This is beautiful to me. I feel the need to comment with a different perspective though. I’m an artist and I’ve been shocked at how fast AI image generation has developed. It’s already been overused so much that people have become tired of AI imagery. I’m worried the same thing will soon happen in woodworking as digital tools are increasingly used. This piece was created using digital technology and it’s striking because it would be hard to make by hand - it can be done by hand but what would be the point? Decades ago I used a jig saw and rasp and made topographic layered models, but today would use CNC and a laser cutter for better results. I really do worry though that it’s possible some types of CNC woodwork will unfortunately become cliches, like much of the AI images being created today.
I think at the end of the day, people will still appreciate the final product. All the new software and hardware are just tools, and people implementing these tools to make this art still appreciates. Also, makes art more accessible to other people that couldn't normally afford a 10k USD work of art.
Huh? What would be the point of making this by hand? Ummm, maybe the savings of thousands and thousands of dollars worth of wood working equipment, and instead having the therapeutic enjoyment of woodworking with your hands! But, that's just me....
In addition to looking absolutely beautiful, this could also effectively act as an acoustic diffuser and absorber, with some changes. Changes to the design that are room-specific would enable it to be "tuned" to scatter energy that is problematic within the room. Additionally, if you added a material with a high noise reduction coefficient behind the wood, like Owens Corning 703/705 fiberglass, you could even get broadband absorption (sound deadening) out of it as well. So this actually has the potential to be a badass 3-in-1 diffuser, absorber, and wall art. Thanks for sharing. It came out beautifully!
Amazing work, thank you so much sharing this video and your knowledge. I am the designer of this model and it helped me a lot about producing :) And special thanks to sharing my instagram page and shop page!
The wall art is amazing but what I saw you do with the Domino 500 was equally impressive. Learned a few things on how versatile the tool can be with a little ingenuity.
I’m curious, it seems like instead of a jig for the equally spaced domino holes, an endmill could have done that in your CNC too. Is there something I’m missing?
Hmmmmm...🤔 The holes are drilled into the back side, which means the wavy front side would be on the CNC bed/table -- not sure how you'd keep each piece aligned and level for end milling.
@@BigHackAttack Les perçages de type "Domino" auraient été très facilement réalisable à la CNC, au moins en ce qui concerne les traverses plates ! Cela aurait fait économiser beaucoup de temps, et évité des risques de pertes de précision.
I love how you show the different uses for the CNC machine I too just acquired the CNC machine and have been looking for ideas to utilize it to enhance my business!! Thank you!!
Thanks, I was genuinely interested how these were made, and just as most things with woodworking, when you break it down it is simple. Fantastic vid and good instructions. If I win the lottery I would love to get the tools needed, but I am going to try my own smaller version with my basics, see how it fares. You gave me lots of ideas though, so thank you.
ppl might want to try out geogebra or desmos for creating their parametric surfaces. All you need is to step in discrete steps (say 24) over one of the three axis and generate some function f(x) which describe the height of the cut. If you want to save wood, you can add symmetries to the piece (it doesn't have to be a mirror image that runs straight through the middle, there are many symmetry axis you can choose)
I would get the client to record the words " I love you" and save it as a waveform, Do the same for the partner for the other axis You have a unique record and a story for life - Very valuable
Man, that is a REALLY cool piece. I like it a lot. I think the only thing I might have done differently would be to paint the mounting strips black so they wouldn't be as visible. Or perhaps the wall's color? I'm eyeing an empty spot on my wall right now, believe me!
I too have an XCP. I am surprised you didn’t use it for the hanging strips. I use my 5mm domino cutter in an 8mm collet to machine domino holes on my XCP. I also use the 5mm bit from the sys32 kit in my concert for drilling shelf pins. Great video and awesome quality work.
Dude. If you make one that covers a whole wall and put a mirror behind it, some good lighting and hide the supporting beams. that would bring a room to a whole new level. Make it look like a dividing wall and make the room look so much bigger.
Even though you purchased this design, I'd love to see your process for designing it yourself on sketchup (or something similar). I wasn't aware you were able to do what you did in the beginning of the video on sketchup. This came out awesome by the way! I may try and make something like this on my normal xcarve.
I rather liked the broader sides of the piece. Based on what I think, your assumptions about the distribution of the underlying population from what I assume, to be the extrapolation of the overall sample, approximating the normal distribution. Audaciously done!
This looks amazing. I would do something different to hide the mounting strips. Maybe have a full sheet of plywood cut down to 1/4” or something to mount it to, notch that for wall mounting. Maybe even have that painted black or something as to not distract. I like the theme though of using this tool for a business. Thanks for all the info
Love the art, the Domino jigs and the fact that you respond to the comments! Hm, I wonder if it would be cool to put some LED lighting in that piece. Or maybe that’s overdoing it?
Beautiful piece and excellent video. I have a question and understand I'm not being critical, just curious. I'm just starting out in the CNC world. Why did you do the mounting strip with all those domino cuts by hand instead of creating a simple CNC process and using the xcarve? Also, if your tabs are short, couldn't you do a round over pass on at least one side of the parts? I get that this requires a tool change but with that many parts would it save time?
You are right. I could have done it that way. I like making jigs so it was an excuse to make that sliding jig, but you could definitely cut those on the CNC.Thanks for watching!
How would you get it off the wall? Great tip on the domino jig! Why not use a french cleat though? Seems like it's permanently affixed to the wall now since the pieces are glued on.
The screws that hold the mounting strips to the wall are in between the slats so that the entire piece can be removed. I considered trying to incorporate a French cleat type hanger but ended up deciding against it. Thanks a lot for checking out the video!
That looks amazing. It's very inspiring to a beginner woodworker like myself - nothing too complicated - just need to save up to buy the CNC machine! Quick question though - since you glued the slats in, how would someone remove this if they decided to move and take it with them?
I’m not sure about that. I don’t have any experience with CO2 machines. I suppose if it could cut through the plywood and the working area was large enough it could work.
@@LastLegWoodworks Gotchya. I saw you gluing the tenon into the vertical elements but didnt figure they were glued in toe mount on the wall. Beautiful work. Permanently attached. Thanks.
That's also accidentally (?) an acoustic diffuser, which should help with reverb in the room. You can buy acoustic treatment that looks similar to this, made out of materials that absorb sound rather than hard plywood.
What about Printing the design onto a big sheet of Paper, glue it to the Plywood and cut it out with a jigsaw/circular saw? Is ist that much more work? With this artpiece you might have a tolerance of about 1-2mm.
Really beautiful design! What I am curious about is, is it still possible to remove the whole piece off the wall after you've glued all the pieces to the mount on the wall?
its great video mate thanks for sharing but I have question, how did you install the first and the last panel without showing the opening on the corners? I really hope you answer my question lol
Thanks! The first and last slats didn't have the notch cut into them and they didn't fit over the mounting strip. They were morticed on their sides and connected to the side of the mounting strip creating a clean view from the end of the panel. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!.
unvarnished, high-end recording studios will like these; even possibly spray-coated with a 'flock' type texture. If the whole thing could be cut and shaped from a sightly stiff foam sheet, then even (possibly) better.
Amazing work, but can you share what extensions in Sketch Up you used? I know they are paid, but they are difficult to find without knowing their names in the warehouse
@@LastLegWoodworks you make it look super simple! Thanks for sharing your work! May I ask, so the first extension I'm guessing was the curviloft one, and then the one that slices into sheets is a slicer.. How bout the one that converts the curved lines and creates the contoured face?

For most of us - it is going to be looong hand tool project with lot of sanding, cutting, precise sanding 😁
Do you know where I could get templates for something like this? To be marked and cut out with power tools?
Here is the Etsy store where this design was purchased. Thanks for watching! www.etsy.com/shop/ParametricArtWood

Turned out awesome!
I think that some well positioned led strips will enhance it even more… yes, I know I’m 2 years later but I just discovered it :).

Love this ❤️
Thanks for the sharing 👍
Thanks!
Amazing! Thx for sharing...
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

Absolutely gorgeous. Could this be cut on a C02 laser at all?
I’m not sure about that. I don’t have any experience with CO2 machines. I suppose if it could cut through the plywood and the working area was large enough it could work.
This technically doubles as an acoustic treatment right? Or you could make specific ones that are better for acoustical treatment for a bedroom
So clever!
Thanks! and thanks for watching!
That is amazing!
Any issues since installation about the pieces walking out of the mount?
Hello! Thanks a lot. No issues with that. Each panel is glued in place using a domino tenon for strength.
Thanks for watching!

Possibly cut out of acoustic ceiling tiles? Four feet tall -could make an impressive acoustic dampener, but maybe tape the edges.
Amazing 10/10

So talent 🙌🏻
Thanks so much!
Fantastic. You could possibly enhance the look by just painting the two supports the same color as the wall. Maybe for the next client?
That's a great idea!
very interesting and very nice result. How many work hours do you think you put into this piece?
Hard to say. maybe 6 or 7? Its been awhile so its hard to remember.
What about Printing the design onto a big sheet of Paper, glue it to the Plywood and cut it out with a jigsaw/circular saw? Is ist that much more work? With this artpiece you might have a tolerance of about 1-2mm.
Really beautiful design! What I am curious about is, is it still possible to remove the whole piece off the wall after you've glued all the pieces to the mount on the wall?
was wondering the same thing
If you didn't want to have any screw holes visible from the front side you could use a French Cleat system secure it to the wall.
Yes you can
Yes, the mounting screws are between the slats so the entire piece can be removed at once.
Great job! But....maybe I overheard or overlooked but nowhere do I notice what thickness of plywood did you used for this project?
This is 3/4 inch Baltic birch. I think its actually 18mm thick. Thanks for watching!
Very cool piece....I'm sure keeping track of the order they went in was a pain.
Not too bad,. I just numbered them in an inconspicuous place.
masterpiece
How did you change the format from a sketch up program to a victor?
So cool. I wonder how it would look to use 3/8" or 1/2" instead of 3/4:
Why not solid wood. Any plywood is going to look cheap and shitty.
The artist is listed in the description and can adjust any of the parameters for sizing.
Thank you for making this video
I have been looking for ideas for CNC milling business
This is just perfect 😊
Glad it was helpful!
You could have made the mortices that are 32mm apart on the cnc in 3.5 minutes.
its great video mate thanks for sharing but I have question, how did you install the first and the last panel without showing the opening on the corners? I really hope you answer my question lol
Thanks! The first and last slats didn't have the notch cut into them and they didn't fit over the mounting strip. They were morticed on their sides and connected to the side of the mounting strip creating a clean view from the end of the panel. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!.
Love this project! Great Video! Dumb question here. What was the thickness of the each panel?
Thanks! Those are 19mm panels, (roughly 3/4 inch)
Thanks for watching!
MARVEL & RESPECT

unvarnished, high-end recording studios will like these; even possibly spray-coated with a 'flock' type texture. If the whole thing could be cut and shaped from a sightly stiff foam sheet, then even (possibly) better.
Dang.. This is like $750 in wood just alone! Hope it sold for a really nice price.
At todays prices you’re right. I think I was about $250 into it for the Baltic birch at the time this was made.

Amazing work, but can you share what extensions in Sketch Up you used? I know they are paid, but they are difficult to find without knowing their names in the warehouse
hellow it's a "slicer" free extension.
