Engraving an iconic Steve Jobs photo into epoxy using CNC machining. This was made using less than 3 quarts of epoxy and a scrap piece of plywood which cost $48.00. I designed this image on Vectric Aspire using the Photo Vcarve program. I used a 60-degree Vbit to do the cutout. This process took me 3 days of waiting and about 2 hours of work.

Awesome
Insane! I am just getting ready to experiment with my first photo v-carve ideas and your John Wayne and now this... damn. Very inspired now to really get going on this.
Wow that came out really great!
Man that's sick! Great job
Very cool I never would have thought. Keep making vids I think you'll do well!
Great work, thanks for the ideas.
That came out great 👍
Awesome, now something else i have to try on my Laguna cnc. Thankd for sharing
Great job well done, since john wayne I am waiting to see your way of doing things, I use aspire also so I will start in this process, a big thank you for your videos.
Nice work!
awesome and inspiring
Merci je vous suivrai tous le temps vous avez des idées de fou encore un grand merci Monsieur vous avez gagné un pouce et un abonné
Wow It's very cool. Nice job
well done really good business idea
Wow !!! Just an amazing quality job. The detail level is really remarkable. Mostly due to a good quality cnc machine , a smart software tool and a master operator like you are. Well done. Thank you.
Love your videos! Thankyou
NICE!
Good job
Trabalho incrível
that came out great, sub'ed
This is such a great idea! I can’t wait to try this Have you tried using adobe illustrator to do your raster file??
Thank you for the help - wasn't happy with my "wood" photos. Went to the epoxy with white base and black powder. Awesome! Wish I knew how to attach a photo to this comment.
That’s awesome!! I am going to start a discord soon where we can share progress and photos
Awesome work! thanks for the tutorial! Any chance you could do a video on how you finish a project like this?
After watching this video and the previous one of John Wayne and liking this one a lot better. Can you please list the Epoxy Resins that you used. There are so many available, that it makes it hard and potentially very expensive to determine which epoxies one should use. I have both VCarve and PhotoCarve, but I have another which I would love to try as it is specifically designed for recreating pictures into CNC Art that was around long before VCarve and its many offshoots was available and known as BMP2CNC.
Incredible! I've been trying to carve a photo that is 9" X 6" and I just can't seem to figure out what bit is going to make it look amazing. I'm not giving up, though. I'm inspired by your Steve Jobs!
Fantastic did you coat the wood with epoxy first? If so please show a complete beginner how you do it, I would love to do a picture of my brother as a present. Can’t wait for more videos. Thanks a new fan from England.
👍👍👍
If your epoxy gives you enough working time to clean up, drawing it around with a piece of threaded rod will give a fairly uniform layer & keep from under filling any areas.
I need more details. What did you cut it with laser or v bit. Was the black fluid paint or colored epoxy. What was the second cut made with?
Fantastic work!
How thick was your initial white epoxy pour?
Great, would you epoxy wood the same way or would it not turn out?
Hello dear friend Thank you for this good clip. I did your idea, but I had a problem in cleaning the surface of the paint. To be more clear, my question is: What tool did you attach to the spindle and use it to clean the surface of the paint? And how long should I wait for the paint to dry? (Do I have to wait for the paint to dry completely and then clean the surface, or is it enough to dry a little and then proceed to cleaning)
Bagus banget
Which solution you have used after carving.. And which programme you run after keeping that solution on carving
Hey man this is so cool. I'm trying to do something similar but with a house. I have a family friend who has to move out of there family home and I wanted to carve a 3d render from a photo. Is that even possible?
Wow great work. I'm new to this so when you say you fly cut it what do you mean by that pls.
What were your tool settings when running the fly cutter?
Thanks,
Roger
John Wayne ALWAYS went 100%
Beautiful job.
When you leveled the white, ran the file poured on the black working it in, then did you level the black to the exact Z height that you leveled the white at?
Thanks, I really want to do some of these.
Yes exactly!
Niceeee work bro. Keep it up love your work
Awesome job and that is a great idea.
I too enjoy photo V-Carving into Oak, Mahogany, Pine etc. but my results vary drastically.
I find that my selection of images has a lot to do with how well the carving comes out.
I’m trying to reproduce an old photo sent to me thru e-mail and not having much luck.
Have you any advice on
@@cutting-it-close Thanks for your reply. My best productions have come with Oak.
A hug from brazil, city of são paulo, make more vídeos , and resin you used?
which vbit you used, and how many inches is it?
You like raster better then Hatch?
Where you get the materials??
Hello, I am trying to figur out what is the type of this white material? Can You give me a link to it? Where I can buy it?
What type of sorcery is this???
how do you import the image/file you're trying to carve did you have to edit the image to get the most realism
so u did 1st white epoxy ,carve with these settings ,then u add black epoxy and run it again on same settings ?
he first added white epoxy to his board. after that he ran a 60 deg v bit to engrave the image into the white epoxy. next came pouring black epoxy on to fill the grooves. once that was set, he used a surfacing bit to clean off the surface to get rid of the over-pour on the black which just left the black that was in the v grooves.
Very cool. So is your second cut done shallower?
@@cutting-it-close I think so. The one that cleans up the Black.
@@cutting-it-close Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I got to tell ya I am some impressed. There are not to many people willing to help others out. All the best as you move forward. Too bad your not close. I’d be there day and night.
Randy
@@cutting-it-close Thanks, I. Emailed you folks about the speadsheet but I am not sure whom it went too.
So you just paste a picture into v carve/aspire and it maps out the carve perfectly? Or was the image pre designed in a way to be carved? Can I do this with any photo without too much trouble?
oha boyayı nasıl taradın
What color you use name pls
Whats you CNC?
what scrap piece of plywood costs $48?
hello it is possible to make the image and aspire 9.5
GREAT WORK! May I ask, what was your FLY cut depht to remove the black epoxy? By the way thank you for the lesson.
that was my question! this whole video changed my understanding of photo vcarve. here's my notes I wrote down after viewing this video "He fly cut to get the final image !!! No sanding and image came out great. He didn't say how he flycut. Maybe start high and move lower? You could keep cutting lower and lower till you get what you want. I still don't know how this would work. Isn't there multiple depths created by the vcarve? Maybe not, he used a 0.07 max cut depth so maybe the blacks are created by varying the width of the groove cut while maintaining the same depth. This would mean that the flycut method would work. You just need to get the right depth and you could find this depth by trial and error. Start high and then move lower. Maybe if max cut depth is 0.07 in then the cut depth might be 0.03 or somewhere near this." thanks, you have given me some things to think about. fly cutting makes this process much easier as I had been sanding to get to the final image.
@@abricayworkshop7030 Thanks for reply. Will do!
@@abricayworkshop7030 Hello, please answer my question in the comments section? Thank you
Do you think now you could have went to 100% based on how it came out?
Well that do a topographic map of Texas
Which software
I downloaded the last version, but it doesn't looks like this...the "raster" option is not there...and everything seems way more basic.
Artcam and autocad and aspire
I've done both ways... John Wayne and Steve Jobs. They do not come out the same. Either he's not showing us everything or it's photo shop. He don't give you how far he's sanding down in John Wayne one or this one . So I can't say for sure
@@cutting-it-close on john wayne did you sand the raised lines all the way down or just cleaned the lines and then painted and then sand the raised lines down? your help would be very appreciated i have to do one of a friends son who died of heat stroke this last year. no matter what i do it dont work.
nice. ive tried this in wood and not near as nice of results
Well done! Actually think it turned out better than the John Wayne you did previously. Looks like there is another one laying on ground - how many tries did it take to have such a good result.
where u see another one ?
MrCcfly on the ground - right side while he is first holding up epoxy board explaining what he is going to do. It may be a different picture or it may even be the same one with him filming the intro after he did the first version. I was just curious if it took multiple tries to get the right settings.
@@robsandstrom9854 y i see it now :)
May it will help me to.from India
Depois que você jogou a tinta qual procedimentos que fez pra retirar o excesso, fez um desbaste?
Eu acho que aqui no Brasil não vende essa ferramenta FlyCut
@@cutting-it-close No brasil trabalhamos com milímetros, não estou acertando as configurações, quais profundidades seria em milímetros? Eu uso uma VBIT de 90º de 0.1mm a ponta e 6mm de haste
@@cutting-it-close com essa vbit que tenho da pra fazer?
@@cutting-it-close I did not understand how it was the path that generated to remove the excess epoxy, I believe it is a fill, but the doubt is, how deep did you put FlyCut to pass, and if the Z axis was zeroed over the material ???
Do you sell this product?
So much of doubt 😂
Who would hang a picture of Steve Jobs on their wall?
epoxy last no longer then 20 years.
anything with epoxy is rubish.
1984, right in the palm of ur hand. 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
