Making a Spoon

- I modeled a spoon in Blender. Then I carved that spoon on the 4th axis on the CNC machine using Aspire. The spoon is about 14” in length and has a large paddle section with spikes on the back. I made a prototype at first by gluing up some pine scraps to make a big enough piece from which to carve the spoon. Then I made another version out of a maple block that I had. This was cutting great until the CNC machine for some reason flipped the piece around and started carving in the wrong location. I had to stop the machine very quickly. I then found a piece of red alder and I cut the spoon from that. I slowed the cutting process down and this seemed to help it cut the entire spoon, first with a roughing pass and then with a finishing pass. I'm not exactly sure what to use this spoon for but it turned out very interesting and it was a fun project. It also gave me ideas for future projects on the 4th axis of the CNC machine.

"Timber!!" That was awesome background video while on the radial arm saw! Do not EVER stop making videos, Frank!
8:10
For a split second I thought his workshop door was open and a tree was falling in his backyard. lol!
I came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed that cause it was so subtle! I'm glad others saw it too... (pun intended)
For anyone with a tough old Italian grandmother this thing would be a nightmare... Sends chills down my spine. I can envision it hanging on the wall in her kitchen with the label "Attitude Adjuster" above it.
In IT circles this is referred to as a LART: Luser Attitude Readjustment Tool.
My Austrian grandmother had a kochlöffel hanging in the kitchen that she would wield whenever my brother and me and my cousins seemed to need it....which was fairly often.
@@larryfisher7056 My cousins and i would spend summers with my grandparents. Every time we got the spoon treatment we definitely deserved it. I'm just glad she didn't wield this weapon of mass destruction. Lol
ha ha that's what it is
We have a thick wooden spoon dubbed "The Spoon of Destruction" that made the kids behave just by seeing it.
After all the time modeling, attempting, remodeling, attempting, and attempting once more... "What do I even do with this?" You had me laughing out loud when I heard that!
Another useless project :/
Great film working showing the footage of that tree falling you took down as you cut a piece of wood from that tree. Always a treat watching your videos Frank. Thanks
It might be good for making tomato sauce. The spikes would have a good crushing action.
Same thought!
I also thought this was its purpose. :-)
Frank thank you for showing your trials and errors in your projects vs just showing it perfectly working. It truly promotes persistence in my own projects. Love your videos!!
I love his narration and his learnings.
I’m thinking a back scratcher is in order. May need to use epoxy to harden the spikes so they can hold a scratchier point. Just a thought. Keep up the great work!
This reminds of a book called The Meteorite Spoon - it was one of my favourites when I was younger. Really amazing story!
I'd love to see a brief scene of you antagonizing your family with all your projects moving forward.
8:16 did a tree just fall in the backyard or am I dreaming? It is 1.35am in Australia so I could be dreaming 😴
I think that was the alder tree he cut down for the piece of wood he was using.
@@williamellis8993 ohhhh ok. Makes sense now!
With my limited experience running 4th (and 5th) axis CNC machines, I would suggest you look into a setting in your g-code post-processor called "inverse time". From what you showed, it looked like some of the moves were pretty jerky and "inverse time" would help with that a bit. I've done exactly what you showed in this video where you replace the Y axis with the A axis and I found that I had to turn the "inverse time" setting on. Essentially it interprets the feed speed a little different. Normally, the F value in the g-code says move from pt A to pt B at F speed. With "inverse time' it flips that and says move from pt A to pt B in F amount of time.
Lol. The best part is the tree falling over outside your shop. Maybe more wood for your awesome projects 😐 stay safe and keep up the good work.
the flashback of the tree falling in the background is ...well David Fincher would be proud!
failed attempts, broken endmills, sounds like an afternoon in my workshop! love the work as always
The bit starting at 3:40 may actually be the most profoundly beautiful thing you've ever shot. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but the combination of lighting, the finishing pass and the speed it is sped up to makes for total beauty. Well done Frank. Thank you for capturing those images.
Realy sharp edit! when I saw the tree🌳 fall in the window and everyting else👀 I saw, Good job Frank.💯
I’m glad you are getting some use from the Fairchild grinder I sent you. I was a flea market find of mine.
Your use of the CNC always amazes me. Love your out of the box thinking
4:40 and 10:40 watching those hard edges disappear from that angle, it's best thing you've ever posted bud lol
I love your persistence in trying to get it closest to your vision.
Hey Frank, careful or they will be coming inside to cut down some of your logs….haha. Nice insert of the backdrop. Funny when you said “ now what will I do with it”!!
Very cool to see the chuck plate in action.
Was being able to transfer from the CNC to manual lathe in mind when you designed it?
no, but it worked.
Might be a good idea to make a half segmented ring for the spikey end? That way the spikes can be all end grain and more resistant against breaking off.
Beautiful piece though!
as usual a brilliant artistic mind........thank you for sharing always a pleasure watching
Interesting from a conceptual standpoint. I enjoy your ideas and demonstrations! Thanks
Throughly enjoy the thought of you chasing the kitty around "let me pet yooou"
a tree is falling in your backyard @ 8:11!!!
Like your spoon!
As a hobby 3d modeler and 3d printer I find this extremely fascinating. The addition of the 4th axis is quite interesting to see in your gcode simulation as a 3 axis then applied into the real world lathe.
Seeing that tree fall at 8:11 is awesome
Midevil torture device...however, back scratcher sounds good too!
Good job sir!
perfect spoon for tomato sauce, jams - anything where u need to squeeze the fruits while boiling
Great video. Love how you cover the process. Mahalo for sharing! : )
very cool project Frank. I did a few spoons on the CNC for christmas - not as fancy or spiky as yours but I had good success using the CNC just just 3 axis and a ballnose bit on both sides. Thanks for sharing
The tight macro shot at 13:56 was so satisfying! Great job as always Frank!
I have decided that you are a wizard. You simply continue to amaze and astound!
Oh I wanna see u do the different colors! This is amazing I hope to be able to learn to do this in the future
I laughed at the tree falling in the background. I assume that was the red alder being cut down?
Ive seen sauna ladles kind of similar to that. Now you just have to build a sauna! hahaha
Excellent as usual!!!
Nicely done. The ol Mid-Evil spoon!
Super creative project! 👍🏻
It takes “getting spanked by a wooden spoon” to a whole new level.
Brilliant production and execution. Thank you for your careful dedication to quality photography, audio and woodworking (not to mention the editing and narration).
Oh the detail at about 8:10 in the background… haha I love it
I really like your design thoughts. Very interesting to follow.
There were some really cool closeup detail shots while you were working frank! Love to see the evolution of your filming!
Beautiful spoon! You did it again!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍❤️
Tree felling in the background at 8min in. Nice touch!
I showed my wife and she said she thought you had the spikes so it wouldn’t make a mess on the counter when you set it down after stirring something. The spikes have less surface area touching the counter so less to wipe up.
You've made a Troll Spoon! I'm sure there are plenty of trolls out there who would love to own such a prized object.
Although I will never get a 4th axis for my Avid I must say that was a great entrainment on a Sunday morning. Great work.
Very Cool, Frank!
Just when you thought Frank couldn't get any cooler, he talks about the G code😎
It looks more like a knuckle club, for swatting those unwanted reaching hands that are trying to get at the food you are preparing lol
That being said, this was an extremely interesting video thank you for sharing it
If you add a slight concave to the length of the handle it would make a very good spoon rest!
I really like seeing your trial and error with the Avid because it feels a lot like my experience with mine. It's not always obvious how much trial and error and experience is required to get something to turn out how you want it to. I don't have a 4th axis so it was cool to see it in action!
I put down foam floor mats around where I load the bits into my machine so I don't shatter carbide on the floor anymore 😅
I love watching your videos. When I saw the thumbnail, I was wondering what a spiked spoon would be good for. Cat comb, back scratcher, pasta carrier? Anyway, the usual thought of making is: Form follows function. This is just the opposite: Function follows form.
Looks like a nice mace!
Great idea & great work again: Chapeau!
Cat food scoop! Might be a bit large, but I'm sure your cat won't mind the extra food :) Also, depending on the brush, it may be too scratchy, or maybe just brushed too hard, this is more just some soft points like fingers
Love it!
when I was a kid, my mom would hit me with a wooden spoon. I'm glad she didn't have this one!
"They say he carved it himself... from a bigger spoon."
Concerning the tool path being the Y-axis wrapped into a cylinder, maybe talk to This Old Tony on how to make that "better".
Each time i see your wood-consumption for a project, i have to think about that Simpsone Episode where they turn a Bowlingpin out of an entire Treetrunk :D
Stay safe, very nice Spoon!
"What am I going to do with it"? Well Frank as a child who grew up in the 70s, I can tell you that in the hands of my mother it would have been a formidable child disciplining device!
We are definitely ALL suffering from Post Pandemic Syndrome!!! ;) Great job as always!
Gotta love the sound of a buckling spring keyboard
You should make one from olive wood - your cat would REALLY love that!
good work
Now I know Frank is crazy when that tree fell down at 8:13
nice at 8:12 the falling tree in the background - ist all calkulatet
Looks like something Fred Flintstone would use! 😂
Hey frank. I am not 100% sure but I believe on the vetric software there is a setting to go from 2d cutting to 3D cutting that would help you on your roughing pass get it that much closer to finish. Then your finishing bit won’t have to work as hard removing as much material.
Around 8:10 a tree just casually fell down outside the window...pretty cool
How uncanny to catch that tree falling on camera. Now you have more lumber to play with lol
love youre glue sounds
The spikes in alder look a lot like old bone , very cool.
beautiful
Looks like it was a lot of fun doing this, Frank. Probably above my pay grade, though (lol). Take care.
Bill
I enjoy your videos, please keep making them :)
Looks like a medieval weapon :)
Frank makes kitty back scratcher. Success!
I'd say that that spoon would have been perfect for the tomato canning, with its mashy spikes!
To achieve a better finish on things like the spikes, could you use your pressure vessel to impregnate the wood with epoxy? Harder woods will be better than alder but I think you still get breakages with your more complex shapes.
I do spoons and salad forks as 2 sided machining. I don't know that the spoon was the best rotary project. you possibly might have carved out the bowl by orienting the spoon flat on the A axis and going back to 3D carving using XYZ.
Pine you won at an auction? wWow the timber supply shortage crisis must be hitting you really bad, huh! ;)
That makes for a great noodle spoon. Nice 😁
Listen to those beautiful mechanical keyboard sounds. So good….
I kept thinking.. what does that remind me of? Then I realised. It's Lisa Simpson's hair!🧡
Make two of them out of hard maple or white oak. Have the concave side flat except for the hollow of the spoon, Cast a lead ball that fits in the spoon and glue them together face to face with the captured lead ball and you got yourself a medieval cudgel. Make the handle a little longer.
It kinda reminds me of Maggie from the Simpsons head. you could paint it to resemble her and stick it in your garden to serve as a scarecrow. LOL
Could you use your 4th axis machine for making micro wind turbine blades? That would be a cool form to see rise in time lapse out of a block of wood!
I'm wondering if impregnating the wood with a stabiliser like cactus juice to make the wood really stable and hard would be the way to go with this...... or just a hard fruit wood with more then 2 passes to bring it down to the final finish in much smaller increments would be the way to go? 🤔 I was also wondering if you could leave the handle end chunky until after the spoon end is finished? Great project to feel your way into how the 4th access works 👍
Frank, I noticed you've been using a belt-pack respirator in the last few videos. Which one is it? Do you like it? I've been thinking of getting one to wear when cutting dusty woods on my lathe, but I'm not sure which one to get. And even if I settle on the 3M one, they sell a crazy number of variants.
Oh, and the spoon thing turned out nice.
headgear 3m versaflo m-300. blower 3m tr-301n+. it works great.
@@frankmakes Thanks!
I carve spoons but they don't look like that. Pretty neat.
If you (or Calvin) extrude by normals in blender it'll extrude in the direction the face is facing which would get you to closer to what you ended up getting
I haven't played around with a fourth axis yet.
Could the operations be divided up a little more so you only carved the spikes at first and then afterwards worked on the handle?
That way you could probably keep even more rigidity in the piece for the finer details and possibly add an operation using the y-axis for carving out the spoon part.
It would take longer time but I guess all the roughing passes could be run one after the other so it wouldn't require additional tool changes.
That fake tree fall in the back definitely got me at first hahaha
Maybe you could use it when you cook your tomatoes in jar, for crushin them..?
