The first half of the kzfaq.infoUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.

$7.1K + freight if anyone is wondering. Don't expect anything less than $3-4K if you're a DIY. The beefy gantry, LM guides, and electronics account for much of the cost, and they're not cheap. I'd use SBR16 to cut down the cost and still be in the $1.5K-2K range for a 4x8 build. The easiest way to level the cutting bed is to run passes through a sacrificial HDF/MDF base. My pride as a mechanical/electrical/automation CSE in the semiconductor industry doesn't allow me to take that shortcut because the success of a multi-million dollar installation starts with leveling the base, or all hell breaks loose.

This doesn't really remove the art of woodworking, it just transfers the art to the design aspect. Is it for everyone? No. Nothing is, but its a good tool for creating intricate designs that would otherwise take tons of time or skill that most people today just don't have. Myself, I can see using it, but for now, I like the hand carving imperfections that make each piece a true "one of a kind".

CNC is definitely the "here and now" of any production shop but there will always be a niche for custom work, one-off pieces, refit and repair. This became the focus of my work a few years ago. I can see how a CNC would be helpful in creating quality woodwork, but it can't replace a master craftsman.

I could finish 4 units per day so there is that

As production costs for new stuff decrease, repair becomes increasingly untenable unless the old article cannot be replaced, like for like - historical or sentimental value, very old furniture. Even then the costs of repair might be out of reach for your average person. Unattended CNC operation is the holy grail of any manufacturing process. Either by having a table large enough you can set up a multi-hour operation or by having a robot load and unload the machine automatically. CNC's can automate and improve the quality of low skill jobs meaning you can focus more on your "art", the stuff a robot or a cnc simply can't do. They also open up a whole lot of creative opportunities to improve the work you do. Doing it the hard way isn't necessarily art. Sometimes it's just being stubborn and unwilling to learn. A bit Luddite you could say.

@@xm210c There's definitely some Luddites in the trade. But I don't think a CNC could restore the Louie 14th chairs I did some time ago. They're over 200 years old and worth saving. And like you mentioned, there's an aspect of art in hand crafting.
@JosuRibeiro2 жыл бұрын
It's a tool, it's not meant to replace as much as it's meant to assist. It's the same as saying a table saw wouldn't replace a master craftsman. Just because you can pre-program the machine ahead of the cuts it doesn't mean you don't need an experienced person to program, monitor and do the proper finishes once the machine is done. If you really think about it, I bet you could find use for one in your custom works too, just perhaps not the entire process, just like it would be silly to use a table saw for the entire process.

Cncs are here to stay, no question. I won't argue that they are super helpful for small businesses and creative design. I don't know if they are for sure the future though. The biggest reason so many of us are in the shop is the human element of it. We like to create with our hands and I think the cnc makes shop time more impersonal. While great for making a specific part that just couldn't happen without the cnc I don't think it can ever replace the buzz of a table saw or chips flying off the lathe. An awesome addition but not the entire shop in itself.

And to add to this: if cnc is the future of woodworking, then anyone will be able to call themselves a "woodworker" if they know the software. Hell, my 13yr old son who knows sketchup, through school, is a woodworker since he can easily convert the sketchup files to stl (cnc files) and work a cnc. He even knows how to do 3D printing. I don't even know how since we don't have a 3D printer, much less a cnc

Saves tons of time which in return makes money. I have so much respect for the ones using hand tools, and especially their patience and I love watching them work. I think for the ordinary Joe that loves building things and would like to turn that into a business ( doing something you love for work is a dream that I think everyone should have if that can) then this is definitely the way to go for the most part. I’d prefer to make epoxy tables for a living and have some woodworkers hate online than go do something I can’t stand every day just because of someone’s opinion. If it makes you happy, provides you with a living, and allows you more time for other things in life then I’m all in. I guess now it comes down to pricing your work to not cut out those who do everything by hand.

I think a combination of both hands on and CNC depending on the needs of a particular project, customer or client. I have questioned the use of CNC myself and at one time thought I would never use one, some people say it's unnatural and takes away from real hands on woodworking craftmanship and I get this, however after much thinking I've come to the conclusion that CNC machines may not be natural but they are part of a progression of nature because their still made or designed by humans who used craftmanship and design elements that only humans can do, so in essence, CNC is just another extension of human nature and it's just part of the evolution process, it still takes brains, thinking, talent and creativity to build things. it's not something just anyone can do or have interest in. So IMHO their is a good need and use for CNC, however, you could not use CNC to make an all natural rocking chair made of all natural tree branches so both world's of woodworking serve a purpose IMHO, not every project has the same purpose or reason or life.

While this limits me to only accepting four contracts per year maximum it also spreads the butter on my very satisfying bread….and puts the diesel in my truck…soooooo….I will drool over these tools and continue to do what I do.

CNC is the future of making money as a renter. $110 an hour and for a large slab, that would take a couple hours vs 75$ and hour and I can level a slab in 10 minutes for basically 40$. I personally hate cnc for flattening large slabs as chip outs and oddball patterns I have to meticulously sand out. I prefer the wide sander. If it's too big, then yes I'd go with a CNC. Do I want to OWN a CNC? Yes, yes I do but I have a love hate relationship with them. With that said, your take on it is valid - it's a great way to expand your business.

The best people get the flexibility that you are talking about. These machines release the creativity of these young CNC adherents. Do they understand all that experienced shop veterans know?

Congrats on the upgrade. CNC’s are here and not going anywhere. At the end of the day whether that’s a good thing or not depends on your approach to the work. If you are a hobbyist or someone for whom the process of making a specific or one-off thing is the point, then CNC’s will likely take away from what you are doing and why you are doing it. However, if you are a business or just focused on having and using a finished piece then the CNC will be great for you because it will allow you to finish faster, get paid more, or just flat out delegate much of the work that you may not want to do to the machine so that you can focus on the front end design and back end assembly, use, or sales. From a business standpoint, I will definitely get one someday and will use it proudly for products and parts that I want to produce and sell regularly. However, for personal projects and super custom commissions that I won’t ever sell twice, I’ll likely stick with the traditional tool kit. Also, my vote is to name the machine “Dog” because at some she will eat your homework or do something weird. When that happens, you’ll be able to say that the Dog did it.

Avid CNC used to be called CNCRouterParts and they've been at it for a while. They've been improving the design for years.

You are right. But where is the romance in this?

I'm not even going to lie if I had a CNC I would use and do woodworking by hand too. Just another thing to add to my garage. 🤷🏽♀️

I am interested but not convinced. I assemble a lot of Ikea furniture for TaskRabbit. I doubt that I could ever match them for design, quality, or price on CNC manufactured furniture. The only angle I could reasonably try for is to try to find a niche item they don't make. The reason I would be getting into woodworking or furniture building is, even Ikea furniture leaves a lot to be desired, especially for durability.

Good investment and my dream, the cost is relevant but market for its products must be available, woodworking has options and its the beautiful thing about it , for now I do believe high end shops with experience should take on it .

cnc and cad cam has been common place in manufacturing since the 1990. Either making it in metal or wood. Looking at where burning man has evolved too with the wood builds in the last 15 years.. CNC has been around for three decades in the woodshop, you just missed the machine sitting in the corner doing its thing. Glad you made it though.

Jonny, you were thinking of a name for your machine? Why not just, "The Money Machine". Think about it, you turn a crank, and money comes out. (Well, it's a little more complicated than that, but when you are programming your machine, you are, metaphorically, "turning the crank". Variations might be "Green Machine", or "Cash Cranker".

It would help if you defined CNC/explained what it is - some of us have no clue. I prefer to work on a small scale, rescuing old pieces and scraps of wood.

CNC stands for "Computerized Numerical Control". It's a generic acronym that applies to a variety of automated machines such as lathes, milling machines, laser cutting machines, water jet cutting machines, welding machines, to name a few. In the woodworking realm CNC is used in conjunction with a router spindle mounted on a rail system to provide horizontal (x and y axis) and vertical (z-axis) motion control. That's what your looking at in the video...a router that can move along x,y,z axes controlled by a computer.

It might be the future for rich people. Better for people who don't have the skill to actually do the work. who's got 15k they can just dump down on one tool

Build your own, I did. Some people I know leave HF with a cheap tool thinking how much money they saved. I leave Homer with a good tool thinking how much money it will make. Change your mindset and make it happen.
