Well, when he has been talking about beginners and pros at the beginning of the video, I wondered it would be about hand carving, but then he mentioned CNC... That was funny.) At any case, the first one looks lovely.

[@HamiltonDilbeck]

Another great video, Andy! I like the pumpkin tray a lot, cool design!

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

Thanks so much! I like the pumpkin too

[@JacobTomaszewski]

I recently got my PrintNC up and running and I think the pumpkin will be an excellent project. Already bought the file and now will be getting some wood prepped.

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@aragorndedolor4171]

The plain and pumpkin tray are sellable. They look finished. The turtle looks ruff with tool marks all over. That is the issue with relief carvings. They look good when finished without tool marks but that takes a lot of elbow grease to eliminate...

[@mailbox4286]

I have problems with tray bits in Vectric software. Pockets seem to vary in size when I change the stepover and pass depth for the finish pass, even using the same vector, same cut directions. I just duplicate the tool path, edit the stepover, and depths, then recalculate. It seems to want to go wider in both horizontal dimensions.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for including the speeds and feeds you used! That’s the one area as a new Shapeoko user I am having a hard time grasping

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

For sure!

[@ChristophLehner]

I really like the video ! And the Thumbnail is top tier 👌💯

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

Glad you like it!👍

[@jezaelp]

Great work. I can't wait for the next video. Gracias .

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

You got it!👍

[@BB-wj8dv]

Looking forward to the pricing video. Always good to see how others go about it. I've been designing some very complicated and detailed trays and bowls for a while and it's really the most fun I have with my machines. There are so many basic bowls and trays out there. Engravings with background texturing, and even 3d models in your trays really sets the work high and above what is out there right now. Thanks for the video Andy, always look forward to your content. PS: I can DM you some examples of my trays if your interested.

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

Thanks for the comment. I'd love to see the things you've been making

[@BB-wj8dv]

@@AndyBirdBuilds Sent it through Instagram. Let me know what you think.

[@shughes599]

I like that pumpkin.

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

Me too. I'm going to sell a couple of them at an upcoming show!

[@drich6816]

just found your channel and I'm liking your content. Getting ready to buy my first machine. Just can't seem to figure it out yet on which one I want.

[@DanielDunlap]

I’d love to see a video on how you accomplished the 2 sided carve.

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

Thanks for letting me know that's something you're interested in. This was my first one ever! Maybe I'll do it again and record more details again soon.

[@dad7256]

I get hardwood flooring scraps from my brother, some are wide enough to make a tray 6" wide. Gluing them together gives me a thickness of about 1 1/4", should I use a bit to rough cut the majority of the wood before using the bowl bit ? Great video by the way, these may be my go to project for Christmas !

[@ericeinsmann5559]

Great video! I have my eye on the turtle tray. I think it would be very popular in the Hawaiian community

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

Thanks! Oh I could see that!

[@donblake329]

Thanks for all your videos, very helpful. What did you have attached to your Dremel when you was sanding the second tray?

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

Great to hear. That was so sanding attachments that I've been testing out. Not sure if I recommend them yet...

[@Sonictech66]

where can I find the bits used and links? trying to find the bowel bit

[@tomcollick8111]

How do you get the exact cutout for the STL file?

[@frankpolanco561]

Andy, love the content like usual. I often find myself rewatching your older videos and still find them helpful. One question if I may, what are the feeds and speeds for the profile toolpath used at kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3yUlXpoZcuqb8ksi=kiye9eej54MSpIJU&t=110 1:50 ? You're getting great results and I'd love to try out your proven numbers. Thanks!

[@thebarneylejeune]

Very nice trays, excellent video. What are you using to sand the inside of the tray at the 3:42 mark? Is that a flap disc on a Dremel tool?

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

Thanks! It is, I'm still testing them out before I recommend them or not.

[@CreatedWorkshop]

What size was the first tray? I really like how that one came out and would love to make a few like that, just figuring out sizing is the hardest part for me 😂

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

10x4x.75 Thanks for watching!

[@CreatedWorkshop]

@@AndyBirdBuilds Awesome, thanks Andy! And you bet! Always love when I get an upload notification from you!

[@TDpeoples]

great job brother, looks really good ;) im still thinking about buying the Onefinity woodworker or the Shapeoko Pro xl, please convince me buying the carbide 3d product despite that it has belts and v-wheels, i simply have a better feeling using the Carebide product becouse i have the Nomad 3 and i love it, its just too small in size

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

Thanks so much, glad you like it! They're both great products. I've never had any issues with belts or v wheels in the last 4 years.

[@pigpickler]

Which carpet tape do you use?

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

Suretape or xfasten

[@pigpickler]

@@AndyBirdBuilds Thanks!

Do you use the Shurtape DF 545?

Where is the turtle file?

As it seems you enjoy shapeoko more than the avid cnc

[@AndyBirdBuilds]

This video was filmed before the Avid was ever set up and like I said in the Avid intro video, you will still be seeing the Shapeoko

Hello Andy, any chance for us to work together? We would like to sponsor a POE security camera system to you to install and review. I had emailed and messaged you the details of proposal in INS. Hope can hear from you and move forward.
