Creating a Live Edge Table with Shaper Origin
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- One of our testers Slawek Krauze is back at it again using Origin to build a huge American elm conference table for a client of his. He joins two huge live edge slabs with one long organic joint that follows the curvature of the wood. The winding contour is not only beautiful, but it also a allowed for a much wider finished table with less wasted wood. He has an interesting workflow here, he uses Origin to get the precise cut, and then comes back with a jigsaw and a larger plunge router with a following bit to cut out the remaining material to save time.

Love the modern look 'butterfly'. They resemble steel i-beams. Awesome.
Drop. Dead. Gorgeous.
beautifully done!
Keep it up! Looking forward for more videos from you, don't stop!
That looks awesome! Well done!
Awesome
Jaw Dropped
Awesome job
Nice!
Hat`s off to you junior...and that`s from an old fart who doesn`t often give compliments! That was highly inspirational, I raise my Lagavulin to you!
Just curious what was the cost of this table to client?
I hoping for hing leaf next time around
Beautiful! Job well done :-)
This is an incredible project! Would you mind explaining a little more of your process? Did you use the same line for cutting both pieces? Did you cut one on the outside of the line and the other on the inside? Did you use an offset and, if so, how much? The table looks amazing!
The richt way would be to cut one piece on one side of the line and the other piece on the other side of the line (given that you' re using the same line both times). I think this was done by using the same line but cutting on the center of the line ( 1:01 ) which results in a not so tight joint in the curvy areas ( 1:36). Another way of doing it would be to use the Shaper to create a jig for the contour and the use a set of special flush trim bits with different sized bearings to create a tight fit. If you speak german, you can check this manual (pim.ent.tools/ent-dateien/002_b_manuals/09040/09040_Manual_DE.pdf ). There are also some graphics inside to illustrate the process.
@@florianreclaire508 This may be a basic question, but can you "manually" cut a line with Shaper, but have it remember the line that you cut so you can duplicate it on the other piece?
@@OFFICIALUND It's a good question. I hope someone answers it.
Hello there from Germany.
I wanted to know about the thickness of the table an how thick the Metal H bowties are? Stainless Steel? What do you recommend when it’s going to be a 40 mm thick table (about the Metal H)
I’m not a fan of the metal butterfly’s, they look out of place with their hard edges IMO. But that’s subjective and this creation is an amazing piece of art. Well done.
Can you tell me what you did to finish it?
Not quite sure how you are mirror cutting the two sides with the irregular cuts to join the two together. Can you explain with a bit more detail? I see you partially cutting one, but not sure how you are then matching this to the other side? Is this using the Shaper to follow a path that is the same for both sides?
We scanned both slabs with Origin and in vector file program we drew a line trying to follow grain while getting rid of all dead dry rot sap wood. Origin is scanning your material with camera that is on board and than with that picture you can create any cutting path on computer. After we where happy with the look of one slab we did cut both slabs on outside of created line (closer to center) of the joint with Origin about 1/2'' deep. So yes we used Origin to cut both slabs. For butterflies we traced then on paper and than scanned that shape with tool. That created a vector file and I was ready to cut in minutes. To make it easy on myself after we did cut pattern on both slabs I did remove most of the waste with jigsaw before I cleaned it up with massive pattern bit and Festool router.Hope that answers your question.
I think I understand... but - it would be cool to show even a simple workflow of your process in a video - could be matching a random line on one piece with another piece using your technique. What you are doing seems like it would be next to impossible with any other tool. Would be great to see a step by step follow-on to this video just walking through the workflow you followed. I have all the tools and the origin will ship soon! Just want to understand the technique! Many thanks for sharing! Really cool technique and wonderful result.
Slawek Krauze how did you get the scan image into the vector program to draw the line?
Slawek Krauze so you scanned with origin, and then uploaded to a vector program to draw the cut line?
@@ronsb6 I'm also curiuos how you get the scan out.
I made it by myself thanks to woodprix plans. I think it's the best way to learn how to build.
