Make a version that can cut 3dimensional surfaces instead of only flat cuts and I will buy a unit in a heart beat.. I can see architects, model makers and hobbyists flocking to buy that
Allen L Unlikely since the router already has to compensate for human error in the x and y axis. It probably couldn’t be accurate enough if you added depth. But that’s what traditional cnc machines or 3D printers are for.
I wish there were more actual instructional videos. I'd be interested in knowing how the top box was designed and made with its quasi-dovetails. I feel like Shaper was/is hoping for user produced content. I bought the Shaper and very rarely use it. It's very limited in what it can do effectively and efficiently. Lots of potential, but the lack of educational content is frustrating. Let's get that dovetail update and maybe my mind will change, but right now I'm very disappointed.
I find many of the videos on this channel frustrating to watch. I wish that there was some narration explaining what they are trying to do and how they are doing it. For example, I thought I saw some crisp internal corners zip past but there was not a single chisel to be seen. It would serve your audience and customers better if these videos were more informative.
could be a good catch. but i don't see any sharp inner corners. if you notice all corners are sharp only in bottom flats which is normal. everything else seems to be cut round to fit mill radius.
But that costs $1500 plus extras and does one thing. This costs $2500 and does a million things. If all you are doing is joinery, or money is no object, then I agree, buy the dedicated tool. But if you want to have flexibility, that’s what the Origin is for.
I have to agree with the comments about the lack of detailed instructions. Videos of Jake deeply concentrating while moving the SO go only so far. For example, tell us exactly what settings you are using…depth, bit type and diameter, offset, etc.
In case you didn't finish watching the video - which seems pretty obvious from your comment - it's a planter. Not a stool. When was the last time you sat on a cactus?
I always appreciate how your videos are a moment of Zen.
Perfect music for the video
I love it, would love it more if you had a detailed step by step video including the jig
Question Jake: What nominal clearance do you figure for the modified partial-depth dovetails on the box? About .004" / 0.1mm each interface?

Nice artistic video. I personally would like a tutorial video on creating the joints but hay will give you an A for effort. lol
Magnifique boulot !!

What does the tape do?
It’s common practice to use masking tape on soft wood to prevent chipping same idea of scoring prior to cutting.
not a real fan of origin. very nice project and video nevertheless. those tiny stepped mortises looked very japanese!
But there again that's the sort of job Festool's Domino was made for. And quicker, by far.

all fun until someone sits on this "stool"
