Get you a sheet of 3/4" plywood and lay on top of the tablesaw. That's what I do and it helps a ton to have that extra surface. Stays on tablesaw all the time unless it's being used and then it's easy to simply lean up against the wall until you're done......And holy cow! That piece turned out amazing. Well done!
That is a beautiful plaque! Well done! I am a woodworker who now lives in Arkansas but I lived in Colorado Springs for 27 years and sold at many events there such as Spring Fest, Territory Days, Folk Art Festival at Rock Ledge Ranch, etc. I miss being able to go to CO Lumber and buy pretty much any type of wood imaginable. I lived in Banning Lewis Ranch on the East side of town. It's great to see a quality woodworker from Colorado Springs on UA-cam. I wish you the best of luck with your channel.
Wow! That is beautiful! I hope to be that far along at my 2 year mark...I love that you talk over your video. There are a lot of amazing woodworkers out there who don't talk and I have a hard time watching them because I wish they would explain their reasoning and thoughts behind what they're doing. Keep it up
2nd video of yours I've watched and just as impressive as the first!!! 2 years experience?!?!?! Pretty sure you fooled everyone watching...you're stuff is that of a seasoned pro! Well done!!!
You can talk all you want. IMHO your voice is just fine. Nice to see another Colorado Maker! Oh and the build is just wonderful. Thanks for sharing. New sub here.
one trick I have found to keep purpleheart purple and redhart red and yellowhart.... well you get the idea is dye of the appropriate color. it doesn't change the color of the underlying wood-generally I can't tell the difference between dyed and undyed wood. however the dyed wood doesn't oxidize anywhere as fast as undyed wood. I use a water based dye. voice sounds fine
Great Great Job ! Sound is great,, no Background or static,, nice and clear ! But the Plaque id awesome ,,, I'm Positive who ever recieved it was Touched and very appreciative ,,, and Bottom line , that's worth it all !
Dude, your videos are great and the discussion style voiceover is spot on. You mentioned not having a dedicated workbench and use your table saw. Try taking a nice piece of flat plywood or MDF and double it up to 1.5" thick and cut it to fit your TS front to back or a little over then however wide you want it. Then put a runner on the bottom to fit the miter slot. Put a couple of stop blocks at the end of the runner to make it "lock" in when you set it down. Then you could put in some T-track or 20mm or 3/4" dog hole like an MFT. Wax it up and it would make a great work surface and TS table protector.
Great video! Awesome plaque! When you explain what you are doing as you do it is far superior to ones where the author takes 5 to 10 minutes to tell you what they are going to do, before doing anything! I am a new subscriber.
Absolutely beautiful! I am sure whoever received that piece was ecstatic. I thought the sound quality was great, and your woodworking skills are excellent. Great job.
Nice outcome. Gluing the flag and plaque into a recess with no room for expansion of the wood could be an issue depending upon a customer's home humidity levels.
Thank you for a most excellent video. I learned a lot. I do a lot of projects and own a CNC Mill (5 axis), CNC laser, all the major woodworking shop tools. You've inspired me to make this project! I'm retired military (US Army Ranger) so the American Flag is very important to me.
Mic sounds great to me. Just found your channel today. I'm very new to the cnc stuff but enjoying the learning curve. Not only is my miter saw in the floor but so is my table saw. lol. Beautiful finish on the flag I especially like the cribbage board. Also enjoying your format Keep the content coming great stuff
Nice design. I do have a few suggestions on the stars to make it look better and save you time. First, if your software permits, I suggest projecting the star v-carve onto the 3D surface of the flag. This will keep all the star sizes the same and at the same depth. Second, I suggest painting the stars before sanding the flag as this will save you an additional sanding step (unless you really like sanding - lol). Steve
Thanks for the tips! Fusion360 has been a pain for 3D modeling. I was able to use the pencil tool that projected the star cutouts with the 3D surface. I think my zero was funky moving into it. The biggest thing was I over sanded the stars which gave that size differences between them. Anything to prevent more sanding is definitely worth looking into. Side note, my next one, I'll leave the stepover greater, giving it larger defined machine marks. I think this will give it a cool texture that almost mimics cloth. It's worth a try. Thanks again for the feedback! Cheers!
@@EricksonWoodworking I tried the CAM portion of Fusion 360 and MeshCam for Alibre. Having already been using Vectric V-Carve Pro for about a year, both of these CAM programs seemed obtuse and difficult to use. The downside to Vectric is that it is not a CAD program.
Beautiful. I have my first CNC on the way and have been using the wait time to learn the software. I decided to go with VCarve Pro for now. I’m curious, could you have decreased the step over on the finishing pass and / or used a smaller diameter bit to decrease the sanding required? Obviously would make the carve longer but… god I hate sanding LOL
Love this! Would you be willing to share your Fusion file? I want to make something similar for my dad (a veteran), and while I’ve seen a few examples of flags out there, I like the pattern yours uses to carve. And your voice is great, btw.
Thanks!! I'm currently organizing all my Fusion 360 files and getting ready to post them to my Patreon account. I am hoping the files will be ready for all makers to use and provide additional support within the Guild I'm building. The link to my Patreon is www.patreon.com/EricksonDesignandWoodworking
amazing work, if you ever feel inclined I would love to understand how you programmed the cnc to make the "wavy" stars. if you did the stars and then the curves of the flag, the stars would come out distorted, I don't understand how you programmed it to work. really impressed
Use some paste wax on your clamps, glue won’t stick
I like your voice just fine. You’re easy to understand. I learn and remember better if you are explaining as you are working. Thanks!
Terrific work, very inspirational. I appreciate your voiceover work. Very "every man" feel. Keep'm coming!
I don’t usually leave comments, but that looks absolutely awesome. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
Nice video. I like the voice over without any annoying music repeating the same lines over and over and over... Keep up the good work.
Nice design! Rubio Monocoat only needs one coat hence the name. Rubio doesn't stick to itself. You are spot on thought it is awesome product.

I wouldn't have noticed the sound quality if you hadn't mentioned it. Great work (from the UK).
Cheers!
I can only comment in one word, "WOW!" That is some great work!
Amazing work! I’m new at woodworking. I enjoyed your commentary. Great job! Thank you
Solid work! I enjoyed your commentary as I’m a new woodworker myself and learning how others do their work. Thanks!
Without fancy machines lol

Plaque looked amazing great job. Mic wasn’t bad from my side.
great job
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful is an understatement. Love the commentary. Your work is a joy to watch and learn from. Thanks
Great video! thanks for sharing.
Absolutely magnificent! CNC really does a great job! I love the colored woods!

Thanks! Colorado has been huge in creating the landscape scenes for the marquetry. Love the mountains.
Beautiful flag. 😉😉
Thank you! Cheers!
You do a great job narrating. I found this video very informative and entertaining.
Thank you very much!
Awesome !!! I like the narration after the edit of filming . well done
Muy bueno tu trabajo feliz día de la independencia

Sound quality was fine by me. Great job....looking forward to more videos!
Awesome! Thank you!
WOW..........Subed
Ordering my Shapoke 5 pro 2x2 soon
Need more videos about CNC please
Regards, Rick
Thanks Rick! I’ll be doing more CNC style videos. Thanks for subscribing!
Nice outcome. Gluing the flag and plaque into a recess with no room for expansion of the wood could be an issue depending upon a customer's home humidity levels.
Great point! Your right though, the flag had some good space for expansion, but the plaque did not. I'll edit the design for this one.
Thank you, we have learned a lot from you...we can feel your passion in explain your content about CNC router project in detail..Great job!! ☺🧡
Thanks for the kind words!!
Damn my guy so cool I make them all by hand but that is just next level much love brother
Thanks!
Great job thanks

Awesome, thank you!
I don’t have a CNC, so I’ll have to come up with a different way to do the waves. Probably some heavy grit sandpaper to make the dips! Thanks!
You comentary was good. Great video. Keep doing what you are doing.
I appreciate that!
Good Job Man!! I Like it
Was nervous for you at 8:33 and 8:43 but, fingers still intact thankfully... excellent quality work. Time and effort pay off, every time. Well done!
Very cool great job

You’re good at talking. Good normal voice, not too monotone or lacking in energy.
Amazing work
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video. Where can I get that file for vectric?
Beautiful work
very nice result, best video yet
Glad you think so! My next cribbage video is going to be really unique!
it's messy because you use about twice as much glue as you need...lol
Love the flag man, nice work.
Yeah that's an understatement! I hate glue!
amazing work, if you ever feel inclined I would love to understand how you programmed the cnc to make the "wavy" stars. if you did the stars and then the curves of the flag, the stars would come out distorted, I don't understand how you programmed it to work. really impressed
I would like to know as well! He did a beautiful job!
Posting in about an hour to show the steps in Fusion360. Stay tuned!
