Piedmont Plastics. There are several locations
Made a box for my shoe shoe stuff. A pretty big upgrade from the cardboard boxđ¤Ł
Did I need to use my Onefinity? No. Sure the drawer cutouts were candidates, but using a 90°v bit to miter the sides was a bit over kill and much slower than the table saw. Still. Whatâs the point of having a pet robot that cuts wood if you donât play with it?
Resawn 4/4 Cherry to do four corner grain match and a couple coats of shellac.

Looks great.
I have the same personal reconcilliation challenge, many things can be built by hand that can machined by a cnc and visa versa
I square it away by thinking that comparingthe CNC to a table saw is not too dissimilar to comparing the table saw to hand tools. Also that a large part of the effort is the design and toolpaths which is a skill not many have. The next big effort is the finishing. if you happen to make the design parametrically you have the ability to cut many variants of the drawersâŚ

D & D Master Screen that I made for my little brother.
Spalted Kentuky Yellow Pine wood.
Sides are 15" x 17" high, front is 30" x 17"
52" x 17" with sides extended (piano hinges on back so it can fold flat)
Tinted wood stain (sweated as it got applied, the grain likes to suck it up where it doesnât belong)
Tung oil on front and sides.
Putting dry-erase paper (clear) on the backside

Sweet work Todd. Did you make those models? Your brother is going to be the Dungeon Master Master.

I wish I knew how 3D models were made, would love to make them myself. Purchased STL files on 3D4All site, scaled them, and set them in bowl that was in Vetrix clip-art. Donât know why he wanted the Indian Chief but hey, itâs his board.
Font for raised type âDungeon Masterâ was found on dafont.com, itâs called âHeartlessâ
itâs a good site, hundreds of fonts, and a lot of their fonts are free
My brother has a 16 year old son he is trying to raise by himself, canât work because of congestive heart failure, and so heâs pretty house bound, D & D lets him spend time with his boy. His son and he play this once a week or every other with friends that come over or his son drives him to their house. I guess they switch off being Dungeon Master depending on whoâs house they are at
Iâd never heard of D & D till about a year ago (i must have been living under a mushroom I guess)
Heâs shown pictures to his D & D circle and they are all pretty excited to see it. Theyâve been using cardboard as a screen.
Getting the dry-erase clear film on Monday and hope to have it to him by Wednesday because this Sunday is a D & D day.

I played DND back in the day and still have my Dungeon Masterâs Guide. I would have loved to have that screen. Good on you for supporting them and nice work.

Mark Lyndsey does a couple very detailed videos too. IDC woodcraft does one a swell. Took me a little bit to get it down Good Luck.

So we had five feet of snow recently. After shoveling I would come in the house and empty my pockets on the kitchen counter, some screws, a broken bit maybe, coins, you know the deal. My wife didnât appreciate the mess and commented. I thought, I should take some wood out of the scrap box, true and glue it and address her concern. (my apologies if the script offends anyone, Iâm just trying to be an acknowledging husband that stays on point) The other project, unfinished, not sure what it is. I started with four thru dovetail sides and went from there. Ziggy influenced the kerfs on the bandsaw. Maybe I will add a convex box below with a wider and deeper drawerâŚwho knowsâŚ

Beautiful work Todd! I really like the coloring, gives it a real D&D feel.
I think making games for friends and family is one of the best ways to share our art.
I have it on my list to make some Magic MTD card boxes and some chess sets.

Very cool box! Love the Purple Heart!!

A family member wanted a simple wood box to store a pistol instead of the cheap plastic box and eggshell foam they come in.
An off the shelf piece of Menards oak and about 45 minutes in the machine turned into this. Plain butcherâs wax for the finish.

this can be done using VCarve in the modeling tab and using layers.

A friend is refurbishing a yard sale find dresser that is in rough shape. He asked if I would be able to make replacement âflourishesâ for the broken parts.
VCarve has an add-on pack which Iâll likely purchase, but I wanted a test first. I found a simple example online.
Scrap wood right out of the machine with no finish work. Not too shabbyâŚ
