Vertical Holding for Wood Joinery - CNC KRMx02
You did an amazing job on this table!! I remember seeing a famous RUclipsr try this and he had many challenges.
Hello Patrick, thanks for watching and commenting!. I am enjoying you channel, but I have a question for you... When soldering a wire to a panel connector with a short bit of shrink insulation "waiting" on the wire, what is the trick to prevent the shrink insulation from shrinking from the heat of the soldering prior to moving it to final position?? I am working on retrofitting a Jianken 2.2kW ATC spindle to my machine.
@@richardevans6891 That is an excellent question and I think about that when I am soldering with heat sharing tubing. What I do is make sure I have at least 2 to 3 inches of insulated wire, and when soldering, that heat shrink is as far away from the soldering position as possible. I have done it with shorter insulted areas, but at times you don't need the heat shrink as long as there is insulation all the way to the soldered rigid connection. I really only use heat sharing when I put two cables together, rather than soldering to a rigid set of connections.
Very nice, thanks for sharing!
Great looking clock! Are you using washers on the ends of the brass spacer tubes?
Freaking, amazing, amazing. I love it. I love it!!! How much would you charge me to make one? And do I have to have the natural wood? Can I get it in black? Or in like a bamboo type of wood, I love it. How much would it cost to get one personally made?
Sorry, but this was a one- off project for a neighbor. I believe they are available for purchase from Mr Van Embricqs. His website is mentioned in this video's description. I recall he had a black version. Good luck.
I recently purchased the dxf file from HolzMechanik for the Magica clock. May I ask what software you run on your CNC? I am using Easel and so far I am not able to get the correct width for the outside and inside circles or the numerals. I have used commands for cutting on the lines and outside the lines and both cut the widths (walls) to narrow. When I simulate the inside lines the widths are even narrower. I appreciate any information you can share
Hello George, I use Fusion 360 for creating the toolpath G-code from the HolzMechanik dxf file. I then use Mach3 control software for the operation on the CNC. I am not familiar with Easel. The problem you describe sounds like an inconsistency between the diameter of the router bit specified for the g-code making, and the actual router bit used for the cutting. Good luck.
@@richardevans6891 Thank you very much for your timely reply. The dxf files says to use a 2mm bit which I am using; however, Christopher also sent me a link on a video for cutter compensation. I am researching this now and hope that gets me further down the road. George
@@richardevans6891 Could I email you outside of YT? I would ask about getting your Gcode for either the numerals or numbers as I am not able to get the radii to be equal or wide enough for structural integrity. Easel won't support G42 code (for cutter compensation) and I want to explore other options. thanks
@richardevans6891 Hi, amazing work. Can u pls update if it’s possible to order one piece for my home office .. and how much would it cost? Thanks a lot
Sorry but this was an one-off build for a neighbor. Not available for sale here. You may find it on van Embricqs website mentioned in the description of this video.
If the wooden Block is Rectangle or Square, Then make two diagonal lines crossing each then the cross will be the centre.
Will you send .SVG files?
With the slabs/strip, should it be the same width cut measurements as the cut surface measurement? eg. Slab width 31mm same as the cut measurements for the slab to be attached 31mm or it should be 32/33mm ?
Can somebody give me the measurements?
What's is your email?
Awesome. Finding the right measurements was very hard, but your video helped a lot. My table top was 21"× 38"× 3/4" Which put the: Pin at 11 (rounded" on slate #1 and #30 (half the size of the table depth)). Slate width of 1 1/4" ( x30 slates=37.5". That leaves .5" if you wanted thin spacers.) Hinges were 1 × 1.125( surprisingly hard to find cheap) Because of the awkwardness of the piece I ended up securing the table top and slate 1 and 30 to the wall and added one slate at a time. By doing this you can mark the slot length the pin needs to slide.
TIENES QUE SER MÁS ARTESANAL, NO TANTAS MÁQUINAS.

Wow. Youre talented. Well done sir!! A master piece!
Plz can you give me exact measurements
What is your email?
Hello Richard, This is amazing video Thanks for sharing I want to make this table but I'm confused how to Draw line for "D shap" ( measurements). Please tell me what is the length and width of "D" Shap. I hope you have understand my question.
Where is the hole located on the 1st slat for the 3/8" rod? Amazing build btw.
What kind of wood is this ?
All solid poplar. Thanks for watching.
what measurements did you use?
Cool✌️
Thank you very much for posting this brilliant work. I have been trying to modify the design in SketchUp Pro. I have a question on the 1" x 1" wooden spacers you mentioned in your reply to peterjordan5947 some two months ago. I was wondering if you used smaller spacers between slats in the middle of the Flow Wall Desk. I thought the 1" x 1" spacers would not fit at the top end of middle slats because the slot starts at 0.607" from the top of the slat. This distance (0.607") is shorter than 1" - the size of the spacers. Could it that I did not understand your explanation very well?
You are exactly correct. The size of the spacers must be adjusted for the slats toward the center. How did your project turn out?
Magnificent Workmanship. Congratulations to all Involved!!!

Great reverse engineering work. I've seen the original mentioned on Yanko Design and wished I could purchase it for my place where such a desk would be ideal. You show just how intricate the design is. This is clearly a case where a great craftsman needs great CAD skills and access to a CNC as well.
For the dowel, use your cnc. Mill hole in a waste board that you can press the dowel into then insert the dowel and drill with the router at the same x&y 0. The dowel has no option but to be on center.
Thanks for the tip.
Very nice design and tooling to make a beautiful ornament. Trying to figure out how to program the lettering on the outside of the ornament. I use the free version of Easel and also Carveco Maker and have UGS as the machine controller.. You have achieved a very nice crisp small size for your letters using a 15 degree v-bit. May I inquire as to the depth you used on the cut and was it fill/pocket or follow vector path. Thank you for any help you offer.
Hello, I use Fusion 360 for CAD and CAM. Fusion CAM has a tool path strategy called "engraving" which is usually used for lettering. The letter shape is represented by an vector that outlines the letter shape. The engraving strategy automatically raises and lowers the v-bit in such a way as to cause the edges of the v-bit to touch both sides of the letter outline. To do this for wider points of the letter the bit goes deeper; for narrower parts of the letter outline the bit cuts shallower. Thus no specific depth (other than a maximum depth) is specified. I am not familiar with Easel or Carveco. Look to see if they provide an "engraving" strategy. Thanks for watching.
Hermoso!! Reloj
Great ideas! How do you make sure the spindle wont hit the c clamps?
Awesome
Hi Richard, like others, I'm very interested in building this desk. Do you have plans or just a drawing I could purchase?
Damn thia grandpa is level master!!!! Using pc with CNC, Jes..christ!!!
Grandpa???
That is one Beautiful Clock Sir!!!
Did you have to sand the gear teeth after cutting with the CNC router?
Hello Charles, The CNC makes near perfectly shaped parts, but I used 220 sand paper to remove any fuzz left by the CNC. The holding tabs were removed with a sharp chisel followed by some sanding. Thanks for watching.
Fantastic piece thank you for sharing👏
Hi Richard. I dont suppose you know the length of each slat, obviously they're mirrored so just 1-15. That would be really useful
The first and last one is tricky due to the extra hinge point.
Actually I think I only need the length of the shortest slat and how far from the top of the slat does the slot end. I'm really enjoying this. There's no need for plans etc. You've provided hints and answered comments. I think with this info it should be buildable. Or at least have a stab at it and then fine tune it. The position of the rod is difficult if it's not right the table won't be flat. I've taken some screen shots from your video and trying to measure off that. But if you could provide the length of the shortest slat and the distance from the top to where the slot ends I should be able to calculate it and then confirm it with the measurements from the video stills. Thanks Richard
@@peterjordan5947 Hello Peter, In my desk implementation, shortest slat #15 = slat#16 = 24.000" long. The slot in those slats start .607" from top of slat (measured from the center of 3/8" arc at slot end). The slot stops 7.910" from the bottom of slat (again measured from the 3/8" arc center). This is all, of course, for my particular desk. I imagine there are many alternate formulations that will work. Thanks for watching and good luck.
@@richardevans6891Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I'm moving house next weekend but after I'm settled in I'm going to give this a try. I really appreciate how informative your video is and how you take to time to reply to all the comments. I'll let you know how I get on.
I had one more question but you've been so helpful I feel bad asking, so please don't feel you have to answer. But if you're feeling generous, what length did you use for the two short support pieces at the top of slats 1 & 30
Richard, sorry to keep on bothering you but I have an additional question. What spacing did you create between the “Slats” once assembled? Thank you again.
Hello Jim, my spacing was .050". This was achieved with about 1" x 1" wood spacers of this thickness glued to the slats. See at 14:50 in video.
what is the size of the wooden slats that slide clearly what is the section of the 30 pieces used please? best regards 10:29
Hello, My 30 slats were all 1.300" wide, and .943" thick. The spacer between the slats was .050" thick. Thanks for watching.
Hi i was very amazed by your work i am 15 years old and would you like to make this desk for my room but I only have a hand saw and drill can you give me measurements or blueprint to make it or can you make a video making the desk with only a hand saw and drill please please🙏🙏
Great job! Does the desk seem stable? How much weight would it hold do you think?
Desk is easily stable enough to use a lap top, or use as a writing desk. Have not tested the weight capacity. Thanks for watching.
@@richardevans6891 All of the weight of both desk and whatever is on it is supported by the two hinges on the blocks that attach to the wall, and of course the screws that attach those hinges. So you can probably work it backwards if you're building one. Start with how much weight you want it to be able to hold, then figure out how to get hinges, hinge fasteners and attachment blocks that can hold that much. Another point of concern might be the steel rod. It supports all of the vertical slats except the two outside ones, so if you put a lot of weight on the center of the desk, especially towards the back, it might begin to bow. It seems to me that would take a lot of weight, though, especially since to bow the rod would also have to press the outer slats inwards, and with the spacers there isn't much room for things to flex inwards. My guess is that the rod bowing wouldn't be a problem unless you were trying to put hundreds of pounds on it.
Nice work Richard. Can I ask was there a clearance on the slot width for the .375 round rod?
Hello Jim, My CNC tool path specified a width of .375". Then to provide clearance, I hand sanded the slot using sand paper stuck on a thin scrap of wood just enough to allow a smooth sliding fit with a test piece of rod. There was not a lot of sanding required. Thanks for watching.
Richard, Jim here again. I have another question. Was there any deflection in the center of your .375" rod based on the weight of the desk when placed in the open position? If so, how did you compensate so the desk became 90 degrees perpendicular to the wall? Were the slot locations adjusted accordingly? I use SolidWorks as my modeling package and can make all the necessary compensations as required. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.
Hello Jim, I made no compensation for potential deflection of the rod. In the actual operation of the desk there did not seem to be any apparent deflection. Good luck.
Amazing project, as an industrial design student looking for inspiration I really appreciate the quality of the work. I'm really glad I found your video, keep up the great work !
Thanks for watching. Good luck.
What are the length on each hole thats inside the wood?
Hello. The lengths of the slots in each slat #2 thru #15 in inches for my desk are: 1.660, 3.310, 4.945, 6.474, 8.047, 9.465, 10.763, 10.927, 12.816, 13.753, 14.496, 15.020, 15.371, and 15.481. Slat #1 is special; its "slot" is simply a circular hole with diameter of .375. The lengths listed above are the distances between the centers of the .375" diameter arcs at the end of each slot. Slat numbers 16 thru 30 are of course the mirror image. The width of the slots is .375" to accommodate the steel rod. Good luck.
Oh my God. I've been doing the maths for these slot lengths by hand using trigonometry. This saves so much time.
Hi amazing project with amazing result 😀 I would like to try to make it i figured out pretty much everything except the measurments for table top steps when you are starting from center how much are they going down? First i was thinking is the same but know i can see there is a different measurmen for each of those steps... I appreciate the help
Hello Vedran. The horizontal measurement of every step is 1.35". The vertical measurements of each step (in inches) starting from the center are: .087, .282, .426, .574, .726, .885, 1.052, 1.229, 1.419, 1.627, 1.856, 2.115, 2.413, 2.809, and 4.000. The total width of the top is 40.45". The total height of the top is 21.50". Good luck. Thanks for watching.
@richardevans6891 thank you I'm gonna try to change all of that in metric it's way easier 😀
@@vedranincanada Hello ! I am trying to do the same, did you success to change it into metric? :)
@@richardevans6891 You give 15 measurements here for the vertical measurements for the steps starting from the center. Does this mean we subtract .087" from that initial 21.5" depth of the desk for the center slat to attach to?
Hi Richard Love your work and explanations, I have been using Fusion 360 foir a few years now, also purchased 1212 cnc , I have been trying to build Clayton's Marble clock, having difficulty getting it to run smoothly, I was also thinking of building the no6, wondering if you would be willing to sell a copy of your fusion files, by any chance. thanks Simon
Hello Richard, I'm looking at it from Argentina, I would like to know if you have the drawing plans, you have very sophisticated tools, I would like to do it with more basic tools, I would like to have all the wood dimensioned. Thank you, your work is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.
Sorry, I cannot made plans available. Basic tools should be fine, though I think a router table of some sort would be almost essential for making the slots. Thanks for watching and good luck.
Nivel Dios, tremendo su trabajo.
Super helpful I saw this I wanted to make it and your video was incredibly helpful in answering some design questions I had while I was planning my build
What are the dimensions of the desk top and the slats? Also where did you buy the metal rod?
Hello Elbrahim, The steel rod was purchased at Ace Hardware, a standard item. It is 3/8" in diameter. The rod was cut to length and threads were added on each end with a thread cutter die. My desk top has a length of 40.45" and a maximum depth of 21.50"; thickness is about 1". Each of the slats have a cross section of 1.30" wide x about 1" thick. Good luck and thanks for watching.
@@richardevans6891 thank you so much. do you think this is doable with 3/4 inch thick wood? I want to do a test run with plywood before I ruin good wood. Thanks.
@@eibrahim It may be difficult to use 3/4" plywood because a 3/8"+ slot must be cut in each slat. Give it a try on a couple test slats. Maybe as an alternative some less-expensive construction lumber could be planed down to 1" for a test project. That is essentially what I did using poplar wood for a test project.
I am building it now. How do I know how to size each slot in each piece? I know they have to be different but how accurate do I have to be?
Are you able to share your fusion design? I don’t mind paying for it
Anyone have the file anywhere, to take to a CNC place? Haha I'm lazy and bad at stuff like this..
