Enjoy this video? Fantastic! Do me a favour and follow me on Instagram - @dpmakestuff. I do giveaways and you get to see what I'm working on every day. Thank you!

You make me com.... you make me complete... you make me completely happy. I love this project. Great work.

I have like absolutely 0 clue what you're doing until the very end and it's always a very magical experience. I rather enjoy it not being explained, which is weird, but probably good because the videos are easier to produce! Although, you do a LOT of different shots so maybe not.... I'm trying to say I like your videos in a very complicated way.

Batman has great toys! One man helps feed the world! Very inspirational video. Thanks.

A rare sighting, the Metric Diresta does exist! Excellent work, absolutely genius

An excellently thought out solution to an awkward problem. Will be using this, thanks for posting!

A minute in and I had to quickly click the subscribe button. Excellent tutorial!!! Guys you MUST watch all the way to the end (very funny).

Awesome project. Get a big chunk of aluminum and make a spoon. I'm disappointed the final shot wasn't of you eating soup with the spoon. Keep killin' it, Dustin.

It's good to see somebody else squaring everything. Great video. Cheers.

great video, great work... last part is the best, hand carving while the machine is running :D... I completely understand

Cool video, when I think cnc I don't immediately think about spoons but it just goes to show how versatile a tool it is in the right hands.

Those are some really nice spoons! Outstanding!!!

I love the reuse of the replaced parts. Great idea for the fixtures to hold the blanks!

The clamping system and how you set up was top notch. Always enjoy seeing a DP video❤️

Great process documentation! Whenever you need a gift idea now the productivity of other projects doesn't have to suffer. Haven't read deep into comments, but I'd imagine other spoon or fort types aren't too far off now.

hahahahah the last scene made my day :D great work as usual!

Nice job Dustin I liked the way you improvised in the old framing hats off to you. Neat job all in.

Clean and neat workshop

bloody dope man. kudos. great idea for the jig

And just when I was about to go power through some of your classics, I am greeted with this wonderful surprise!!!

Now that’s a class act!👍🏻 Another awesome job Dustin! 👏👏 Thanks for sharing!

Definitely was digging the background music @ 8:32 !

They turned out great! Love how the beeswax finish looks.

I like the use of the makerslide. I have some spares sitting around I may be able to use this idea. Thanks. Everybody wants spoons. Don't they?

Hi Dustin - this is brilliant!!! I'd love to try to make one of these spoons - would you be willing to share your CAM file? Thanks!

Haha, last seconds of the video!!! Very cool project!!

Spoontacular!!!! Can I say my favorite part was the custom hold down?!?!

Another diamond squeezes its way out of the deeeep dark pits of the youtube algorithm to show me something I actually did want to see. Sweet video, I'm going to try that with my machine...

Amazing idea, thanks

Very clever... and nice result !

Wow. Came for the spoons, stayed for the CNC. I'm going to ask for one of these for Christmas.

thumbs up for the tap drill charts I have as my desktop back grounds.

That is such a good idea and cannot wait to try this

That's a fantastic job! I love seeing other people expanding the capabilities of their home Cnc machines. I'm in the process of making a similar pin system with t-track for my shapeoko. Considering the odd shape of your blanks (conservation of materials) What location/position did you use for your zero? So far I've limited myself to a squared up piece of stock.

Fantastic! AvE would be proud!

Pretty cool :)

Very nice jig. I was actually looking into a CNC to batch out spoons as one my biggest time savers.

You have such a makers mind. Truly gifted!

One of the best videos I have ever seen.... An inspiration for makers

I am a retired CNC machinist. Live tooled, twin spinal. Who in the Fu*ck wants to make spoons that way. The beauty of making a useful natural useful home item is to make it by hand. Why not just buy it from Asia by the thousands.

great idea and execution!

Good editing style. Fast at the tedious bits. Slow when it's important. Sound level control for the machine noise is at a good level. 👍

Great Scott! That is awesome!

Awesome jig and great video!

Another Great Video.

Awesome idea. I was thinking you were going to implement a servo or something to rotate the piece. WAY simpler the way you did it. Love it!

The CBC upgrade is amazing and the spoons they look stunning!

Cool jig!

Dustin! I'm glad to know that you're alive!

Nice work Canuck! Love the index jig. I carved a big sauna ladle by hand, I'm going to try one on my CNC over the winter. I drew it it Rhino already.

Those turned out great! Nice work and cool idea :)

Beautiful!!!!

OMG! So jealous of your tools!

awesome jig and great vid man!!!

Andys.wood here showing my appreciation for your talent and amazing ideas. Also adding another entry to your giveaway aside from instagram

Cool set up. Very interesting video!

Brilliant idea!!! I'm definitely copying it!!! Nicely done Dustin...

Mad Genius you are!!!!

Is the file for the spoon available? Thanks... I enjoyed the video!

Great project

Cool trick with hot melting the nut into the knob!

Great work.

This is an amazing setup very well done, I found your video because I am wanting make a spoon as well using my Xcarve cnc and i couldn't find a good file to use, what software are you using to run your cnc? I'm still using Easel software.

Should do a video where you show how to make the G code file for the cnc to cut out the spoon

This is very cool but how do you keep the router lined up? Like how do you determine the zero for each side. In your video it looks like it is way off in the top right off the of the piece.

I like the jig. But don't the holes need to be made by CNC as well, so they are exactly on the part axis...? If you make it manually, one side of your spoon will be thinner than the other, unless you are as precise as your CNC. Did you have this issue?

Nicely done Dustin. The work holding was a very elegant design. You can do some pretty amazing work on the xcarve if you spend some time dialing it in.

Ingenious !

Cool idea for making spoons! My favorite part was actually you making new handles for the clamps. That was a "Duh" moment for me. Needless to say, I will be making my own from now on.

They really came out great!

I was gonna buy one from u and you riped it hahaha

Nice. Cool first project on the upgraded XCarve. I really enjoyed the processes it took to build the jigs and then making of spoons. I hope I can win one, thanx for the awesome vid. Great job! #cantstopwontstop

I like watching your program very much.

Dude, that clamping system is top notch! Gonna have to “borrow” that idea!

Smart ideas

I see spooning is your thing, would've guessed cuddler. Now robots to do... nice!

awesome, very well executed! nicely done 🤓👍

Now that was some good viewing right there

SICK !! :O well done !

Nice video. Love the spoons. Do you know the name of the song being played at the end?

Good... Very very very good work!!! =) I liked it +)

Outstanding project young man, so enjoyed the meld of mind and machine.

Hey man, great video!!! I’m looking to get more use out of my x-carve. Would you be able to tell me how you program for 3D milling? I can only reliably do 2d.

I am curious about the strategy used to model the 2 sides. I would like to see a video that answers the following questions but would settle for a written explanation. 1. Did you model the spoon in 2 "halves" with completely separate gcode files for each or did you model the complete spoon, then virtually cut it with a plane to create to separate objects or what? 2, What would your strategy be if you were making something symmetrical in the horizontal plane rather than the vertical plane like your spoon? Would you model only half of the object and then mirror it to create the other side? 3. How would you plan your reference points so that they ended up lining up perfectly? Did you somehow define the center line through the reference pins of your jig as your reference? The project I have in mind is a sailboat rudder with a NACA 0012 foil shape. My background is in 3d Printing and I use FreeCad for my modeling.

супер! мастерская классная

GENIUS!

he got all I needs

Love it!

Nice! I think that the community is really expanding the boundaries of the Inventables X-Carve. Adding the jig there in the center of the worktop is smart. What was that BIG BLOCK of plastic that you used for the jig? Where can I get some? I see possibilities (or maybe I need coffee).

I might have to get a CNC because of this video.

Haha Dustin that is sweet nice work

I have seen this video hundreds of times, and it is only now that I realize the joke. In the introduction with the story of i made this spoon with a knife and FORK ** & * () Beeep. LOL, And then the same intro with the Cool sign. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

How did you line up your X(?)-axis zero point with your jig?

Nice one DP, what a difference bees wax makes

Thank you Kanye, very cool

These are really nice! How long do you think one took to machine on your X-Carve?

Well done! Wish I had that skill with my X-Carve.

Genius it gives me more ideas

Great idea Dustin! Well done! Abraços do Brasil!!!

little off topic, where di you get that clamp, or what is it called.
