- In this video I use my CNC to make a 2-foot square puzzle chessboard with walnut and myrtle woods.

Another fantastic project, Rob. I can't wait for the next one!
Very interesting to see the puzzle piece design process. And that board came out fantastic! Also, congrats on the new grandchild!🎉
Your method of editing the final shapes is priceless. Thanks Rob.
Great job Rob as always. Well done my friend. 👍🏻
Rob, great build. I always learn something about V-Carve from your videos. Thanks.
Amazing detail, as you always do, Rob!
Rob, thanks for the great explanation on making puzzle pieces. I've been struggling with the exact same issues making heart shaped boxes. I have noticed the V-Carve doesn't always hold the exact same shape when doing an offsets. Also, the offset shape is always a bazillion straight lines instead of equivalent bezier curves which is really annoying! The other issues I am seeing is when cutting, different bits require different tolerances to make the same good fit plus I'm cutting on a Gatton and there is always a tiny bit of flex that seems to be just enough to throw off a perfect fit. I need to reinforce my gantry uprights to stop some of that flex.
Yes - there will always be some flex (also in the bit, not just the gantry). I know of a guy doing puzzle pieces on a top end Avid, and he noticed that flipping over every other puzzle piece made them fit much better. My guess is that there was a little bit of runout on the spindle/bit, and the further away from the collet, the more pronounced the runout.
Wow, awesome project!
Cool design...can you provide the original SVG source or the image for the first puzzle piece? I imported and scanned a random puzzle piece and mimic your steps but my imported scan is not working out well. I create the 1/8th and then flip it, join it and then create a mirror for the bottom but now top and bottom are less than 3" so cannot create the sides? Pretty sure not explaining well but guessing it is my original puzzle piece is the issue
Great project Rob, the end result looks really nice. I'm assuming for the edge pieces, you snapped a straight line. You mentioned that you might do a different game board on the other side, If you do that, do you think you will run the risk of damage on the other side when in use? If not, then maybe a Wahoo game board for the other side. Congratulations on your new Grandchild. Regards
Yes - exactly right on the edges. The other side is already done - lots of epoxy work. Hopefully I will have video for the other side ready to release on Saturday.
Sounds good, I enjoy your videos
Do you cut on the line or outside the line? Sorry, newbie here.
outside the line.
