Making Brass & Oak Award Plaques for DD Audio - CNC Project
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лют 2018
- Late last year, I was approached to make some awards for DD Audio. This is the story of those plaques, from conception to delivery.
1/32" 360 Brass Sheet - amzn.to/2FlKNn4
Brass Lacquer - amzn.to/2EV1IPI
My friend did me a solid by letting me use his Glowforge. If you're thinking about buying one, consider using his referral link: glowforge.com/referred/?kid=5...
It'll help him and by extension me, since I'll get to play with it more. :D

Awesome work, Winston! Glad to hear that old podcast episode of mine was useful for your pricing. I'd also highly recommend Made For Profit Podcast's episode on pricing. They've got it pretty dialed.
Thanks for the tip. I've been binging that series for the past 24 hours now. Perfect timing with WbC around the corner, honestly. Brad's got some super relevant topics.
Excellent video. Only one suggestion: do not use gloves on the router table. Small bits of it can get snagged and will drag your hand with it. Much safer to use push blocks or just do it with bare hand, being careful about feed direction.
I can’t speak for everyone who watches your videos but I for one love the quality and am happy to wait if that’s what you need to keep it up. The particular way you’ve gone about learning and the honesty in the way you share what you’ve learned is so very valuable to me. I’ve enjoyed all your videos to date and never been disappointed by the frequency you’ve released them.
ai Boffin 100% ditto
Great video Winston. Nice to see someone explaining the stresses of a production run, yet telling of the gratification afterward. Nice build and much thanks for the video. Keep up the good work!
Wow Winston. You've come such a long way in a short time. Thanks for sharing your insights and frustrations. Its amazing how much can be accomplished with just a little automation. Excellent work.
Awesome result and very pleasant to watch Winston! I just got my first CNC, so this is great inspiration :)
Best wishes!
Excellent job! Thanks for taking the time to make your videos, it was because of you I got into Cnc machining, I made my own Cnc, ran it loved it and moved on into a full size 5x10 Laguna router. Thanks again.
Your attention to details are phenomenal Winston. Thanks for sharing.
Winston,
Congratulations on landing that job and you did a fantastic job. The awards look great.
Jim
Great work, I love seeing your videos as they are so well detailed and explain the steps you take and some items you have learnt in the process
I just finished building my xcarve cnc and just watching you do your stuff makes me so excited to do projects with my new toy :D Also Awesome job dude, They look sweet !
this is an absolute gem. very happy you got this opportunity to show your skills.
Great idea with the reference pins Winston. I am going through a similar process and it’s fun to watch somebody else tackle it.
Beautiful work and welcome back, Winston.
Winston, as always is a pleasure to watch your videos. Keep it up! Greetings from Argentina!
Those diamond drag bits are so much fun. They come out great and they're way more forgiving than traditional rotating bits.
That’s an amazing project. Doing something like that for the first time had to be a bit overwhelming. I would have been anyway. You knocked it out of the part. They looked amazing.
Nicely done. Explained very nicely, too. Good job.
The mdf pallet system with pins was a nice touch!
Just great Winston! And here I thought you were a stow away on the Falcon Heavy! Glad your back....
Awesome job Winston. I always enjoy your Videos!
Beautiful work Winston!
Great work. Thanks for showing us.
Wow! Great inspiration for the rest of us!
Nice work Winston! These are so cool super inspiring
Awesome work as always Winston!
Willard Bros is a great place to get hardwood. I used to live near there when I was getting my master’s. Lovely part of the world.
Amazing attention to detail!
Beautiful result!
They look great!
i love that cnc enclosure. You should do a video on that if you haven't already. Will check your older vids and see.
Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing your process! (the gloves on the router table, though.... brave man indeed!)
In hindsight, probably not the best move. Rough wood and a cold shop don't always lead to optimal decisions, and with such a small amount of cutter stick out it didn't occur to me at the time. But definitely something to heed more carefully in the future. Thanks for bringing it up.
nice work! I have a suggestion for you when tapping acrylic or polycarbonate, I build fixtures at work and many are made out of acrylic or polycarbonate, I find that brushing a small amount of windex on the tap helps to keep the tap from loading up so much also seems to give a nicer thread finish! and windex will not harm the finish.
gloves on the router. your a rebel Winston. ~Cheers
:) great job. And thank you for the advice again
They look pretty cool.
Just found your channels and subscribed. Very informative videos!
Yeah, thread tapping acrylic is not always easy. At least when you get into the .5" thickness :D. I love your videos. So informative
Haha, yea. You have more experience with that than I do. For this project though I went a couple thou over nominal tap hole sizes, so things were a little easier.
haha I been using that piece of advice you gave me religiously! How many thou are you going over?
5-8. Hard to measure exactly because of laser kerf width and I don't have the right gauges.
As usual, good stuff (even though it's a wood project, lol). I personally wood have used 3M VHB tape rather than screws to mount the brass.
Excellent, thanks for sharing
Amazing work & vid!
Looks great. Love your decision of going with flat head brass screw. Would love to grab a cold one with you one day.
Love your videos man
I use a large metal trash can for dust collection they are cheap but you will have to use something to seal the lid tighter like hot glue.
awsome insight!!
well done, good job
great work
Try switching out E6000 with Loctite's Go2 Glue. You will get similar results with an easier to use glue. I switched to it two years ago and have never looked back.
That looks awesome, The only thing that I would suggest, is when you screwed the brass plaques on, to try to get the groove in the heads of the screws in the same orientation. But well done!
Looks good
Good job
Oktoberfest 😂 Cheers from Germany! 🍻
really nice ideas..
Nice!
hey from France !! great channel dude and fucking amazing work !!!!
Beer Hell yeah!!!
I like the videos where you tackle small run production. I have a single item I made which has gotten popular and I'm enjoying the process of refining and iterating the process. I also ran into the issue where the bit retracts for the tabs and it was quite frustrating, it's like each solution to a problem creates another. In my case I was able to get away with skipping the tabs as the tape workholding is sufficient but, would have preferred tabs.
Was the brass engraving done on the S3, looked like a spring loaded bit?
Yep, this one: benchtopprecision.com/diamond-drag-engraving-tool/
Hellowinston,
i note you using gloves with your wood machinerys.
As cabinetmaker i can said you gloves are to exlude with any machinery to ovoid any member arm or worse.
Antoine
What tape do you use to hold the parts down? Great job. I really like the design.
subscribed!!!
Hi Winston - looks beautiful....how much do these typically cost if you buy about 20? What should my company budget for, for a similar project?
You talk about making a jig with pegs to hold the speaker plates. How do you zero that?
Cool video! Be careful wearing gloves with tools like the router. The gloves can catch and then pull your hand in!
Awesome! What software do you use to generate your gcode, or do you manually modify it to change the direction it follows?
There's a drop down in Fusion360's CAM workspace that does it.
does anyone know where to buy acrylic sheets or plates ?
What else do you mold with that silicone
Inspiring vid! Subscribing!
something you mite of figured out by now. b4 adding poly first coat brush on some water let it dry it will raise the grain sand gain should be good.
As someone looking to make videos, how do you balance making sure you're getting good footage with your shop productivity?
So on these big projects, it's actually easier. I can focus on the first article first, get a feel for the process, and record on the second or third batch. By doing that I don't need to record the *entire* process and can focus on the interesting parts, transitions in the toolpath, etc. That's less footage to go through later too.
And eventually you just have a mental check list, like: "Make sure you get a shot of you setting up the stock." (I've forgotten that before.) But once you have that process, it's not that bad. My camera angles are all pretty similar, so I just switch them up to keep it interesting, other than that I'm kind of on autopilot.
Nice work. What is the hate side of e6000? I have just started using this in a few projects and would like your input. Been watching since the Inkscape videos and always find a tip or two I can use in my shop.
Just toxicity in general. Other than like wood/Elmer's glue, you don't want to breathe in vapors from adhesives and E6000 is notoriously pungent. I've had projects where it still has a faint odor after 72 hours. With my aluminum coaster project, I actually scheduled my glue-up day to provide enough time (including transit time) to ensure the smell had dissipated before delivery.
Winston Moy thanks, I am always cautious of fumes as my shop is like a shipping container
for gluing we cornvrted a 3d printer to a cnc glue dispenser
What did you mean by "indexing pins"?
what did they pay for each?
Is this the glow forge pro or standard?
Standard.
So you can't even mention the space X landing craft coasters by name now?
I can, but the project was really just a big headache though from a fabrication perspective and I still get people asking for them and I have to turn them down. Easier to leave it in the past.
Winston Moy fair enough, still sucks you put so much effort into them for nothing.
I wouldn't say nothing, just because I saw that video I was hooked and have been keeping an eye on his videos since :D still a shame though, it was such a wonderful video.
do your neighbors complain about the noise from shapeoko?
No. I don't run it past 8 or 9 PM. And I was in a townhouse where the units are adjacent. If you have a gap between houses I think it would be a non-issue. Especially enclosed.
15:43 why.......... you maniac... on of them are horizontal.
Hello,
what's the bit that you use for engraving text on brass?
Thank You.
Diamond tip drag engraving tool. I have a dogtag engraving video where I explain it all.

Than You :D
I have extra dust collector port I can send it to you if you like.
Appreciate the offer. I think once I get some vacuum hoses of the right diameter, and eliminate some adapters I'll be okay though. Thanks!
cool let me otherwise i'll be trashing :) its Ridgid Vac Adaptor Dust Chute #RG-827858
i like you
"mass production of 2 dozen" Bahahahahahahahahahahah
