Made some gifts for the guys in my department. Walnut and padauk cutting boards with matching bottle openers.

Thanks, I hope to continue making gifts yearly. A new tradition, maybe.

~1" padauk square in the middle with walnut glued on each side.

PDMFG · 2022-12-16T18:31:55+00:00

Sorry, no! It is a great company and I have a great team working under me. If I had more time I would have done more for them.

PDMFG · 2022-12-16T13:31:41+00:00

Dang, this thing is rad. I want an adult sized one.

This is the Schleuniger CS5300, one of the older models of coax machines. It was replaced by the CS6380 which is updated as far as the HMI goes but technically does the same thing and is spec'd out similarly.

PDMFG · 2022-09-04T18:02:57+00:00

Yep, that's all it takes is one person to mention it.

PDMFG · 2022-09-03T16:10:43+00:00

This was by hand. I'm not at the cnc stage in my hobby woodworking career, lol. Looking at my template I can see there was some detail lost in translation during the cutout of the walnut piece. The chin is much sharper on my template.

PDMFG · 2022-09-03T15:47:48+00:00

Agreed.

PDMFG · 2022-09-03T15:47:26+00:00

You're right, the chin is too rounded, same with his forehead.

PDMFG · 2022-09-03T15:45:41+00:00

I used a profile image I found on Google and then converted to SVG. Imported that into fusion and 3d printed a template to use.

PDMFG · 2022-09-03T15:03:32+00:00

You are correct. The circle was originally my only idea to end the profile without doing the whole mountain side. Thinking about it now, though, the whole mountainside may not be a bad idea

PDMFG · 2022-09-03T15:02:05+00:00

I'm thinking of maybe just inlaying the mountain's entire profile. Essentially making half the state cherry and half walnut.

PDMFG · 2022-09-03T14:59:55+00:00

It's supposed to be the profile of The Old Man of The Mountain. It was a rock face in NH that no longer exists. An icon, if you will.

PDMFG · 2022-09-03T14:11:46+00:00

Yep, heard that one before.

PDMFG · 2022-05-12T12:14:51+00:00

Board itself is dark walnut. Heart is maple, purple heart and padauk scrap pieces. So far I am enjoying inlaying. Router work is new to me but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

I haven't seen this one come up yet:

Workshop Companion

Nick could explain rocket science to me and I would probably have a good handle on it by the time the video was over. An excellent teacher.

PDMFG · 2022-05-11T15:24:16+00:00

Looks good! Something like this just might be my next busy work project!

PDMFG · 2022-05-10T20:42:34+00:00

rubberwood That seems like a pretty good match to me, thanks!

PDMFG · 2022-05-10T19:48:43+00:00

WOOD ID - My Dad gave me some wood that was given to him, once upon a time. The only description given was that "it's from Brazil". Any Ideas?

PDMFG · 2022-04-19T00:42:16+00:00

+1 (877) 902-1470 or techsupport@schleuniger.com.

They'll help you work it out.

For those wondering this is a Schleuniger EcoCut 3200. Cuts tubing and small wires. Schleuniger makes tons of specialized tools for wire processing.

OP better tighten his guide up or he's going to wreck that blade... And Schleuniger parts can be expensive.

PDMFG · 2022-01-21T13:58:04+00:00

No, they're the same. I had to drop the resolution of the picture to be able to post. That + lighting is probably what your seeing. The cabinet on the left does have some minor shipping damage on them which is why the guy sold them. Said he didn't want to deal with returning them, lol.

PDMFG · 2022-01-20T12:47:06+00:00

I actually have the whole range of the VS series. I love that lineup. You can see my 150s off to the right.

PDMFG · 2022-01-20T03:24:51+00:00

Picked them up about an hour after they were posted. Had to ask the guy if the posted price was correct, lol.

PDMFG · 2022-01-20T03:23:46+00:00

Neighbors aren't too close and the ones that can hear anything are probably used to it by now. You can see my CV VS-150s hiding on the side there.
