I have been challenged by Jimmy DiResta, for our Maker Mob maker challenge, to make Jimmy's bandsaw toolbox with my own take on it. Watching Jimmy make his bandsaw toolbox, I thought, wow! he's making a CNC project on the bandsaw. So my first thought was to make the joinery and the parts for his toolbox with the CNC. I drew up a set of drawings that I could cut out on the CNC and I cut out all the parts and amazingly they went together. I guess I was following a good design. At the bottom of the toolbox, there is a drawer that can slide out of each side of the toolbox. I thought it would be neat if that drawer was on a rack and pinion system so you could turn a knob on the side of the toolbox and have the drawer open to either side of the toolbox depending on the direction you turn the knob. I made the toolbox out of the salvaged pine I got from an auction a few weeks ago and I made the gears and the drawer at the bottom of the toolbox out of some cherry I got from a neighbor a few years ago. The toolbox will be my new glue tote and I will fill it with all of the things that I need when I glue a project together. This will be really nice to have all of these items in one place

There should be a way to use the wood grain as a visual "fingerprint," mount a camera on the ceiling or the CNC gantry itself, take an image of the wood grain at three points, and then if you take the piece off and put it back on the table, the camera can find those reference points and adjust the gantry's coordinates to allow for any changes. That's more a coding issue though, something more appropriate for Stuff Made Here.

I don't think I deserve to think that I can give you an idea. Your engineering skills have fascinated us for years. My son and I have a 4x4 CNC table. Our projects often are larger than 4x4. We drill an index hole at some point then when we move the large sheet we re-zero to that hole. When your drawer slipped having an index hole or two might help realign your piece. I humbly submit my comment. We love your videos.

@4dthinker582 2 жыл бұрын

Nicely done Frank! Next time you are cutting tenons (pins) in the endgrain of a board use a clockwise profile with an upcut spiral around the perimeter of the board. Center the bit ON the vector outline of the board, or slightly farther out if you have a narrow shoulder. This will leave a clean shoulder with no tearout. All following cuts around the tenon(s) can tearout but will be clean when down to the shoulder. 4D

@frankmakes 2 жыл бұрын

I was wondering if an up cutting bit would be better. My test piece, that I did not show in the video, got shredded. I was using a 1/2" down cutting bit.

@4dthinker582 2 жыл бұрын

@@frankmakes I use 1/4" diameter spiral upcut bits unless the tenons are longer than the 1" cutting edge. I do the outer clockwise profile to make the shoulder then can usually follow up with profile cuts around the tenons. If there is more shoulder to cut down to I create pockets around that area then cut it. I also usually leave -.003 allowance between the tenons (smaller) or the mortises (larger) they fit in. Same vectors outlines for each just copied to the mortise job. Usually that gives a good slip fit with room for glue if my bits are the diameter they claim to be. 4D

@jpsimon206 2 жыл бұрын

I'm very interested in linguistics and always jump at the opportunity to learn industry jargon. I have been a machinist for a long time yet these terms precise definitions were new to me until I was recently enlightened by a viewer on another video. On the off chance that you have the same interest, I'm going to share what I learned. A gear by definition, transfers force by use of its teeth. A rack is just an infinite gear. The consideration of using dowels sort of like DaVinci's gears, would technically be cogs. Apparently, a cog by definition transfers force by use of the spokes. It is irrelevant to the definition if the spokes are on the circumference or at 90° to the circumference. There is also such thing as a cog rack. If you can imagine for example machine chain being used as the track for sprockets to walk along it, that would be an example of a cog rack. Maybe this is meaningless pedantics to you, but I was very happy to learn the information so I decided to pass it along

Love the movement of the bottom drawer! Now to finding a clever way to never eject the drawer unless you meaningfully want to disassemble the box. Maybe there is some room under the drawer as a cut out that some stops can be placed in V2. So there is a hidden pocket that drawer has with 2 different sets of stops. If you can hold off from installing one of the lengthwise panels until the drawer is seated, then the side can be added as one of the final steps.

@JimPeachley 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Frank. Could you incorporate a couple of locating holes into each of your CNC plans, where your bit initially pokes two holes at opposite ends of the base material? Then if the base material happens to slip out of position, you could start over by resetting the program, positioning the bit at each of those locations, tightening down the board in its original position and starting over. Is that as unclear to you as it feels to me? LOL. Really enjoyed your spin on Jimmy's design.
