vf-2 or something from what i see these garage cnc machines only ever cut wood
It depends how rigid this router is and what the spindle horsepower is. Routers are normally reserved for wood and plastic, while CNC mills are used for metals (and plastics). This particular machine might be able to handle brass though, it's not a very tough material to cut.
I'm assuming you're talking inches. 1 thousandth of an inch is 25 micron. I work on a crankshaft manufacturing line, and we run to a bearing diameter tolerance of +/- 8 micron.
A real pleasure watching sir quite inspirational.
I LOVE CNC WORKS
I thought you were drilling through a dead owl in the thumbnail! 😂😂😂
18:33 ksp theme :D
I know right!?
fantastic little vid sir, really enjoyed seeing your process, good look to you and happy thanksgiving :D
Happy holidays!
Тнanks for work! You are really good!
When I am financially able, I will be helping out. Watching things like this really makes me happy.
Очень круто, мот какие технологии в мире
I really enjoyed watching this video, thank you❤
Glad you enjoyed it! please pass my videos on to friends
Amazing and really educational video. Also it's amazing that you still actively read comments. Great job!
I try
Old men always make technology sound so hard.
Not just the old men, but the old women, and old children too.
I wish you were in the USA. I would love to hire you to make me a Resolute desk
Ive been programming over 25yrs I would be happy to quote you a Resolute desk if you your interested.
love it. Thx
Love it..love your work and I love that it's an AMERICAN EAGLE.thank you.. you are a true craftsman
Thank you so much 😀
WOW amazing! Can you do one of those wood balancing eagles that you balance on the tip of the beak??
not possible with wood carving bcz those designs are hollow inside. And they have metal weights present inside the wings inorder to bring the center of gravity at the beak.
its like a 3d printer in reverse
I just said exactly the same thing
Subtractive manufacturing vs additive manufacturing. Accomplishing the same goal (sometimes) through different means.
Its CNC technology know from very long time before 3d print
Hello! I'm Brazilian and I appreciate your work. Despite my limited English I can reasonably understand his expiries
not too soon I hope
@@darthvader5701 😂😂
Use 1/8" carbide ball Bose bit and do a 5-6% overlap of tool paths. Done!
Hearing an older gentleman say the phrase "G-Code" in a casual way completely unrelated to the common modern inner city vernacular referring to a gang members code of personal conduct, is rather interesting to acknowledge, if nothing else. Funny when you think about it.
I had the exact same thought
Love this!
I'm very glad and your advices are appreciated, Well done thank you for sharing
this wood be so much nicer than cutting steel and especially aluminum (for a living)
Yes, it wood.........
Tell me about it.... ugh
It's not, it's dusty and you get headaches from it. yea I remember how bad smelling coolent was all day and even more so when it was rancid coolant but i'd say it's a trade-off really one bad thing for another. also there were days i'd get really bad infections and when i bent over the sinuses unblocked of all the infection i'd have to go get anti-biotics a lot.
