I had a go at making these Wyrmwood gaming tiles too although I didn't have a cnc so it took quite a bit longer, they are super cool tho and we use them all the time.
Absolutely loved the video, Drew! Nice work. Your content is always top-notch and family friendly. Also, thanks for the shoutout, it means the world to us!
I did some of those hex Gaming Trays myself. I insert the magnets using the drill press. I chuck a hex driver, put a chunk of magnet and press them down. It works very well and it is fast!
Drew, another fun and useful project. I’ve been a subscriber since the beginning and you just keep getting more creative and skillful. Thanks for the content!
Tip for working with those magnets: Use a sharpie to color a consistent face of each magnet. Then when you're putting them in, just be consistent with colored face out on the left and face in on the right.
Great video, Drew! It was awesome of you to mention the three companies in the video. I like the different wood species that you used! They look great together!
I was wondering how you were going to incorporate a flat head screw into the project. The likeness of a "flat head screw" was brilliant. Very nice build and design. As always thanks for sharing! You always make my day Drew.
Wow. These are beautiful. The design is great! They are simple but as you say you can use it for pretty much any game which is pretty elegant. The assortment of wood species really sets it all off. If they were all one species it would still be as useful but the variation really makes them that much more beautiful.
Amazing to watch this and see so many things I've also had to learn the hard way using our CNCs over the past several years now. Things like spoil boards, proper clamping, and custom jigs. For instance. I've saved a lot of time eliminating tabs, through cuts, and spoil boards on the CNC in most case in a couple ways. One way, you can cut partial depth (like .65" depth) and clean up with a .25" flushing bit. Since tabs require this step anyway, this saves setting tabs and use of a spoil board. ALSO, if you like using and helping out small businesses, try my latch that I make and sell to wood workers for their box projects. It's something I came up with because I couldn't find one on the market already. Great video as always!
Yup, you said it. Lots of learning on this project, even though I've already owned the CNC for years. I could have done away completely with the tabs since I went with double-sided tape for my hold downs too but didn't bother to walk upstairs to change the code. Haha
Love this idea! We play alot of yahtzee and I made a feltlined dice box from an old cigar box inherited from my granddad. I am sure you could make a more beautiful one from the neighbors stash! ❤
Lol. Me too, I’ve just recently worked on a cnc project where my collet came loose forcing me to restart and on the 2nd attempt the router came loose and punched a hole straight through the work piece and the cnc base! I hit the “oh crap” button as quickly as I could but too late to salvage! On to attempt 3 which was successful! Really enjoy your channel!
I don't have a CNC but still enjoyed this and the trays turned out awesome! They would be so useful to have around for so many things. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you and the family!!!
Great product design. Keep up the great work and putting out your videos. I look forward to them. As for the Onefinity and Jenny bits, they are amazing products.
When working with a bunch on n magnets, I sharpie mark one side for the whole batch. Because its metal, it will wipe off easy enough with some rubbing, but should stay on long enough for you to get them put in.
I have to say Drew, this may be one of your most attractive projects yet! Sure, positives and negatives, like everything I suppose. And I don't want to be all polarizing here, but with your magnetic personality, you really make it work! 😎
Someone else may have already suggested this, but a couple of tips I'd like to offer: For securely holding down projects to your CNC bed, I've seen several other makers use the technique of clamping down a spoilboard, then using plastic nails in a pneumatic nail gun to secure the workpiece down. Your bits can safely blow through them like they weren't even there, and supposedly a sharp whack on the side is enough to shear them off when you're ready to remove the workpiece. Also, instead of the "painter's tape and CA glue" trick, I've heard Natto tape (basically double-sided masking tape for manufacturing) makes a good carpet tape alternative. It's supposedly a lot easier to use and clean up than regular double-sided tape, and not that expensive.
We love Catan and play just about every week with family or friends. Love you designs with this. Now I just need to buy a CNC machine. Really appreciate your comedy and explanation of what you're doing. You are the Man!!!
I had tons of problems with bits slipping in the Makita router on my 1F. I upgraded to the PWNCNC water cooled 80mm spindle, and it has been amazing. I especially like that it can use a 1/2" collet.
Admittedly I clicked on it and thought "Great another CNC video." But as usual you sucked me in anyway! I heard y'all speaking on the podcast about this exact response. Y'all are right that it is just another tool in the shop. And dang, y'all are convincing ambassadors for One Finity! I found myself browsing the site yesterday! 🙈
Hey thanks! I know CNCs aren't for everyone but once you use it for a project, it's like your eyes get opened to all the other possibilities that it can do. Thanks for listening to the show!
You used some of your own wood?!? I would have talked the neighbor into starting a new project and taken him to the lumber yard to help him pick out your .. . I mean his lumber! 😂
That's a great idea - they look fantastic! I think I'll have to make a set for my brother for his birthday, but sadly I don't have a CNC, so I guess I'll have to do everything by hand with a router...
@@FishersShopThat's what I was thinking. I'd need to make a template first, I suspect that'll be the hardest, but probably most interesting part. Thanks for the reply - and the idea!
Another great Fisher project! A small improvement(?) suggestion: When stacking the tray racks, they look like they could fall off of each other. Cut a matching notch in the bottom of each leg and use the magnet trick to hold them together (A magnet in the recess and on the top or in just one location and a screw in the other?)
This looks awesome! Those dog bones though...the CNC can't carve straight corners for the mortise, it can do rounded for the tenon. It would be like a non-floating domino.
I cant believe you got the polarity right on all those magnets Drew, congratulations.😄 Great looking sets and an awful lot of work, imagine if you didnt have CNC ! Beautiful vhouce of woods your neighbour made i thought.👍😂
Awesome project. I spent most of the video wondering how you were going to manage the polarity of the magnets, and I’m still not sure I’ve completely wrapped my head around how they all manage to be universally compatible, but I’m glad you figured it out. I don’t have a cnc and I don’t play that many board games, but I still enjoyed the video. Honestly, I thought there would be a LOT more outtakes 😂.
Pro tip: Cutting out the piece from your blank on the CNC should be your final operation. Even with tabs and super glue+tape, you lose a lot of rigidity if you continue to machine a part that has already been cut out. It's a recipe for a broken bit or chunks of wood flying across the room. I had to learn the hard way, too.
I’m surprised that your neighbor not only has the amount of wood you need, but also that he has a variety of interesting species available to his trusty neighbor.
These are a really nice bit of work, very impressive 👏👏and would make a great gift. I wouldn't be wanting to put my mobile phone so close to 12 of those bad boy rare earth magnets though for risk of knackering my screen, but slot could easily be used for something else instead.
Like these a lot. I’m not a gamer so I thought of another use. Use the slotted ones and use them to make pretty much an unlimited size trivet for hot pans and skillets to serve meals
Very cool project, Drew! 0:43 And admitting you have a problem is the first step, remember? Enough already with all the excuses, good for you, my man!😄😉
Magnet set suggestion: Obviously this come too little, too late for you, but maybe for someone else or a future project: 3D print (or make from wood) a little cylinder or pawn or whatever in two different colors (red and blue for example) with a spot for a magnet at one end. Embed a magnet in each of them but with opposite polarity. These are now your magnet sorters. Next when you're ready to start adding the magnets to your piece and they have to be in a specific alignment for polarity, use a sharpie of the same color as your sorters and put a dot in the hole for which polarity each spot needs. So in the case of your piece here you'd alternate blue, red, blue, red, etc. around the piece. Now, when you need to set a magnet in a red hole, grab your red sorter and use it to pick up a magnet. Align it in the hole and go to town. As long as you use your red sorter to pick magnets you're putting in red holes, they'll always be in the right polarity. Do the same with the blue sorter and blue holes and you're all set.
@@FishersShop You're welcome... not my idea originally. It's something that I've seen used in various 3D print projects when polarity alignment is import for placing a bunch of magnets. But it would obviously work great for a wood project like this too.
I think this is the coolest project you've done yet. I wish I had a CNC, but maybe I could do this (on a smaller scale) with a plunge router and "outer diameter" circle jig. I don't know if that's a thing, but that's what I'm calling it. Could you post a link to that handy-dandy-looking sanding sponge drill attachment thing?
On the dog bones: Draw a line from the corner where you want the dog bone to be into the mortise. This line should be 45 degrees, and should be the radius of the bit you're using. Then draw a circle from the tip of this line up to the corner. If what I wrote here made sense, and you did this, your dog bones should be a lot smaller and less obvious - even when not hidden.
Look up how to cut hexagons from a single strip in fabric for quilting. Take those dimensions to your table saw and sled on the saw. (Use a jig to keep them in place on the final cuts.)
Please tell me you want to sell sets of these! You've got a buyer right here. I love woodworking as a hobby but lack the time and space for many of the tools. Buy a couple more CNCs and put them to work. 😊 Great job!
I have a couple sets left that are extra from the ones I listed on the website. If you're truly interested, reach out to me via my website and we can work something out
Drew, Drew, Drew...I TOLD you eating 3lbs of shrimp was a bad idea...You have to intermix some oysters in-between half pounds of shrimp...Don't forget, a good beer is needed too! Great little project for sure. No CNC here, and probably never will...just can't justify it for my lousy capabilities. :)
This is a great video! And a cool project. I’m jealous of your neighbours wood species variety!! Do you still use the boardgame coffee table you made a while back? Would these store in there?
I was beginning to feel a bit disappointed with the severe lack of flathead screws in this video until you pointed out a few of the trays look like a flathead screw. 😉 Such a cool concept, Drew. All those different species of wood really do go well together. I don't know if I would trust myself to orient all those magnets in the right way. You are braver than most 😂
Yeah, I didn't want to go that route originally, hence all the screws. I was going to do one magnet and one screw on each side but the hold wasn't nearly strong enough.
Another great one Drew! Would you mind sharing your feed rate, DOC and spindle rate you're using on this project? I'm really having a hard time with my Makita on my Onefinity, getting hot.
Looking at the project, it should actually be relatively easy to make jigs for each sort of hex - slots, round, 2 half rounds, phone... You could cut out the hexes with another router jig or use a miter saw or table saw to cut them from the plank. Once you have the jigs working, you could set up an Etsy/Bay shop to sell them. Most manufacturers of small REMs put a dot from a marker pen to show one pole - N or S - so you don't get confused.
Your effort isn't well represented, so much went into this. This was an amazing job and your finished product is absolutely perfect. The concept is so good and it opens so many possibilities. Love it and thank you for making this video.
Can you pist a longerclip of using that bowl jenny please? Its a radical spiral upcut design i want to see howbgood it carves and any explanation for the stepover marks?
So question about the magnets, so on one side (each side) of a hex one would have a positive polarity and the next one beside it had a negative? I want to be sure I understand it. Btw how would you suggest doing this set by hand and power tools aka no cnc? I’m assuming start with the larger board for ample space to route on, make jigs, and then cut out the hex but is there something I’m missing
Yeah that's right. On each side, the left would be positive and the right would be negative. Repeat that 6 times. Every hex has to be the same. Then they can fit together in any orientation. You just can't flip them over because they'll repel one another then. Yes, to do it by hand, route the pockets and then cut the shapes out afterwards. I'd probably switch to squares if doing it by hand. Less magnets and easier to cut out on the table saw while keeping the pockets centered.
Thank you so much! I tried to wrap my head around it (I’m dyslexic lol) and couldn’t quite envision it but now I get it so thank you! I just think you’re a genius and these are amazing for gifts. My brother and his wife are major board gamers! They’re the type that find and buy games from overseas and this would be so useful as a set for their kitchen and living room tables. I remember your coffee table build with the built in game boards, you bravely hand routed each one so I imagine I could do the same and make a square, it all makes sense
It's so amazing that your neighbor almost always has the wood you need. Great project.
I know!!
@@FishersShop, I love how you're just straight up 'stealing' from your neighbour now 😂
He lives next to a sawmill!!
I'll bet the neighbor says "Oh crap" when he sees that Fisher has been to his house again!
I LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR! Without him we'd never have any content from you

Someone else may have already suggested this, but a couple of tips I'd like to offer:

Your bits can safely blow through them like they weren't even there, and supposedly a sharp whack on the side is enough to shear them off when you're ready to remove the workpiece.

Cut a matching notch in the bottom of each leg and use the magnet trick to hold them together (A magnet in the recess and on the top or in just one location and a screw in the other?)

Great little project for sure. No CNC here, and probably never will...just can't justify it for my lousy capabilities. :)
This is a great video! And a cool project. I’m jealous of your neighbours wood species variety!! Do you still use the boardgame coffee table you made a while back? Would these store in there?
Yes we do but I store my set of these up on the mantle since it's such a showpiece
Which was more fun, sanding the inner cuts, or having your progeny and the dice conspire to decimate you in Risk?
Hmmm, they're both equally demoralizing
I was beginning to feel a bit disappointed with the severe lack of flathead screws in this video until you pointed out a few of the trays look like a flathead screw. 😉
Such a cool concept, Drew. All those different species of wood really do go well together. I don't know if I would trust myself to orient all those magnets in the right way. You are braver than most 😂
Yeah, I didn't want to go that route originally, hence all the screws. I was going to do one magnet and one screw on each side but the hold wasn't nearly strong enough.
@@FishersShop I'm glad you figured out the number of magnets needed as the big interconnected trays moving in unison was highly satisfying.
Another great one Drew! Would you mind sharing your feed rate, DOC and spindle rate you're using on this project? I'm really having a hard time with my Makita on my Onefinity, getting hot.
With all 3 bits, pleeeease.
I was very conservative. Only like 90ipm. Router was on 2

Thank you. I might be running my speed too high. I'll give it ago tomorrow after church.
I do not have a CNC machine, and I would love a set of these.
Looking at the project, it should actually be relatively easy to make jigs for each sort of hex - slots, round, 2 half rounds, phone... You could cut out the hexes with another router jig or use a miter saw or table saw to cut them from the plank. Once you have the jigs working, you could set up an Etsy/Bay shop to sell them. Most manufacturers of small REMs put a dot from a marker pen to show one pole - N or S - so you don't get confused.
I got a set for sale on my website if you’re interested
Amazing. The project was cool, the dishes were cool... But NO mistake on the polarity? Amazing! 😅
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. :)
Right, that's genuinely impressive for any project of that size, regardless of skill or experience
Your effort isn't well represented, so much went into this. This was an amazing job and your finished product is absolutely perfect. The concept is so good and it opens so many possibilities. Love it and thank you for making this video.
Thanks! Yeah, it was actually quite a bit of work
Check wyrmwoods hexagonal project
Can you pist a longerclip of using that bowl jenny please? Its a radical spiral upcut design i want to see howbgood it carves and any explanation for the stepover marks?
Really cool. Where's the flathead screw?
That split-pocket hex sorta looks like a flathead. Does that count?
Ad someone with a flawlessly smooth bottom I can attest to the importance.
😂
So question about the magnets, so on one side (each side) of a hex one would have a positive polarity and the next one beside it had a negative? I want to be sure I understand it. Btw how would you suggest doing this set by hand and power tools aka no cnc? I’m assuming start with the larger board for ample space to route on, make jigs, and then cut out the hex but is there something I’m missing
Yeah that's right. On each side, the left would be positive and the right would be negative. Repeat that 6 times. Every hex has to be the same. Then they can fit together in any orientation. You just can't flip them over because they'll repel one another then. Yes, to do it by hand, route the pockets and then cut the shapes out afterwards. I'd probably switch to squares if doing it by hand. Less magnets and easier to cut out on the table saw while keeping the pockets centered.
Thank you so much! I tried to wrap my head around it (I’m dyslexic lol) and couldn’t quite envision it but now I get it so thank you! I just think you’re a genius and these are amazing for gifts. My brother and his wife are major board gamers! They’re the type that find and buy games from overseas and this would be so useful as a set for their kitchen and living room tables. I remember your coffee table build with the built in game boards, you bravely hand routed each one so I imagine I could do the same and make a square, it all makes sense
I assume your SVG files would work on a Shaper Origin as well, it would just take forever :)
I don't see why they wouldn't! I'd love to see you try. That'd be awesome
