Man, I can't get over that curly maple! And the soundwave was just enough to add a cool custom touch, but didn't take away from the natural beauty of the wood. Rad!
Thanks Shaun! Believe it or not, the maple was an Ebay special... X-carve & Easel really make some ideas easier to realize, don't they? I'm stoked to see what you are going to do with yours once you get sick of carving your logo ;)
Hello Modustrial Maker - Your Video Diy “Soundwave” Media Center Dresser Ikea Hack, Makes Me Can'T Stop Watching This Video, The Idea Is So Inspiring...
That's a great addition to the otherwise-simple design of the dresser! Also, I like the flow of the video. I personally struggle with balancing pacing and tips and instruction in my voice-overs, so it's helpful to see it done well. 👍👍
Thanks! Pacing is definitely a struggle and I'm constantly doing the dance between saying too much and boring people, and saying too little and confusing people. It is an art for sure, and I'm definitely still learning with every video :)
Cool! I grew up playing guitar in bands, so music definitely influences a lot of my designs. If you share pics of what you build on Instagram, tag me so I see it (@modustrialmaker)
Dude, that is very cool. I love the grain and soundwave together and the way you even used the seam in how you cut your glued boards. The maple and black are gorgeous. Fantastic job.
Very cool build and design Mike. The wood grain works nicely with the soundwave pattern... and a great way to spruce up an ikea dresser. It looks great in your loft apt too.
Well done both the video format and the project. I have an older oak TV cabinet that I’m going to cut down and make into a credenza for my TV and audio system.
Looks great! Personally, I would have put the handles sticking out the sides so they don't interfere with the pattern but aren't at the bottom. Love the idea of customizing your IKEA furniture!
Thanks! Side handles would be really cool. The only problem with that is that the doors don't open easily when force is applied to the side....they rotate a bit and the friction of door against the slide prevents it from opening smoothly
Mike, this is awesome! Love the sound wave idea and matched up against the end grain?! Seriously awesome work man. Keep it up, can't wait to see the bed video!
Thanks Matthew! Glad you enjoyed this one. I knew I wanted to hardwood, but kept thinking the grain would fight the engraving, until I found this curly maple, and it clicked.
Thanks! That is a good idea. I actually thought about doing something similar and pouring black-tinted epoxy in the soundwave. Both approaches would have made for a better video cover image for sure! However, since this is in my bedroom, I wanted it to be a bit more subtle :)
Modustrial Maker You are so fortunate in the USA, you have free use to lumber we can only dream of here in the UK and your homes are huge compared with the average home in the UK and your tool options are huge. Keep up the good work, like your planer sled. 👍😀
to be even more minimal, have a push and open mechanism to get rid of the handles. so push on the front and it pops the draw out and then push it in to close you know...
@@modustrial wow so grateful for the comment interaction from yourself! minimalist designers in the 20th century such as frank lloyd wrights / le corbusiers architectural interiors always aimed to simplify keep lines clean and handless is the sleekest and most modern you can go... look at this portuguese designer making a see through blue tooth push pedal acrylic tap. ruclips.net/video/_BvQNqVN2sw/видео.html
Is the soundwave a particular song or something specific or meaningful. That would really put the icing on the cake. Amazing build, I'm inspired to try out some CNC
Thanks! I think it's the standard vector file format that can be used in programs like illustrator and affinity designer. You can also export svg files of surfaces from SketchUp, which opens up some pretty cool possibilities for designing in sketchup and using easel to bring those designs to life on x-carve.
Looks great, however the communal CNC machine you described won't be available everywhere (isn't here). That said, a router and a jig would do the trick.
Yes, you definitely could do this with a router. Maker spaces with CNCs are becoming more common. Some require a monthly fee or donation, but they are definitely worth it IMO. Not only do you get access to great tools, you also get to meet other makers! :)
Nice! This looks awesome! It might be cool to record yourself saying your name or some other significant phrase and create the SVG based on the resulting waveform...not that anyone besides you would know the difference...
Sweet project. IKEA isn’t expensive but not real cheap either. Why not make completely? Clean simple dimensions and design to copy. Concrete top and bottom slab in slate or black. Pine sides with charred finish for contrast to maple. Box drawers and hardware...ok so much bigger project lol. Really like your vblog
Four words: down cut spiral bit. Using one on this build would've resulted in super clean edges. Not the fuzzy edges created by the upcut spiral bit that then required further processing. Other than that, great modification to otherwise bland furnishings.
+John coloe Thanks for the tip! Have you had success using those without dust collection? I considered the down cut, but was worried without the dust collector it would get bogged up. (Next video I will certainly at least suggest to down cut and dust collector for everyone who isn't filming a RUclips video. The only reason I didn't use the dust collector was because it blocks all the good shots of the CNC bit cutting the wood 😎 )
but you're my fave - could you run classes so we can use your tools but pay you money and make this furniture for ourselves? kind of like rent out your studio and your pay for your tuition but make it ourselves ahah
I'd love to set up some kind of event, where people come out to a huge shop setup, and everyone makes some kind of project and learns for a week. I'm hoping to start work on creating this type of event sometime next year, so stay tuned....
@@modustrial i'll buy a ticket to fly over whatever continent you're on. the globe needs fresh designers like you with that fresh take and eye on things
+The Maker Monster Shoot, total missed opportunity for whrr-tschzz-tschzz-tschzz-chk!! (Yes I just googled the onomatopoeia for the transformer sound 😎 )
This project is great...Unfortunately I don't have so many machines as you do, so could you make the front panels engraved with the soundwave for a customer and send them over to home? What would be eventually the cost for making them and the shipping cost? Thanks for your job and for the reply you would give me. Thumbs up
Thanks! I don't do commission work ... You could do something like this with a handheld router and straight edge guide, just would take a bit more time
Love your videos! I'm in Chicago and have been looking into make spaces. I don't have alot of experience, but I want to learn. Can you suggest some places? Thanks in advance.
I subscribed! Not sure if you'll see this but how did you do the little 3D animations? Are they in SketchUp? Really useful to the presentation of the video.
Love the project Mike! Makes me want to do something similar with our Ikea dresser and my mostly printed CNC. Out of curiosity, do you remember what your depth of cut per pass was on the x-carve?
Made sure I was able to use it under the license it came with...because I'm an IP attorney and it would look really bad if I were sued for copyright infringement...I'm also in IP...Anyway, this looks awesome.
You know it :) I actually paid for the $1.99 unlimited use version....seemed like good insurance even tho it seemed like it was unnecessary based on the terms of the free license.
Yes, exactly, too wide for single pass, and it is simple to do in easel by just creating a duplicate workpiece, then slicing the two in half (on opposite halves). I show this quickly in the middle of the easel section of the video
Definitely on my list to learn hand tools at some point! I need to pick up some quality chisels and a sharpening setup tho first. Any recommendations for an affordable setup?
I usually use SketchUp, but when working on the x-carve (like this one), I used Easel. There is a link in the description for easel and it's free to try out.
Oh snap! I nearly missed this video but dude! Thanks for bringing easel to my attention. I was looking for a way to convert a sound image for my girlfriend. (Me saying I love you) and this is a brilliant way to get that message across, physically as a gift for her and on something smaller than an Ikea dresser too haha. Loved the dresser though, the color scheme looked pretty dang good & Great video as always.
Thanks! And that is an awesome idea. In retrospect, kinda wish I had made a soundwave of some meaningful sound, but as they say, hindsight is 20/20. Definitely send me some pictures when you make yours.
I will for sure! I already went along and made an account with easel and trying to produce a decent looking sound wave of myself saying I love you for her to adjust and clean up. I won't be able to make it myself but I can definitely send it to a 3rd party to cut it for me! haha
I'm going to try to convert it on google docs. See how that comes out, Google docs has a save feature if its a "drawing" but I can just copy and paste it onto that and see if it'll turn it into a SVG file that I can just clean up and adjust it accordingly.
If that doesn't work, then I would suggest downloading Affinity Designer (free 10-day trial) -- that is what I use. Then do a search on using splines to trace an image in designer, and you should find what you need. Then you just export the project as an SVG from affinity.
Doh, that is too bad. Where are you located? There are other maker spaces (the map is definitely not complete since it relies on maker spaces to add themselves to the directory)
If you cut drawer in half first you could also do it with regular (non-plunge router and a simple jig. You would just need a piece of wood with a second thin piece that fits in the groove extending from it. You would have to cut a few slots (to the radius of your router base) then set the jig in the first groove cut, and move down the line repeating.
Anything that I'd likely carved would likely be outside my skillset. I've never been great at artwork, but I can build cabinets and other things to take up space in the house.
That would be really cool. Part of it was that I wanted to keep the computer part as simple as possible, since I know some people are still a bit scared off by CNC. But, that would have really been cool. I could even see someone starting a business making signs and such with custom generated soundwave carvings
Yes, definitely! I actually used part of it in the LED "Create" sign you see in the background in the shop in this video. It's a really cool pattern... There are a bunch of other really cool ones on that website, all free I believe. (I linked it in the video description)
It was great seeing him be resourceful. Almost every big city has a local maker space, or someone local to rent out CNC time. Most universities will take on work as well for laser and cnc work. Don't complain about the dude spending a ton of money to give us free entertainment.
I don't own an x-carve either.... You can use easel software for free, and then carve at a local maker space. It is way easier than I expected to do without having a machine myself.
+Rowland Custom Woodworking - Thanks Phillip! Exactly my point, I don't X-Carve either. The cost issue is an excuse to avoid new technology. Anyone can find a CNC they can use and Easel is free.
You don't buy that people can't afford a cnc machine? Not everyone has access to a maker space either. Just because setting up the file is simple doesn't make access as simple.
My point is that most people don't even consider a maker space.... I see people saying they can't do CNC if they don't own one, and for many of those people that is not the case.
That looks great! Was cool to see the teasers on Instagram! Great job!
Thanks David!
Man, I can't get over that curly maple! And the soundwave was just enough to add a cool custom touch, but didn't take away from the natural beauty of the wood. Rad!

Thanks Tamar! The only problem is now that I've dipped my feet in the water, I really want one at home :)
Hello Modustrial Maker - Your Video Diy “Soundwave” Media Center Dresser Ikea Hack, Makes Me Can'T Stop Watching This Video, The Idea Is So Inspiring...
Thanks!
I admit this piece still a very unique one!!
Thanks!
That soundwave is perfect for the curly maple. Cool dresser, and great tip on the drawer pulls!
Thanks Jonny!
Definitely an uptick from a standard IKEA chest. Such a simple idea well executed. Really well done!
Thank you! Glad you like it :)
That's a great addition to the otherwise-simple design of the dresser! Also, I like the flow of the video. I personally struggle with balancing pacing and tips and instruction in my voice-overs, so it's helpful to see it done well. 👍👍
Thanks! Pacing is definitely a struggle and I'm constantly doing the dance between saying too much and boring people, and saying too little and confusing people. It is an art for sure, and I'm definitely still learning with every video :)
Sweet project and great point about finding tools and machines you don’t own.
Thanks Caleb!
Damn dude!! That’s legit. Those sound wave drawer fronts are way too cool. I’m a musician so I’m definitely stealing this one. Haha.
Cool! I grew up playing guitar in bands, so music definitely influences a lot of my designs. If you share pics of what you build on Instagram, tag me so I see it (@modustrialmaker)
Great work! Nice and smart!
Nice contrast with fronts. Sound 🌊 give personal touch. You can pick something important and put it on to be visual remind. Cool built man. Cheers
Thanks much! I wish I'd done a personal sound for the graphic, but all-in-all I am still very happy how this one came out :)
Modustrial Maker Sure man. It looks great.. :-) keep up the good work
Very nice job! I would paint the soundwave with the same dark color as the body...
Cool, I like that idea!
Dude, that is very cool. I love the grain and soundwave together and the way you even used the seam in how you cut your glued boards. The maple and black are gorgeous. Fantastic job.
Thanks Darin! I'm learning as I go with design, but was happy how all the elements came together on this one :)
Really cool concept! I love how the design compliments the naturally occurring grain in the lumber you used.
Thanks Bruce! That design element took some thinking and planning, so I'm glad you noticed it :)
Very cool build and design Mike. The wood grain works nicely with the soundwave pattern... and a great way to spruce up an ikea dresser. It looks great in your loft apt too.
Thanks man! I was happy with how this one came out.
Natural wood and black frame look together very divine! Greetings from Russia :)
Привет из Америки! And thank you! :)
This looks really cool! Nicely done.
Thanks much!
Love it! Personalizing IKEA
Thanks!
Every video better and better man - final product looks amazing!
Thanks Ced! I'm always trying to learn and progress, so that feedback is much appreciated 😎
That came out beautifully! I'm a sucker for maple. I've always wanted to do a maple top guitar..... Maybe one day lol
Thanks! I totally agree -- I have always loved the Paul Reed Smith guitars with curly maple tops.
Awesome Mike. I love the Soundwave addition.
Thank you!
Great build, and a really well put together video! Nicely done Mike!
Thanks much Michael!
Duuude I can`t wait to see the bed you`re making!
Thanks! it has been a massive undertaking, part of the reason videos have been sparse from me lately :)
That looks awesome, it would look great with a DJ's table.
That would be really cool....then it would definitely need LEDs in the soundwave
Modustrial Maker yeah that would look awesome
So much better than the normal drawerfronts! Great job!
Thanks much Jolien!
😍😍The sound wave looks soo good on the curly maple!! 👌👍
Thanks much!
I really like this design. And you packed a lot of info into the video, ie. planer sled and jointing using just a track saw - Nice ;)
Thanks! I always hope my videos give people ideas to create their own designs, so I try to pack as much generally applicable info in as I can.
Well done both the video format and the project. I have an older oak TV cabinet that I’m going to cut down and make into a credenza for my TV and audio system.
Really cool! Tag me on Instagram if you share pictures. I'd love to see it
Turned out beautifully
Thanks!
Wow such a slick design! Loved watching it all come together
Thanks Tim! Glad you enjoyed it.
Can't wait to see the bed vid!!!!
Great idea Mike! The console looks really good!
Thanks much!

Thanks much Janie! Glad you like this one :)
Nice job Mike. I love your stuff.
Thank you!
I love my whites (typical girl? Idk lol) but this is objectively cool. Great job!
Thanks!
That looks really good, you could have stained the sound wave in black to match the cabinet.
Thanks! That is a good idea. I actually thought about doing something similar and pouring black-tinted epoxy in the soundwave. Both approaches would have made for a better video cover image for sure! However, since this is in my bedroom, I wanted it to be a bit more subtle :)

Is the soundwave a particular song or something specific or meaningful. That would really put the icing on the cake. Amazing build, I'm inspired to try out some CNC
Nice job, keep up the great work.
Thank you!
Awesome project Mike! I've never heard of that type of file before, but looks pretty nifty!

You can also export svg files of surfaces from SketchUp, which opens up some pretty cool possibilities for designing in sketchup and using easel to bring those designs to life on x-carve.
This is awesome, Mike. Gotta get up to Chicago soon
Thanks! And that sounds good.
Looks great, however the communal CNC machine you described won't be available everywhere (isn't here). That said, a router and a jig would do the trick.
Yes, you definitely could do this with a router. Maker spaces with CNCs are becoming more common. Some require a monthly fee or donation, but they are definitely worth it IMO. Not only do you get access to great tools, you also get to meet other makers! :)
Nice! This looks awesome! It might be cool to record yourself saying your name or some other significant phrase and create the SVG based on the resulting waveform...not that anyone besides you would know the difference...
That would be really cool! Something that maybe only the maker would notice, but would make it personal and very cool when pointed out.
Sweet project. IKEA isn’t expensive but not real cheap either. Why not make completely? Clean simple dimensions and design to copy. Concrete top and bottom slab in slate or black. Pine sides with charred finish for contrast to maple. Box drawers and hardware...ok so much bigger project lol. Really like your vblog
Thanks Jason! I think you answered the question...just time :) I'll definitely make another project with some similar cabinets soon tho

Definitely check out MHub....it is amazing!
I subscribed! Not sure if you'll see this but how did you do the little 3D animations? Are they in SketchUp? Really useful to the presentation of the video.
Yes, SketchUp. Using the keyframe animation plugin for it. And, thanks! Glad to have you as part of the community!
Love the project Mike! Makes me want to do something similar with our Ikea dresser and my mostly printed CNC. Out of curiosity, do you remember what your depth of cut per pass was on the x-carve?
Thanks! I think the engraving was only .08" deep in total, so probably .04" cut depth with a 1/4" two-flute upcut bit.
Nice
Thanks!
Made sure I was able to use it under the license it came with...because I'm an IP attorney and it would look really bad if I were sued for copyright infringement...I'm also in IP...Anyway, this looks awesome.
You know it :) I actually paid for the $1.99 unlimited use version....seemed like good insurance even tho it seemed like it was unnecessary based on the terms of the free license.
Great vid...did you have to do the Cnc in 2 passes because it was too wide ? And is that easy within the software ?
Yes, exactly, too wide for single pass, and it is simple to do in easel by just creating a duplicate workpiece, then slicing the two in half (on opposite halves). I show this quickly in the middle of the easel section of the video
WOW SUPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR =)
Thank you!
I like it... but you could just use a hammer and chisel to carve it out?
Thanks! You could, but that takes more time and hand tool skills than I possess 😀
Modustrial Maker you would actually be surprised. Try it. Small scale.
Definitely on my list to learn hand tools at some point! I need to pick up some quality chisels and a sharpening setup tho first. Any recommendations for an affordable setup?
hello, which program do you use to design furniture?
I usually use SketchUp, but when working on the x-carve (like this one), I used Easel. There is a link in the description for easel and it's free to try out.

If that doesn't work, then I would suggest downloading Affinity Designer (free 10-day trial) -- that is what I use. Then do a search on using splines to trace an image in designer, and you should find what you need. Then you just export the project as an SVG from affinity.
The nearest accessible machine is a couple of hundred miles away, so this idea is off the table for me.
Doh, that is too bad. Where are you located? There are other maker spaces (the map is definitely not complete since it relies on maker spaces to add themselves to the directory)
CNC makes it easier, but you could do it with a plunge router, straight edge and either a template or a lot of measuring.
If you cut drawer in half first you could also do it with regular (non-plunge router and a simple jig. You would just need a piece of wood with a second thin piece that fits in the groove extending from it. You would have to cut a few slots (to the radius of your router base) then set the jig in the first groove cut, and move down the line repeating.
I'm in a very rural part of Arkansas, so I'm pretty certain there aren't any maker spaces nearby.
Anything that I'd likely carved would likely be outside my skillset. I've never been great at artwork, but I can build cabinets and other things to take up space in the house.
2:15 still not flat :-(
Good eye, clips are sometimes rearranged for ease of explanation. Some of the drawer fronts went back thru the planer after the glue up.
Do you know what sound the Soundwave makes?
Nope, that would be really cool to have a favorite song or something like that tho....
A friend had a tattoo done of his son saying I love you. So many options
That would be really cool. Part of it was that I wanted to keep the computer part as simple as possible, since I know some people are still a bit scared off by CNC. But, that would have really been cool. I could even see someone starting a business making signs and such with custom generated soundwave carvings
I shared this video saying it would be cool to make some wall art with your kids name on it when they're born.
Yes, definitely! I actually used part of it in the LED "Create" sign you see in the background in the shop in this video. It's a really cool pattern... There are a bunch of other really cool ones on that website, all free I believe. (I linked it in the video description)
Another machine i cant afford this would have been better seeing you do this with a router rather than an x carve

You don't buy that people can't afford a cnc machine? Not everyone has access to a maker space either. Just because setting up the file is simple doesn't make access as simple.
My point is that most people don't even consider a maker space.... I see people saying they can't do CNC if they don't own one, and for many of those people that is not the case.
I was hoping that's what you meant. Didn't come across that way unfortunately. Maybe it was lost in the edit.
