VCarve and Resin Inlayed Signs / Plaques

- Episode 2
My son Tristan and I use the CNC to carve some "Thank You" gifts for his 6th grade teachers and staff. They were very supportive and helpful to Tristan this year. They are carved out of hard maple, and filled with a colored clear epoxy resin.
This is a very simple and clean way to color your carvings, be they signs, plaques, or larger pieces. I have quite a few more ideas on how to take this technique much further - and will be following with more projects like this soon. Next project may be a much bigger endeavor, so if you like this - please hit that like button, ring that bell, comment, and most importantly - subscribe!
Thank you for watching, and thanks to all of Tristan's teachers this year. Don't forget to thank your teachers!

It's so good to be able to share your interests with your kids. It expands their worlds just a little bit more, and hopefully sparks their interest in something new.
Fantastic. Looking back as a 70-year-old man, some of my fondest memories were created during the times that I spent one-on-one with my son.
It’s so good to see a father taking the time to give his child the gift of his skill, knowledge and sense of gratitude towards the people who educate him. Thanks for sharing this story.
I am a dad and LOVE your video!!! Your son will remember that project for the rest of his life! Go dad!!!!
I stumbled on this video and am so glad that I did. My two daughters went to Hunters Woods Elementary (Reston) back in the late 70's walking to school on those great paths there. Yes, the teachers there were wonderful and I am sure they are today as well. Great job and great idea for both of you.
Very refreshing to see a father take the time to pass a long his wisdom and knowledge to his child. I can see that he is being raised to be patient , kind and grateful. Nice to see in the world we live in today
The fact that its a father son bonding experience makes this so much better.
Thank you! Agreed!
I’m a principal, dad of a 12 year old and builder of anything. You have taught your son something far more important than wood working. You’re a great father.
You are passing on skills and ideas that will serve him all his life.
Thank you for what you are doing.
Aw thanks man!! Appreciate it!
Inspirational, these activities help form a solid foundation for our children’s future lives.
Came for the resin, left with a warm heart! Thank you
That is an incredible gift to give Tristan! Woodworking is a fantastic skill to have and you look like you are on your way to being awesome!
I also use the Avid Pro series CNC and my 29 year old son and I have had many hours in the shop creating projects. I cherish everyone of them. Keep learning Tristan, great job on the plaques!!! You have a great teacher in the wood shop in your Dad! Keep striving for excellence!
Good job guys, turned out very nice.
Way to go Tristan! Great job nephew. Loved it. Keep up the good work Tim.
Awesome job guys! 👏🏻👏🏻
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful job! Good to see you involved your son. My 8 year old daughter is extremely interested in woodworking projects (she loves watching the CNC). That gives me gift ideas for her teachers.
Love it. Thanks for sharing. You have a great kid.
Thanks so much!
I enjoyed this a lot. I teach HS Woodworking and we are still learning how to match up CNC and Epoxy together. Thank you for the demonstration. On a side we use a keyhole router bit on the back of our signs fo hanging
Thanks! I never took shop in HS... glad to have helped!
Great Project ! With a great young man. I love to see kids take an interest in woodworking. Subbed!!!
I think he was more interested in UA-cam, but I’ll take any excuse :)
Nice work. And I totally agree about raising kids to be thankful, etc. I’m now a subscriber.
Thanks!
💯Well done! The results are beautiful.
Tristan, I hope you enjoyed this project and want to do another one; the first time you do something new is the hardest - at least for me it is. I am very impressed that you had such a thoughtful idea and carried through with it. I know you made your teachers _very_ happy and proud when you made these plaques for them.
I’ll tell Tristan to reply to this one :)
Great post on a number of levels!! Love the project, concept, lessons, dad/son time, video quality, background audio, voiceover, and overall production quality is outstanding!
Thanks Hack!
This was a really good video, I recently got into CNC myself and subbed to learn even more about how to do really cool woodworking projects.
Thanks!
Lovely stuff you two boys, that was a great little video, and the project looked fab. Subscribed!
Thanks!!
Nice.
Nice wholesome video, and great work! I make state river map plaques using the same methods. Subbed.
Thanks so much!
You can bet on "that's how his teachers feel" part. We do.
Hello , nice video i really enjoyed seeing working with your son and he seams to be a really good and grounded boy . I am a woodworker and i have a 2,5 yo son i wish in some years he will enjoy working with me like yours . I also am doing some resin works but as i have it in my mind its not the healthiest thing and i was thinking by the time he gets to a working age i need to find an alternative and stop doing works with resin , maybe the type of resin you work is better than mine in that aspect but still i feel it worths saying .
I enjoyed this video but it reminds me I’d stand by me movie!
good boy 👍
You’ve both done an amazing job 👏
Did these get mounted on the wall or displayed on a plate rack stand?
Lovely video :-), would you please tell me what was this poly spray you used to polish the resin? thanks
Great tutorial and great to see father and son working together. Keep up the great work. Probably I will build something with my son as well. What is the tool we are using to blow off the dust around 3:27 ?
Just my air compressor with a pin attachment you would use to blow up a ball...
I had a teacher back in the 70s named Ono, she was mean. And she liked to hit kids with rulers. Nice project!
Good video. Great voice over. Whats the poly you used at the end? thanks
I don’t remember. It is likely whatever spray clear coat I could find at the local big box. Clear paint works, so does spray poly or spray lacquer
What’s the brand of the vacuum rig you used?
Very, very cool!
Hey, is that the same brand of CNC that Frank Makes channel uses now? Looks like it, to my unlearned eye. :-)
It is... Cncrouterparts, now avidcnc I think...
Sir, I have one important question. Is that a"Vacuum" or "Pressure" Pot. Do you ADD pressed air inside or do you vacuum the air out.
Secondly, how much is that pot with the compressor to support it?
Thanks!
I have a vacuum chamber. A pressure pot would be good if you wanted to “bake” resin inside it while it cured. The vacuum pulls some amount of air out before you pour it. To be honest, not sure it even does much... I bought the kit on amazon for around 75 bucks I think...
@@ThisIsHowIMadeIt
Thank you for the reply. So, I guess the real value is to invest a pressure pot, to cure & remove bubbles for professional look. Is that correct?
Thanks!
Ben Hayat the pressure pot will compress the air so bubbles will remain very small. But the item needs to cure inside the pot until it is done. If you are going to do an open pour, the pot would not help. As soon as you released the pressure the air would uncompress. The vacuum chamber theoretically helps with open pours like you see me doing here. It removes a lot of the air from inside the resin, and if you let air back in slowly, only a small amount of air will find its way back inside the resin. For open pours, you still need the torch to pop bubbles, but you should have less.
Is it just me, or does this sound like the Lofty Pursuits guy!
Hi! Awesome work! I sent you a message on Facebook inquiring about purchasing a custom piece. Please let me know if there is an alternate method of communication.
Hi Kelly. I’ve seen some people that sort of specialize in taking photographs and turning them into 3D images for use on the CNC, but I am not one of those people. The lake project you saw used topographic maps from the USGS to get that image. I would google how to turn a 2d image into 3D for carving and see if you can find someone who does that for you.
These are beautiful plaques is there a way I can contact you
ha ha this is a tryout for "this american life"
Seems to me the school has failed the student. I believe PRINCIPLE on the plaque should be PRINCIPAL. Apart from that, great looking project.
