Cocktail Smoker Demo
This is a quick demo video of how to use our whiskey smokers. We originally purchased our plans from @HamiltonDilbeck and have had fun experimenting at home with different cocktails. Once a person sees the potential in this unique item, they can have a lot of fun with it. This is not a build video, but a how to use video for anyone who has purchased this smoker.

Wahuda 10 Inch Jointer - Replacing Full Size Jointer with A Benchtop!
Переглядів 1 тис.Місяць тому
In this video, I show the setup and some test cuts on a new Wahuda 10" Benchtop Jointer. The wide bed and spiral cutter head with carbide inserts, all within a benchtop machine, intrigued me enough to replace my standard-size jointer.

Making Cheap Lumber with a CNC
Переглядів 8793 роки тому
Making Cheap Lumber with a CNC is easy! It is not hard to find a large slab for cheap that has excessive bows, warps, or defects that cause most people to reject it. These can often be milled down with your CNC to make cheap lumber! I often go to my slab store and walk right past the nice, clean ready to sell slabs and look at what is in the scrap or defect bin. With the right vision, you can f...

I designed the project using Vectric Aspire and created it e...
CHEAP CNC Surfacing Bit that performs!
Переглядів 7 тис.3 роки тому
Is there really such thing as a CHEAP CNC surfacing bit that performs? I started my CNC journey with a quality set of Whiteside CNC bits that have been great performers. I added a Whiteside 6220 CNC surfacing bit to my collection which has also performed well. When I started looking at other options for surfacing bits, I found some that were climbing into the $200 and nearly $300 range. I under...

Building the Avid CNC PRO 4848 4' x 4' CNC Router Kit
The reason why I'm asking if you can build one is because I have over 270 records
Hey Ryan. For some reason I don’t see any previous comment from you so I’m not sure what you are asking. Sorry if I missed something but it is not showing up on my end! You can also email me at mattesoncreations@gmail.com.
Nice work
Just bought one of these. I really appreciate your set up video, very helpful!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
This jointer does not have a spiral cutter head. It is a segmented head. Knives still cut strait, fewer knives than a spiral head. The print this crap on the box hoping that the buyer doesn't know any better. These companies should be called on this crap.
Hey, thanks for the comment. This is of great interest to me as I was working to learn more about it as I considered purchasing this jointer. I am not a machinist nor a machine designer, but my understanding it that this jointer's cutter head is technically a spiral cutter head (several small carbide inserts arranged in a spiral pattern on the cutter head). Of note is that the inserts still cut straight (90 deg) to the surface. Whereas a helical cutter head would have more inserts and they are set at an angle to shear the wood. Here is the reference I had saved when looking it up on my own. www.konetool.com/spiral-vs-helical-cutterhead-differences-explained/#:~:text=Usually%2C%20spiral%20cutterheads%20can%20create,capable%20of%20making%20deep%20holes. I'm certainly no expert though and love the feedback, hopefully others will help enlighten me!
Excellent narration. Came across as very knowledgeable. Would love to watch more. Great work.
Much appreciated!
Excellent work, Hendley!
Glad you liked it!
That was one heck of a build, that thing is a tank, lol. Your clients great great grandchildren will love it too! Really nice end result. 👍🏻
There may have been a slight case of over engineering involved with this one! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing, how much does that CNC cost?
Thank you for watching! all in at the time I built this it was right around $10,000 with all the upgrades included.
Could the cabinets be mirrored?
I think it would be possible.
Went looking on the avid site for the file you say you used .. could not find it .. could you link it please? and stick it
Any chance that the files for the spoil board are available?
Love the idea of dovetails and not T-Track. My Avid Pro4848 arrives soon and was wondering if you can post the files for your spoil board? Thanks for your service and the great content.
Where can I get one
I'm looking to upgrade. I'm stuck between Avid and Stepcraft. Did you take a look at Stepcraft?
Hello and thanks for watching. I did look at both. I liked the idea of Avid because I knew things would not always work forever and figured with Avid if I built it I can fix it. With Stepcraft I liked the price point and the many features and options that can be added. What led me to choose Avid was something simple, but important. On two or three different occasions, I reached out to Avid with questions about their product and got a response within hours. It was just basic sales questions, but they still responded immediately. I had similar questions for Stepcraft and never got a response. Granted this was years ago and I'm sure things have changed. Also, I felt Avid was just a more robust machine compared to a similar sized Stepcraft. If I was in the market for a higher end hobby machine today, I'd still consider Stepcraft, but would hope they would reply to my questions! Thanks again, hope you gave the video a thumbs up and would consider subscribing if you have not already!
thanks for the response. Yep subscribed. @@MattesonCreations
You are the most. Unsafe table saw operator on UA-cam
I appreciate your feedback. I won't defend my actions as the safest way to operate a table saw is to always use a push stick. Making videos and listening to the feedback is a great way to be reminded when you have become complacent.
Where can I buy this 3D file?
I wish I could provide you with the file; however, I did not create it. I purchased it on Etsy and with a quick look just now I could not find the exact file. In the future I'm going to start making my own files so I can distribute them upon request. Thanks for watching. I hope you have subscribed!
@@MattesonCreations I subscribed!
What is the price for your CNC?
Hi, thanks for watching! At the time I purchased my system it was approximately $10,000
I really like the cell phone holder. I just put my CNC together and looking a for a first project. Do you have files to share? thanks
Thanks for watching! I put this project together quickly as a last minute request for a friend. I could clean up the files and get them to you if you are still interested.
that would be great. I'm new and learning and would like to get out a project for some friends@@MattesonCreations
Can you tell me what size pocket it cuts? I want to install washers under the screws. Thanks
Great job, only comments i might make are, the cable guide, if it was fitted the other way around, wouldn't the clips be accessible for adding new cables, say for new sensors or similar? And i'm not sure if they were, but only ever use flush cutters on cable ties, it might happen now, but at some point you are going to really regret not, generally coupled with tight deadlines etc.
I think you are really on to something. I am in the process of finishing the build on a 4896 Avid and believe that the Matchfit system you have utilized fits the bill. I look forward to when you upload the files. Thanks for putting this video together.
Thanks for watching! I hope you got enough out of the channel to subscribe. So far the board is working great.
Awesome 👏
Thanks for watching! I hope you got enough out of it that you chose to subscribe to the channel!
Looks great...
Thanks. So far it has worked out well.
When making adjustments do u listen the other three screws or do u leave them tight for spindle making the ridges
When adjusting, all the mounting screws will be loosened just a little bit, then the eccentric bearing can be used to move the entire plate after which the mounting screws are tightened and then the tramming is tested again.
You don’t happen to have your spoil board files uploaded do you?
I currently do not but plan to in the near future so they will be available.
Could I get the dimensions?
@MattesonCreations You noted that you experimented with different screws to get a good attraction to the magnets. What type of screw did you settle on?
I believe these M8x16mm fasteners are what I used initially. Link: amzn.to/3rp3frv
That's beautiful Joel and Erin, and thank you for your service. I couldn't serve due to a medical condition but both of my children did as well as their spouses. So this means a lot to us!!
Thank you for the kind words and thank your family for their service!!!
Did you use loctite on the screws when assembling? Would you recommend using or not and why? Thank you!
Hi, thanks for watching! I hope you are subscribed! I did use blue loctite. If you look in the video description I posted a link to what I used, instead of the liquid form that I had always used in the past, I used the Loctite stick that is basically like Loctite chap stick and it worked great. I did not use it on every screw on the machine, but if I recall, the assembly instructions have you use it in certain key areas.
@@MattesonCreations thank you! Hopefully, I will be putting my own together very soon
Hi Joel, Did you precut your board?
Good afternoon! Thanks for watching. I hope you subscribed! The only pre-cutting I did was to cut it to dimension front to back, which was 49" This allowed it to line up perfectly with the first and last cross brace. All the other cuts were done by the CNC.
@@MattesonCreations thanks. That’s what I did too.
@@MattesonCreations I've been a subscriber for a while now.
How many cd does it keep? Just the ideal size. Subscribed.
Hello, thanks for watching and subscribing! For this shelf, each bay can hold 35 CDs so a total of 210 CDs if the entire shelf was full.
@@MattesonCreations thank you for the feedback. Good content. Please do a dvd(including blu-ray) , VHS tape and cassette(music) one if possible to see how different you will make it? I just checked your vinyl design shelf and you are very creative. This cd one is nice as well.
Hi Matt. I just got my 4848 Pro. Where do I find that spoil board file?
Congrats on the new machine! You are going to have a lot of fun! Here is a link to the Avid CNC site where they provide a the spoil board files. www.avidcnc.com/support/instructions/machineSetup/spoilboard/
@@MattesonCreations Thanks Joel!!
You sound like the lock picking lawyer. Lol great video. I'm looking to make one
You should!
Good video, you can also add color to the concrete to create a different contrast. How much was your CNC?
I did a test with some color and didn't like the outcome, but it was only one test and I'm sure with some practice and the right product it would have been a much better result. My particular CNC ready to run, and including software, was approximately $10,000.
Ha! I just assembled mine and discovered the Y-axis limits in the same fashion as you. It took me awhile to figure out what was going on.
I hope you are enjoying your machine!!!
You made my day, God willing I will buy a CNC , like this one, learned a lot form you Sir. but please don not use any ring on your hand when using machionery please, tahnk for your time I dowenloaded all the video you made concernong this CNC unit, God bless you , have a great day......Gracias
Thanks for the reminder and yes, you will not regret having a CNC, endless possibilities!
router out a river bottom and side walls, place some rocks, twigs and bluegreen acrilics for the river then cover with clear. beautiful table.
Harmonic vibration do to piece only held by tabs.
So many great tips here.
Thank you Craig!
I have been considering an Avid CNC for sometime now. I have been interested in 4848 machine but recently started thinking maybe I should get the 60x60 so holding down a 48" wide sheet goods would be easier. Im curious what your experience and thoughts are on that, it would be an extra $800 at this time?
My theory is if you have the space, and you have the budget, you will never regret having a larger CNC. I have not needed larger than my 48x48 yet; however, I was asked to do a dining room table project last week that I would love to use my CNC for but it may not be big enough.
Just saw this, but love the video!
Thank you!
I love your videos. You give honest and upfront comments!
Thanks Gregory. I have had to take some time off from video creation. But I'm back at it with a few new ones coming out soon. I hope you liked and subscribed!
How much deep for lower part and top part.They dont mension about that?
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are asking.
I'm making sure that the 49" goes along the "X" axis and the 48" goes along with the "Y" axis? I am about to do this, but I just wanna make sure I have it oriented the right way.
#MattesonCreations Is this the $6k one or the $5,200 one? Thanks so much for making these videos. I’m really going to be dipping into the bank for my purchase. I just have a small shop and I’m a ‘retired’ engineer since breaking my neck and becoming a quadriplegic. I’d love to pick your brain if you have time. Thanks
Hi Todd. This is the pro 48x48 so the base kit is currently $5265 on the Avid website. That is the base kit only, so keep in mind there are other accessories you need to complete it and actually make it functional. I am happy to answer any questions at any time!
Great info! I also purchase the PRO4848. I am excited, because it should be delivered by the end of July!
Hi Jarrod. You are really going to enjoy it. Nothing this machine can't do!
Built something similar last year. Good to see people still using physical media
It has been fun to learn. My shop activity slowed down a little in 2022 due to other commitments, but I'm picking it back up and enjoying every minute of it!
What size is the spindle hole for the 4 hp spindle? Where can I get the files for this video?
now i want this for my CD collection too!
Its a simple project that can be expanded to be as big as you need it!
great video, thank you, I am waiting for 4x4 to be delivered. Love your channel. How loud is this VS a hand router?
Thanks Steve. You are really going to enjoy it. I'm putting out a video on my latest spoil board soon, it has been working well for me. The spindle is much quieter than my hand held routes, even my trim router. That said, once a bit starts cutting wood, then the noise from the spindle is not relevant because the true noise comes from the bit and material.
