Lower the foot on the scroll saw until it touches the top of the wood. That's what keeps the piece from jumping up and down while cutting. 🍻
Oh, that makes sense. I was treating it like I treat the blade height on the bandsaw, but makes sense that the logic is completely different. Thanks! I'll give that a try.
I just watched this, was going to say "You need to lower your foot", it helps and takes up most the vibration feeling and make sure your teeth on the blade are pointing down
The bandsaw blade shouldn't burn like that, you may need to replace it... it's probably dull... great project, the spoons turned out nice... I got a CNC recently, I'll have to give this a try...👍
Yeaaah... I've been avoiding it for the last few uses and telling myself "it's still fine". I think the comparison between the two was a slap in the face that I needed, lol. And nice! Good luck! Hopefully you're better at CAD than I am, cuz that's the part that's limiting me the most at the moment
@@woodificould It isn't very time consuming to sharpen a bandsaw blade. Just make a jig and use your Dremel .. @Matthiaswandel
has an excellent video where he show's the jig and how he made it
Great video , the CNC spoons are great for selling but the hobbit spoon is my favorite .
So glad to see a video using the cnc! Spoons turned out fantastic!
So glad to see a comment like this because I've specifically been trying not to use it in my videos. I assumed no one would care to see it for some reason. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Cnc is the ay to go if you are planning to produce a large batch. The hand made one is great for a personal use for you or a friend. I had a small laugh at the cartoon girl waiting with her mask on. Nice addition to the video. 😅
I got this two days later because I lack self control 😂. Totally relate!
Good times! 👌🏼
Adding an anti-fatigue mat under the scroll saw will absorb a lot of the vibration.
Never heard of this, but will definitely check it out now. Thank you!
About the hobbit spoon. A good complex cnc program can simulate gouge cuts, like being carved by hand. The carve pattern can be acheived with a round nose cutter and it will be run as the last cut sequence because it will just simulate the hand tool cuts. If the spoon is done using a jig, you can flip it and rout the other side as well adding the effect in both sides. Then a light sand will make the simulated cuts blend and look more natural.
You can hold the wood down with your fingers closer to the scrollsaw blade, fresh blade and masking tape on the wood to lube the cut. Dont force the cut, just let the blade do its work.
HOBBITS REPRESENT !!! That's how they roll in the shire, love the handmade one honestly. I remember when I lived over in Turkey and learned how to make spoons by hand, no tools, just a pocket knife. However, when it comes to batching out stuff, you can't go wrong with the CNC... I have one sitting in my shop I will be assembling and using, figure I'll roll into the new year with some "new to me" tech lol. Keep up the videos, really liking them and hopefully this doesn't come across too weird, but your voice is relaxing to listen to as opposed to many of the lumber jocks out there.
Looks awesome, great job on the streamlining process. I am a fan of white mineral oil for wooden spoons and butcher blocks, but the tung oil really brings out the beauty of the wood 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘
Nice video! i stoppt at your cannel the frist time. good content ! i like how the CNC parts turn out.
Thanks a lot!
Nice work, here is a tip for the sanding, change the program to leave an generious tab on the spoon end and the tail end. This way you can set the spoon in a lathe or drill press to spin the spoon on a live or dead center to sand the handle sides. Good luck
Great job!
I like the cnc spoons better as tea spoons. But the handmade spoon is better as a larger scoop, or a soup spoon, or something like that, because it's deeper and thicker.
Also, glad to see you're keeping the artwork in the channel! I think little interludes like that are a great way to incorporate it. Your art style is really nice and having your own little cartoon avatar gives a little extra charm.
Can't wait for the next one!
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate that. I'm still working out some things with my animation, but I figured I might as well start incorporating it now and then see what I want to change about it as time goes on
You might try Kutzall (brand) burrs for your Dremel. I recently picked up a few. Game changer.
Oh! I just looked it up! That IS what I've been looking for! Thank you!
Foot should place pressure on piece. The wood jumping up suggests that the blade is upside down. Burn marks produced by improper rate of feed and/or dull or dirty blade.
Ah, that makes sense. I'll try lowering the foot. Thanks!
I have a scroll saw pretty similar to yours I really like it takes time to get used 5o I'll give you that but keep playing with it and different blades but obviously it's easyer to cnc them out
There are a few more projects I want to try on it that require thinner wood, so I think that will be a good "intro to scroll saw" for me. Hopefully the skill gets built from there
Yeah for sure every scroll saw wants to walk a little in its own direction so you never really cut straight on if you get used to that it will help and watch how you force the wood against the blade from side to side you will see the blade bending hard and you can let up a little and try to work with the machine or get spiral blades and not worry about any of my hopeful advice lol
For cnc designs for cutting boards I learned how to use Inkscspe. It is free, and versitile. For a finish I melt one cup of bees wax and add to 4 cups of mineral oil. It sets into a buttery consistency. Apply liberally to the item, and after 24 hours buff with a soft cloth. Completely food safe and does not make a hard film that can be cut or scratched which would let water in.
Wait... you can use inkscape? I only used that for basic things so I probably don't know what it's fully capable of, but how do you give it the z dimension? And beeswax finish is great. I never though about cutting it though, but that makes sense. Probably makes it easier to go deeper into the wood. Beeswax is my go-to for shot and whiskey glasses because the alcohol tears through anything else that could possibly be put on there, and at least beeswax can be consumed safely in large quantities
Hey, your drawings are sneaking into your videos, nice! Can see the personality in the handmade spoon that's absent in the CNC ones. Could you add a little decoration to the handle to individualize them, or would that add too much work to making them?
lol, yup! Trying to add a bit of my flare to the videos. Also, it's a good excuse to sketch more and work on that skillset. Funny you say that about the decoration on the handle because my friend said she wanted to engrave a little logo for me and put in the handles. Great minds think alike I guess
Hi,
I'm new to your presentations and have enjoyed this first one. Keep up the good work and growing your channel. Consider using a router table or a router bit in the CNC to cut down on the finish work even more. A ball endmill would be a good choice for the inside of the spoon. It depends on the desired finished look you are trying for though. I'm curious about the respirator but I also understand if you prefer not to respond to that one. I have considered making videos myself and keeping my face off camera because of some cancer related facial scars.
Good luck with your projects and play safe. I'm certain that you're an inspiration to the beginners, all over the world.
Thanks a lot. I'll play around with the bits more. I grabbed these for the first round because they looked like they make sense, but now that I know what finished look I'm going for, I might use a different bit to cut them out. As far as the respirator goes... the main reason I use it is because I don't want to inhale anything that's floating around there. We do have a shop vac that's connected to most of the tools, and we have a somewhat solid filtration system, but it's still a shared space with about 5+ of my friends (and any guests they bring over), so usually when I'm working there's someone spray painting things off to the side or using a finish that's emitting VOCs... I just noticed I cough a lot less when I have it on. But if you're interested in making videos and the only thing holding you back is not wanting to show your face, then a respirator is also great for that. I say go for it and see if you enjoy the process! The great thing here is that there's a low barrier for entry and you have nothing to lose by trying. So might as well. Thank you so much for your kind words.
@@woodificould I understand completely about the VOCs. I've used a respirator a lot in my past because of styrenes. I have breathing issues these days from construction/remodeling. I ended up with pneumonia from a particularly nasty job and never fully recovered. I will be snowed in for 6 months soon, so not much will be getting done, but maybe this spring.
Good luck moving forward. I try to learn something new every day.
The hobbit spoon is the winner
You would do well to get a narrower blade for the bandsaw. You can usually get an assortment pack at the local big box store.
I had one but it snapped a few weeks ago and I never got the chance to replace it :( Although, I think all of them are due to be replaced because even this last one is pretty dull, so I might need to stop with the excuses and just get a new pack.
I'm new here, like the video and the approach. I wish you had a mallet though when you used your chisel near the end of the video. Not like you're hitting the mallet with your hand 1000's of times, but you can legitimately cause nerve damage using your hand / fist to bump/pound things in the shop.
Also, I can totally relate to "I need to prove to myself that I need this tool" and then immediately going to look for the tool on Craig's List!
Ooh, I didn't know about the nerve damage, but it definitely makes sense. I swear, I usually use it, but for some reason I didn't think of it here. Probably thought "this is a small enough job that it's not necessary", but my previous video was literally about how most injuries happen with that mentality, lol. Thanks for the tip!
great video , the Hobbit spoon is the one for me .
lol! Thanks. I have been enjoying making my coffee with my Hobbit spoon the last few days
Put your spoons and oil in a vac pot that will immediately speed up the job
Oh, that's actually a really good idea. I don't have one, but I think it's definitely worth getting it since I'l be making quite a few of these. Thanks!
Nice work, once you get familiar with 3D relief CNC carving, your quality will up 10 fold!! .
I do think you overdid the oil soak. Once "dry" Leave the spoons on kitchen towel and see how much more oil seeps out!
I've had that issue with butcher block oil before, where it looks "dry" but then stains things for the next few weeks. It was a learning curve figuring out when it's actually ready for use. Luckily I've never had that problem with tung oil because when it dries it hardens, so it's pretty easy to tell when it's done
Scroll saws don’t like thick wood 3/4 is really pushing the limits of the saw and the thin blades.
Handmade was definitely better, more character also need different blades for scroll saw. With the right blades it is much easier,
Hah, thanks! It's been growing on me the last few days that I've been using it. And yeah, it might be time to switch out my blades. The ones I have are getting too dull
Your videos & woodworking is getting better & better with each one you put out. All the spoons were "hand made" I saw you using your hands. I have to use CAD (cardboard assisted design) every time I make one of my miniatures...😁
lol! True. I guess by my logic, none of the spoons would be handmade since I used power tools for all of them. And thank you! This channel is mainly to document progress (and teach ppl what not to do by watching me mess up), so it makes me happy to hear that there's some improvement as time goes on
You got it kiddo; I'll always be watching out for your videos. It's better being a bad example than no example at all...😆@@woodificould
take off the guard and you can hold the wood without it jumping
CNC
I agree
Снимите респиратор, я должен видеть лицо своей будущей жены.
So the cnc is faster and more consistent. This should bring in more $$ to get more wood and more tools to get more $$. You are starting the cycle of business please be careful. I like the artison side of wood working but that don't pay the morgage, just saying.
This is a really good point and something I noticed when I first got monetized off ads on youtube. I went into the "I have to go pump out videos asap" mentality so fast, and it almost took all of the joy out of making these videos. I had to stop myself and actively decide not to do that. I was shocked at how fast it happened. Definitely something to keep an eye on
It's obvious this is not your cup of tea.
Ha, I see what you did there. Yeah, maybe. But I enjoy doing it, so that's all that matters
Hi! Another cis dude here to tell you how to do things better than you currently do them meow😂😂🤦🏾♂️
😂 And I love you for it
