This video does a great job of showing how CNC is not "easy" and IS real woodworking as much as someone using a table saw. The precision involved in getting all those cuts to perfectly line up is daunting, and this video showed that even someone with a good amount of experience can struggle with it. Nice work!

Beautiful boards. I do end grain inlays myself, so I know the challenges you refer to. The slight variation from one 12.5 bit to the next, even from the same manufacturer, can leave the tiniest of gaps. Trial and error is the only method that works for me. When I see a video that says "perfect inlays every time" I cringe a little bit, but I still watch I would love to see more content like this. I plan on trying a more complex inlay using multiple species of wood, seeing you just go for it is inspirational.

[@bw162]

Very nice. One observation. Ignore it if it’s not relevant. Because of the visual gap between the plug and surface of the board, it appears you may be leaving too great a glue pocket. On cutting boards in particular, this can lead to inlay cracking. For anyone that is interested, a vacuum bag method of “clamping” is extraordinary. Very clean and no mess. Even pressure on all parts of the plug big or small.

[@dustytrailsworkshop]

Great boards they are Fing beautiful. I definitely would enjoy the CAM/CAD aspect. It looks like you changed your centers when you were cleaning back the inlays, so just curious on why?(you can save that for a video.) I'd also like to hear why you'd start from a certain Inlay and how you managed to keep your Z depth consistent in the future. Enjoy your videos, love how y'all just build and discuss the project as you go, Not a typical KZbinr who utilizes on the talking head transition. I also did enjoy the howl pun, intentional or not!

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Hey! I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking. My actual zero never changed. And as for what layer to start with its pretty much personal preference as long as it doesn’t mess with any of the other layers/inlays. I’m also learning and barely know what I’m doing so a lot of it is trial and error lol

[@dustytrailsworkshop]

I'm right there with you on being green to a CNC. Maybe I'm overthinking it but between inlays... You'd be changing out bits. How can you maintain that constant z depth between your female/male/clear/female/male/clear. I tend to loose my original Z depth along the way. Then resurface the whole board.

[@gunracksonline]

very nice work. Inlays are on my list to do but have not gotten the time to do them yet. Question when you are zeroing off the center, why are you not going from the corner so every time you have to remove the board and put it back on the bed the reference point will always be the corner?

[@TwoMooseDesign]

I just prefer the center 🤷🏼‍♂️ I never liked using the corner, no real reason

[@tk.designs]

These boards look amazing, whether first attempt, or if you had years of practice with the inlays. I like that there is a little bit of sapwood in the walnut gives it a nice little contrast. What are the other types of wood that you used? I am still learning myself, and want to expand the types of wood that I use. Great Job!

[@TwoMooseDesign]

I agree I like a touch of sapwood 👌🏼 thanks for watching!

[@bbgakame]

Beautiful. Suggestions: Have a very stable X,Y fence or use dowels (many use pvc, I use wood dowells) that you reference in holes that the CNC drills. Zero the project at the machine zero point then go to your project zero point, RECORD the X,Y numbers. You can remove the project any time, do other work and then replace the project back in the machine using the fence, dowells, zero at your machine zero, proceed to the X,Y points you recorded earlier and you'll have a repeatable zero. Hopefully this is clear. Keep up the great work.

[@sethcohen7985]

Wow, the is a beautiful board. Any chance you could share the bit settings in your tool datasets? Not feeds and speeds but how you set it up up for D, A, R and tool type? I can't seem to get it set up correctly.

[@MyOpion]

I have Vcarve desktop version. I would love to see a video or just some pics on the software settings. Do you use the vcarve selection and if so what do you use as your clearance tool and finish tool . Your start depth and flat depth. Great work.

[@markperkins9437]

Really nice work! I do have a question though. Rather than using a tapered ball nose bit shouldn't it be a sharp pointed engraving bit? You mentioned that you had some small gaps in the inlay. Perhaps that was because of the all nose.

[@TwoMooseDesign]

There are many possible reasons for gaps. I get great results with a ball nose. This was one of my earlier boards. Check out @broinwood he uses a tapered ball nose as well. To me the tapered ballnose are far more durable than a 15 or 30 degree v bit

[@Cvoge1972]

Board looks great. Question - How do you create the thinner end grain boards for the inlay? Do you simply just glue up the thinner pieces? Is that not a nightmare gluing and clamping?

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Same way I make the regular boards, I don’t have an issue just takes a little practice 😁

[@joeydjoe]

When you’re running your carves do you run your clearing passes first and then your Vcarve last?

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Doesn’t matter to me, if the v bits in there I’ll run that first but typically I’ll run the upcut first. Haven’t noticed much of a difference at all

[@martinburdge8820]

I love the boards they looked fantastic, The question I have do you sell them on a web sight, Plus yes it would be great to see more boards made like this.

[@CustomCraftedDesigns]

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Thanks! I’m still experimenting but I made the blanks 5/8” and just bumped them up to 3/4” to hopefully get a more even clamping

[@CustomCraftedDesigns]

Thanks

[@charlesthomas9294]

So, do those larger planers eliminate snipe, or is it about the same as the DeWalt 13"?

It’s definitely better as it should be at 4x+ the cost of the dewalt. You can adjust the rollers and feed drivers to eliminate snipe

Looks great, I usually get nervous towards the end. Will you let me know how you went about clamping the plugs?

Will you let me know what you did? Thanks!

[@TwoMooseDesign]

I used some super deep throat clamps from pony that have worked decent but I bought a press now, it takes a lot of practice to just understand the pressing/clamping of the plug itself. You can have a perfect plug but if you press it bad you’ll have all kinds of gaps.

[@Htxcustom]

@@TwoMooseDesign thank you for the reply. Agreed 100% about practice. I’ve done at least 5 inlays and the results ranged from good to having to scrap the whole thing. I was thinking of a getting a press but wasn’t sure if it was worth the shop space. Thank you again!

[@johndolleslager1270]

Do you have a detailed video about how to do the inlay? On the software side? Thanks in advance.

[@TechTinkerWorks]

Hey! You mentioned it is difficult to center the machine. You have two option to make your life easier. First is free, always center with a pointy endmill (like your 15deg endmill). Zero X and Y then swap endmills then zero Z. Second option is to program a way in your machine to zero itself with touch probe. This may not work for every machine so you have to look into it but this is the easiest and less prone to error.

I want to make them deeper. Do you have have Rex’s to make deeper. I saw comments of .3 for the pocket and .04 for glue. What would the start and flat depth be for .3 pocket? Thanks.

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Hey! Your numbers are confusing? Im not exactly sure what you’re asking. For my cutting boards My female is generally .25 and my plug equals .3 my numbers are irrelevant as they are different with each bit and machine. I would start with a .25 female. Then start depth .1 and flat depth .2 and make adjustments until the plug fits correctly. Nik is great! I learned from him, he does have a course available now.

What game controller are you using for your cnc? Does it work well? I have yet to see someone use one.
