Another nice small bench build

Posted on October 16, 2019 by robertwilkie

This is another nice, simple bench build. The plans could easily be converted to something you put on a CNC and if I figure it out right, can be down in a 1/2 of a sheet of plywood. https://www.familyhandyman.com/woodworking/projects/how-to-build-a-small-bench/

3D print your press brake

Posted on October 12, 2019 by robertwilkie

Interesting, the author using PLA 3D printed the template for a press brake to make a bunch of different shaped templates for the press. They seem to work pretty good too.

Posted on September 24, 2019 by robertwilkie

I like thsi build, the download file doesn’t include the slots thought. I wonder if the author put those in by hand. https://cutrocket.com/p/5a916d86a8ee7/

Nice Caddy Tote Organizer

Posted on September 20, 2019 by robertwilkie

I haven’t found too many CNC based projects out there that are free. But this one seems like a nice build. Too bad its build for tools, I would like to see it adapted for soda/beer holder. https://cutrocket.com/p/5adf9542c9d81/

One Odd CNC

Posted on September 17, 2019 by robertwilkie

The author build a CNC to cut on large, long, pipes. Cool build, not so sure I would make one…well why I would…maybe for custom totem poles? The author does it for making some interesting seats.

The author has a set of 3D printed out parts that you can use to basically turn your sewing machine into a 2D CNC. Interesting build. https://openbuilds.com/builds/diy-embroidery-machine-v2.8630/
