I showed this to my wife. She loved it and already has a spot on the wall for it. I purchased the files / plans and downloaded them. THEN I told her my cnc wasn't big enough to make it so I'll have to get a bigger one I have had my eye on. This may work out really well. Thanks.
BAHAHAA!! Excellent.
It's great to find a person showing the unedited journey of a typical learner. Same issues I have.
I think videos that show common problems and solutions are so much more useful.
Nice project. Always make cutting out the piece the very last thing you do, then there are no problems with tabs and no need to add clamps. Order of operation is very important to a successful project. The forces of a bit cutting through wood can be great, much more than tabs can hold, no matter how many you use. I use polyurethane to pre coat the project before painting. Shellac is not a good choice in my opinion because it is alcohol based and will dissolve when painted over with paint that contains alcohol or other solvents allowing the paint into the grain.
Thanks for another great video. I know its very easy to overlook important steps when using CNC as missing a step in the process is very important or thing go wrong especially if the part moves and trying to reset is difficult and sometimes interesting results comes out at the end with something that wasn't planned. I been doing it for 6 months full time and I learnt that we have to be on top of the game to produce good results. So much tasks is involved with CNC work from designing and creating toolpaths to setting up machine, through to finishing the project. Its amazing and challenging business to be in.
Appreciate that. Yup, it's fun and a learning experience with every new project.
I've got a clamp that looks similar. Reminds me of how quickly things could go south lol. I love the clock!
For painting.......Buy yourself some sign vinyl or contact paper. Cover the top of your work piece with it.
When cutting, cut anything in your design that you want to paint. Get some clear spray paint and the colors you need.
While leaving the vinyl on your work piece, spray a coat of clear into the areas that you want to paint that have been carved. After it drys, then spray the color of your choice. Remove the vinyl.
What the clear spray paint does is it protects the colored paint from bleeding into the grain on your your work piece.
I would run some test lettering on some different woods until you get the hang of it.
Looks like I watched this video before, but did not leave a comment. Watched it all the way through again, and leaving this comment. Just trying to help with your UA-cam algorithm.
Appreciate that! I'm actually working on a new video for this particular build as we speak. Hoping to clean up a few of the messups in the first video.
@@SothpawDesigns the mishaps actually help me learn what to watch for and how to recover from them, so they do not bother me at all. But I will definitely watch a new one. Thanks
This is the rawest form "1st time building something" All the screw ups, hang ups etc. that come with building something the first time around. Great video I hope it gives insight to some what's to be expected when developing something new not just on a CNC. My only suggestion would be using cheaper wood the first time around as a demo (I have learned that the hard way multiple times especially with Walnut) It turned out great!
That's very true. I actually did my VERY first iteration with MDF, but still had to work through some little issues.
Love the clock - it would be really cool if you took it a full step further and dive into arduino world of electronics to move the Day of week, Month and day of month...
I actually teach computer programming, so it’s not a horribly hard thing to do, just time consuming. I will probably try that this summer.
Great looking clock!
Suggestion (ref 8:15 post clamp damage)…
You could flip the left clamp around such that the shorter side of the clamp was pressing on the workpiece. This would give you more clamping force to hold the workpiece in place AND it minimizes the length of clamp extending over your workpiece.
Oromask 813. If you lay down a layer prior to the cut, it acts as a barrier and you can color fill the letters and numbers, and you just peel it off and it’ll save you time on sanding the paint residue later.
Nice design and video. To avoid a similar issues with the bit hitting the clamp, in the future set the Safe Z height in VCarve to about 1.5".
Yup. I knew that , but was forced to call an audible when the mess up happened. I guess though, if I always set the Safe Z height to 1.5, I’d never have to worry about that. You’re right.
Awesome design looks really nice!!
Definitely a nice project. I've been messing around with CNC's a little over 10 years now and I still haven't done anything that nice. Just small simple stuff. At least they pay the bills! lol. Great job!!!
Thanks. Despite the brain farts, this actually turned into a pretty easy build, once I refined the track sizes a little bit.
My wife has an obsession with clocks so this will be perfect for her. I am going to buy the vectors, but still kinda curious on how you worked out the timing for the calendar.
@@northwestgaming4049 It's manual.
BEAUTIFUL, I just wish I had room for a CNC.
Thank you.
Is it all ur design that u came up with ... Brother doesn't matter if u mess up that's what makes me and u better at making stuff we always learn something new..... Keep it up brother
Yes, I designed it from scratch. Not necessarily an original idea, I saw similar finished works online, but I made everything from scratch.
And designed it in V Carve Pro
love the way you fix the hole on the face, for the numbers and letters I would use resin, a toothpick and patience
I had a thin piece of cut off, so I just planed it down on the CNC and cut a circle. I think you’re right on the reason. I have a full gallon and a boatload of colors
Interesting to see another lefty work. The different angles we use
Livin in a right handed world!!! Bahahahaa
Nice design and nice results. It's also nice to know I'm not the only one who has to adjust on the fly when things don't go as planned on my CNC! I do a lot of painted v-carved images. I first coat the project with shellac then, when the shellac is dry, I use acrylic paint and a small paint brush to fill in the carvings. Using a paint brush minimizes the amount of paint that ends up outside of the carvings. I do a section at a time and then wipe off the excess paint with a damp cloth or paper towel. This way you don't end up with dried paint in the wood grain. Hope this helps.
Thank you. I'll put those things to use.
Awesome design. I’ve seen a lot of these and it’s on my list.
As for finishing the letters and numbers. I’d use epoxy myself. If you don’t go over board with the flooding then it will sand down easily enough.
Yup, I have some epoxy. I think I’m gonna try that out on the next one.
Very Cool 😎
I use small "syringe" or "needle" tipped paint bottles that I bought on Amazon for painting. The best way I've found to accurately paint carvings without making a mess
I have some syringes, but they’re not fine tipped enough. Need to find some tighter ones.
Great work thanks for sharing
Thank you! Cheers! Appreciate the view.
That is a great design. Love your videos also.
Thank you. This one was a lot of fun!!
3:30 its not always user error. I've found that if the wood hasn't fully acclimated (especially wood that had been sitting in a barn) after planing it will so be the same tiffin but can twist or bow a little. So although you're cutting the same depth all the way around you can start at a spot that might be a little higher curled up away from the spoilboard. Whenever doing through cuts I always prove z from the bed to ensure cuts all go TO the same depth Katadyn of FROM tye same depth which can change
Good call
For some reason I thought you had found a clock mechanism that would drive the outer rings as well as the clock hands, haha
I wish.
Lol I went down the same road. It is still a cool idea I might make one for myself.
Use Ormask and you can spray paint the letters/numbers.
Thanks. I’ve actually started doing that recently
Awesome project!! Appreciate showing the steps .. good and mishaps!! What kind of dust boot do you use? I have the x50 journeyman
I use the dust boot sold by Onefinity. Here's the link. www.onefinitycnc.com/product-page/onefinity-suckit-dust-boot-pro
Ridiculously cool project!
Wonder how someone could add something to make the wheels auto update? I'm sure some kind of Arduino or something could do it but not sure how you would index it so it knew where it was or how much to turn each wheel?
(Sorry I always try and make things more complicated...)
Will definitely have to try making one of these myself.
I've thought about that. I teach high school computer programming, so I'm gonna dabble with trying to use an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi to program that this summer. No promises, but I don't think it'd be horribly difficult.
@@SothpawDesigns Nice!
If you teach the class, could be a project for your students too!
Teach them some things and get some free debugging labor! Win-win!
😂
What finish would I have used? Or WILL I use once I buy the file? 😀 I'm partial to a water based General Finishes satin myself.
Nice project!!!!
I'll check that one out. I like trying out different finishes. And the file is available on my website in the pinned comment.
Just finished designing one of these myself. My wife didn’t want a clock though and I designed in registration stops in on each date and name.
I thought about registration stops. Might try that for the next iteration. For version 1.0, I just wanted to get it done as efficiently as possible.
Use white epoxy
Cool project! You could always use some sort of masking for your lettering & numbers to keep paint off the grain of wood you wish to stain. Also, would have taken longer, but segmenting the circles would have made them stronger & limited swelling which could potentially happen to your project. Long grain runs through your circles which can potentially cause your circles to oblong. Of course this is mostly an issue in the North Western part of the state's, so unless you live here or sell to someone who does, it may not be an issue at all.
Painting and finishing is still definitely a weak spot with me. Working on that this summer.
And the swelling is a good point. I wasn't sure how much that would affect this project. I did it in the winter, so we should see pretty soon. So far, no issues, but I'm curious to see if there's any effect once the dog days of Kentucky summer hit us.
@Sothpaw Designs - Woodworking & CNC For Beginners any chance you can explain further how the outer wheels work with the clock mechanism. In your video I don't see them actually being connected.
@@teaguewhite26 They're not connected. It's manual.
Use oramask to help with coloring the letter
Love design, wonder how hard it would be to make all of it adjust on its own?
That would require some programming. I’m gonna dabble with that this summer.
resin for numbers or inlay
That's cool
Thanks..... and did you know that you look strikingly close to drunk Nick Nolte? BAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!
Oramask and milk paint?
Never tried milk paint. I’ll check it out.
Great video.....but what is d diameter of the circles.... downloaded d plans but no measurements
When I make the clocks, I use the following dimensions.
The wheels have dimensions of 21.5, 18, and 14.5 inches outside diameter, with a thickness of 1.25 inches.
The clock is 22 inches tall and 11.5 inches wide.
Great video! What was that wax you used?
Odies Oil. I really like using it
@@SothpawDesigns How about for the tracks? Couldn’t see the label. 🙂
Good evening
Same to you
Now make one in a inch and a half watch. They make mechanical watches that can do all of that automatically. They are 10s of thousand of dollars though
Bahahaa! I'd love to see one. Don't think I'm up for that challenge!
Круто. Вопрос только как вращать внутреннее кольцо? Нужно что то думать
Его нужно перемещать вручную
Это понятно. Наружное кольцо можно взять. А внутреннее за что схватить?

clear lacker it all then epoxy fill sand smooth.
the lacker will prevent blooding :p
or so am told on juicetube.
