Keep it up buddy !! I love making coasters for my customers. I make acrylic displays with my cnc and batch out coasters as a free sample and I end up getting orders out of it.😊
Looks good! You had me worried when you foreshadowed the problem as the CA glue "trick".hadn't failed me yet. The order of the cuts definitely helped that. Just a note - when you switch from talking over the video to talking directly to us, there's quite a difference in volume levels. It was quite pronounced on my TV. Other than that, I loved this and will consider taking these on with offcuts myself. The personalizing of things is what really makes people go wild!!!
Yeah, I realized that after I'd posted it. I considered taking it down and correcting. Probably should have done that. I used a different microphone for the voiceovers, and the levels were off. I'll correct it moving forward.
@@SothpawDesigns Bah, chalk it up to showing us that nothing always goes perfectly!!! Nice pinned note - your true fans and followers overlook that stuff and will remember when they start their own channels that it doesn't all come easy! Keep up the great work!
Coasters look awesome, your content makes me want for a CNC. One of these days... Also glad to see someone else has a little camera focus struggle from time to time. 😂
Thank you. I'd been just using my iPhone to film, which autofocuses well, but I like to listen to music and podcasts while I work, so I started using my DSLR. Never used my DSLR for video, so I'm still keying in on those settings.
Great material, man. I recently got a onefinity and I'm STRUGGLING coming up with feeds & speeds for my toolpaths that I'm confident with. What strategy would you recommend? thanks!
When I add a new tool to my design software (I typically use VCarve Pro) I use the recommended feeds and speeds provided. I've not found a reliable way to calculate my own feeds and speeds, so I just rely on the software to do the calculations. Regarding the depth and stepover, I typically go about 50% of the size of the bit, so for a 1/4 inch bit, I'll typically go 1/8 inch stepover. Maybe a little more aggressive with softer materials like MDF or plywood.
I liked your coasters project very much. I also liked your honesty when you included your mistakes during the process. I recommend to try to be consistent in the recording sound of your videos. I personally have difficulty in listening to your description of the process, since it is dramatically lower than your volume when facing the camera. I hope that my comments do not offend you. Sorry if it did.
No offense at all. I appreciate the feedback. I’m getting better with each video. I tried out a new mic for the voiceovers, and didn’t realize that the levels were that far off, and that the music was too loud. I hate that, because other than that, I feel like this is a pretty good video. Should have paid more attention to the audio before uploading. I need to take more time in proofing my work before uploading. I tend to rush that last step.
@@SothpawDesigns I use the domes and dishes in the vectric clipart and then add text or the free smiley faces they have on the vectric sight and set it up as a 2 sided job to put the dowel holes in the center and use a cpl pennies to set and mantain the gap between the 2 sides . makes some nice looking YoYos espially with walnut mahogany etc. i like the darker color woods
Not sure how you did your Danish oil beyond the dip. You should keep it wet for about a 1/2 hour then wipe it all down with a dust free cloth. That should remove any thick oil and prevent the stickiness.
I don't like two sided tape. CA glue typically works well. Now that I'm starting to work on more complex jobs, I'm starting to use more screws and other types of hold down clamps.
Hi there! I've been checking out videos by owners of OneFinity's while deciding if that's what I want to get. That's how I came across your videos! I'm 95% certain I'll go for it! But I did have some input for you regarding the finish you're using. I'd just like to suggest you consider polymerized Tung oil (thinned with orange oil), as a more durable, not to mention waterproof, finish that you can fine-tune to any luster you prefer! Here's a link to a video that can get you started: ruclips.net/video/ePn409TDS0o/видео.html Just a suggestion for consideration!
Agreed. You're watching one of my very old videos, and several people made those comments of those. I've worked to improve my audio since then. Thanks for the constructive criticism.
Sorry for the crappy audio. I didn't realize that the levels were that far off till after it was uploaded. I'll do better in the future! I promise!!!
Thank you again for your honesty and for listening to my comments.
Thank you for the support. I’m gonna learn from this one and improve in the next.
Nice project. Congrats on reaching 1k subscribers.
Thanks. Appreciate the support.

Great idea. With the holidays coming up, I'm ready to amp up some of these and some different things.
Super good👍👍
Thanks

@@LYTOMIZE_Woodshop thanks. That means a lot.
Liked the video, gave me some ideas

@@SothpawDesigns I feel the DSLR pain, sir. Lol. Same issue here.
my woodworker has those same type of ooops! grooves in my spoilboard lol
They're just t-track. I put them in myself.

I make YoYos kids and adults enjoy them
I had thought about that. They make those in the engineering class in my high school.

Perfect. Thanks.
If ya ever need a tip give a shout, I program Industrial CNCs
Appreciate it.
where did you get that shirt i want one lol
Here you go!! amzn.to/3is0BfC
ca glue is a great way to secure your material but i still use brads and cews and dowels for 2 sided jobs. stay away from 2 sided tape
I don't like two sided tape. CA glue typically works well. Now that I'm starting to work on more complex jobs, I'm starting to use more screws and other types of hold down clamps.
@@SothpawDesigns youll find all hold down methods useful on certain types of designs and toolpaths you use. have fun

Thank you. I haven't tried tung oil yet. I"ll give it a watch.
Hard to hear you with the music. Please don't use music inn your vids. Machine sound would be much better.
