Not sure if you still monitor this video but I learned A LOT from it so thanks! I will probably make a full size one eventually but I am making one now that is 50% the width with a single set of swing out drawers . I also am going to use 3/4" stock BUT then laminate a 1/2" thick contrasting wood around the perimeter of drawer and Top so when I pocket out the inside, I get a thicker piece BUT do not have to buy 5/4 or 8/4 stock as only the edges really matter. If I see you reply, I will send pics of finished box but in concept, should work as my pockets will be much deeper than the laminate glue line so ???
Very nice design and well explained. I'm drawing along with your first video and while I was doing that I decided to use scrap wood for the spacers. What I did was copping the drawers and spacer to a new layer, moved the spacer a little more to the top edge of the wood and moved the drawers away from the spacer so the cleaner was just enough for a 1/4 end mill. I'm not sure if it will work and I might have to figure out of I'm going to use washers and how to get the height of the spacers right. Maybe I can skim the drawers a bit. Thought I'd share it with you so it saves some wood.
At our makerspace, we had a young person (35, 45?) use a 1/2" four flute bit to do some pocketing/profiling. But she didn't know to slow the spindle, so we got some smokin' hot embers goin' on. ;-D Fortunately, the glowing chips didn't get sucked up into the dust collector, but they did get sucked up by the shop vac, and after a while, it started smoking really good! Doused the embers with a bucket of water and only had damage to the paper filter -- and maybe a little melted plastic. I was able to get it back into working condition, so nothing was lost. Exciting Times! Needless to say, when you chucked up your 4 flute, I got a little nervous.
Good observation. The thing to consider in this instance is your speed and feed rate are based on cutting edges. If your running a 2 flute at say 18,000 you want to run a 3 flute at say 12,500 or so and 4 flute at 8-9,000. Your cutting edge needs to cut enough not to create friction. You can also increase feed rate. Twice the flutes means: half the spindle speed or twice the feed rate or a combination of. Theirs chipload charts and equations to help you calculate feeds and speeds.
Hi Ed very nice job ,I noteset on your coolant line you have a little fan like indicator on it.Did the machine come with it or did you buy it, if so where did you get it.Thanks Eric
Whereabouts in Canada are you from? I’m from Ontario. I’ve been thinking about getting a Laguna IQ. Very cool to see a recent video using this tool. Where did you get this product from?
Good day. I am near Edmonton Alberta. I bought this machine from Marson equipment here in Edmonton, if you google Laguna in your aria I’m sure you’ll find a distributor in your aria or you can buy direct from laguna. The price they quote you is delivered in CDN $$, double check before making your decision. Thank you for watching!
I sold a couple, thing with the stuff you make, everyone thinks it’s nice and likes it but think your time and material is worth nothing “I can buy one at a novelty store for $50”. Custom orders are a little different. If you can set up a web page or wastebook market page a few people will order a few things.
E R. That’s some solid advice. And I can full heartedly believe that about the people having some sort of disconnection between the final product and the time/labour cost and materials when looking at the price and I think that’s due to how we commoditized things such as you would get from novelty stores. Me , personally I have a hobby of making wooden side panels and cases for vintage synthesizers. A very niche market with a very low competition rate. I’ve had a couple people convince me to do some research into actually providing a service and so this has brought me to figuring out a way to streamline this process to save time and produce consistent and precise work. Also, one thing that may give me an edge using a machine like this is the simple fact that the machine can carve and articulate custom details at a speed and precision that’s far more efficient in terms of logistics if I were to actually try to make some sort of tiny business. There’s just so much to learn!
Love this box. Would like to make for my two granddaughters. Thanks so much for sharing. Learned a lot.
I've really enjoyed your videos and gotten a lot of good ideas and inspiration from them.
Great design. Thanks
Very nice Ed, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching, enjoy.

Very nice! These would make great gifts!
