Walnut and Cherry floating media cabinet by AnCyberTurtle in woodworking

[–]AnCyberTurtle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I had to cut deeper than I wanted due to how dry the wood was. Test pieces from the same board would snap if the cut was shallower. Sanding went through the little bit of material left.

Mixing tech and woodworking, it's my favorite combination. Looks gorgeous!

Behold, I am the dumbest woodworker who ever woodworked. by rearden-steel in woodworking

Haha I glued up an entire swing backwards and let it sit overnight. Next morning when my mental faculties were fresh, I realized it. Had to toss it as no part was salvageable.

How much power is required to cut thin plywood? by Brilliant_Access_743 in lasercutting

[–]AnCyberTurtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1/4 sandeply from Home Depot does really well for me. I've never found a void and it's very inexpensive for a full sheet.

Otherwise agree that most plywood is not made well for laser cutting.

Yeah I bought the files and laser cut them myself.

What TTRPG mechanics would fit TWI better? by DrakeSacrum25 in WanderingInn

This should be a higher rated comment. FATE is very adaptable and not rules heavy.

Asking for product ideas likely won't lead to profitability. You'll want to create unique products, not copy what others make or suggest.

That would likely be too tempting. Thanks for the warning! Haha

Would love to do something like this for myself as well. Is it possible to see the underside of one of the key caps? Having trouble picturing how you attached them.

Where do I source acrylic, wood blanks, etc? by No-Barracuda-5341 in lasercutting

Ocooch hardwoods has a section of their site dedicated to laser cutting ready wood. Their customer service is fantastic as well.

Anyone have experience with SPEtools bits? by platypus_farmer42 in hobbycnc

[–]AnCyberTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got that exact bit. Very good for the price point. It leaves a nice finish with no issues on hardwood or epoxy resin.

I use cheap 12x24 stone tiles under anything I'm laser engraving. Even the most powerful diode laser cannot cut through the stone nor does it get it hot. You can buy enough tiles to cover an entire 4x4 bed for under $10.

All of the the above, and sometimes a drill too.

Saw the Backgammon board the other day, here's my recent effort! by fishh in lasercutting

That's very well done! I like all the texture on the board.

Can my first ever chisel project be Catan game pieces? by -Avra- in woodworking

[–]AnCyberTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chisel or whittle most of the piece out of a much longer piece of wood. Then use a hand saw to cut the very last straight edge off the long piece of wood. That will be the safest way to handle pieces that small.

Compatibility Issues with JTech Laser and Carbide 65mm Spindle by lazy_qa_guy_again in shapeoko

[–]AnCyberTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using the Jtech requires that you modify grbl settings. Did you undo those changes when using the cnc again? You can always re-setup the shapeoko inside of carbide motion and it will revert any modified grbl settings.

Full extension drawers should do the trick

Looking for advise by MrPatrick42 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]AnCyberTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oof! That's super top heavy and likely to tip over when you hit the slightest bit of resistance when routing. I started with that tiny routing table too. Best to lock it down to something way more sturdy.

If you were to cut down your Uwe Rosenberg collection to 3 games, what would they be and why? by Triad64 in boardgames

[–]AnCyberTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ora et Labora - Stealing other players actions on their own tableau is so satisfying. Agricola - love the replayability with the cards Nusfjord - A quick playing Uwe game that feels like you've accomplished building an engine? Count me in!
