We make these for the tourist trade on the big island, they’re stands for painted glass hemispheres.
Knocked out about 30 of these in a little over hour (machine time). After that, about 5-10 minutes of sanding each, combo of spindle sander and hand sanding, depending on the wood species and some wood burning for the logo. We have considered going laser for the logos, but the wood burning gives them a more handmade look.
The CnC gives me a much more accurate profile and cut my sanding time roughly in half vs using the bandsaw.
Thanks so much. I may try to put a threaded insert in there, as well, but figured you were using a treaded rod and the wing nut to expand it… So based on your pick and description this makes perfect sense.
Not sure if this “rates” as a new project but I picked up my Journeyman exactly one week ago! I’m already enjoying it. Got the fold up table set up with the Masso mounted on the fixed side portion. Now I just need to get started on a “real” project.
Needed some way to keep the newest addition limited in his access to unpuppy-proofed areas and keep the wife happy. Wish I’d thought about this with the old dog and rushing the delivery man.
