Hey man I love the videos. I am a 15 year old who just got into wood working over the last year because of a shop class in school. I started working at McDonald’s to work and save money for tools and a car. I have a decent little shop set up in my garage now. I also just got your apron for Christmas and I love it. It is so nice to have everything right there. I also just ordered the flush cut saw that I have been wanting for a while. I have been watching your dovetail videos and I am thinking about getting a dovetail saw and jig too. Your products are really high quality and have a great price. It would be cool to hear back from you.
Duuude! This came out phenomenal! The layered veneers add such a unique look to it. I'm definitely going to have to borrow some of these ideas next time I revisit topo carvings.
Great vid as always! I’ve been working with coloured veneers (rainbowwood) for a few years now and if I may, I could suggest 2 things to prevent cupping: 1 - uneven number of layers 2 - change grain direction between each layer. It will be much stronger and less likely to cup. Bonus for everyone who wants to do this with regular wood glue. You can, but you have to leave it clamped for a really long time to let the glue dry 100%.
Skateboard veneers are great for making lots of different things. I use my old skateboards and recycle them into toolhandles, keychains, coasters, .... This map looks insane!!
I love the look of the second one. The colors just seem to pop a lot more, plus you don't have that horrible FU valley in there. Oh yeah, I ordered a stop block and a Suizan saw recently and can't wait to get them. Awesome work!!!
Great video, Jonathan! I've glued up a piece with various species of wood at different depths with diff colors and have been meaning to carve into it for a landscape image. This is a great motivation for me to get that project rolling!
I just got my first CNC in late November. So far I’ve just been learning the machine and making a few small projects. The plan is to start a business and scale up to bigger and better machines.
Off topic: I finally got one of the Taylor Tools marking wheels kits (I'm in Australia - had to come by boat). What a really great tip you gave to try one of those. I knocked up a laminate of 1/4" Rosewood, 32nd" of Jacaranda, and 1" very heavy Blue Gum hardwood. Looks great and I built it. The wheels are sharp and comes with two spares! The threaded nut inserts call for a 25/64ths hole, but in hard hard wood that would tear away the brass outer cutting threads. I made a 7/16ths hole with epoxy and that's fine. Thanks. Great tool and looks great too.
That is a really great idea. They look like something right out of an atlas. I may get some strange looks when I’m backpacking and pull out my “topo map” Well done Jonathan!!
Kudos for first searching for what colors Topo maps actually use. The white would have added quite a bit, but knowing that you actually looked means a lot to many of us (professionals that deal with this subject). Brooxbreaker said you can use a planer for Kansas. I am working with topography in Iowa and California, so he/she/they are right in that topography differs greatly across the US. Such a cool project - and I would love one of California. I've done Eagle, Raven and Condor work in CA, so am familiar with how topography influences these birds flight. Very cool!
Jonathon, I would invest in a vacuum bagger to pull the veneers down to make a proper contact with each other. Your Loss of of your parts may have been an air pocket or lack of resin between the veneers. Bloody good idea, pity I am in New Zealand and no such work has been done to produce the files necessary for my country or parts thereof. Love it!
MADE LOVE TO A UNICORN🤣.I have you on in my shop on the big screen. Man o Man I love your work and you crack me up. Hope the thumb is getting better and stay away from the unicorns 😊
Those are Legit! Nice work. Ive tried doing something similar in the past on my Xcarve and I'm pretty sure it is incapable of doing a carving like this but there has got to be a way so I'm definitely going to do some more research and try again now that you've re-inspired me. Thanks for the motivation as always.
Its actually really easy. There is front/back...side to side...and up and down. IT looks way harder than it actually is. I have average brains and I found it fairly easy in reality.
Very nice. Your second one makes it look like the Central Valley is part of San Francisco Bay, which bothers my wife. She feels blue should be reserved for water. Suggestion: Do some more with sections of California blown up to a larger scale. It would be great to see Yosemite , Crater Lake, Tahoe, or the SF Bay area done with sufficient detail that you could pick out prominent features, such as Half Dome.
Yeah, it was almost impossible to separate because the central value is basically sea level but I agree. Was thinking about trying to paint it. I definitely have plans to do a much larger one out of solid walnut or cherry..
Wow, the laminate is not cheap. How would you go about pricing this for sale? Also, would you specify which lams and colors you used. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Really awesome man, congrats on the great result!!! I was thinking that you would flood everything with epoxy to protect the fine details from chipping off, but it's great as it is! Would love to replicate that, but don't own a CNC (yet) ;) ... Maybe in the future, and when I do, I'll surely revisit this video! Hope your finger is getting better! Cheers
Hey Jonathan, when you change bits, you shouldn't have to reset your material Z. You should be able to just use the smart tool set to the bed zero, at least that is how it works on my legacy cnc with mach3, highly recommend doing some digging on what you can do for your avid because that seems like a big pita.
This is awesome. I have one question though. I am not familiar with the composition or characteristics of the veneers, but why did you used 2 part epoxy instead of wood glue? Are the skateboard veneers more of a plastic composition or something that titebond would not work well for?
Out of curiosity - what happened to the business? Did the business only show up in fits, or did you scale it back for other reasons? Just wondering why you don't do it full time if it was that lucrative? Also how long did the full carve take?
Check out my making money with cnc video linked. Quite the opposite. We have 5 cnc based machines in the shop and have expanded to 5k sqft. The carve took about 3hours of run time
Also: Grain direction matters when glueing up, the grain direction has to shift in between layers. And the number of layers has to be uneven to avoid cupping.
Nice video! If you like this kind of sculptures, check out Dom Ricobene on Instagram, he’s been doing topographical CNC sculptures for years and his making videos and time lapses are truly top notch

If you live in Kansas you can just use a planer.
I laughed more than I should have when I read this
I feel ya in Oklahoman man....
I laughed pretty hard. This might be a winner
As a native Kansan, I can confirm this. We're not exactly known for our topographical features.
I don't have a CNC, so I was thinking of making a cutting board shaped like my state. But unfortunately, I live in Colorado.

Between the first and second maps, I'm reminded of those rising sealevel maps. Like a before and after.
Can't believe we haven't seen this video until now! It is wonderful to see our colored veneer in this application, it turned out amazing!!

Dude you and 3X3 coming in CLUTCH with these massive discount codes this week thanks so much!
This is so cool, amazing what technology and a great idea can create, love how the layers come through and really show off the peaks and valleys.
Can't wait for the next video where you do this with hand tools.
Super cool, I see these sorts of things in city maps and what not.
This is insanely awesome! You did an incredible job!
Thanks K!

WAW AMAZING GOOD SKILL 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
very interesting video. I have no idea what you're talking about with all the technical stuff, but I'm sure I will if I ever make the CNC jump.

Man this makes me want to get a CNC
I really loved it! I'm geography teacher and it may help me in class... and strong enough to resist the children's curiosity.... hahaha
Awesome!
You could take as reference (Z0) the table it self. This way you make sure that the reference is always the same (if you have the table leveled).
Very sweet project "made love to a unicorn" haha that cracked me up
Absolutely stunning. CNC is way above my league. I need to start somewhere but it seems so overwhelming.

with a shortcut.
I had this idea a couple of weeks ago and was telling my son how I wanted to do it. Weird timing.
I know the hates coming but I think CNC takes out craftsmanship yeah it’s art but the computer crafts it
If you used a thicker plywood and a vacuum bag it'd probably be dead flat
Also: Grain direction matters when glueing up, the grain direction has to shift in between layers. And the number of layers has to be uneven to avoid cupping.
@@AtelierQube Yeah, but that kind of goes out the window when you remove so much material via CNC
