Carbide Create Pro Tutorial - Design and Carve This Wooden Spoon

[@CCaraway]

It's actually great that you are actually giving step by instructions. Your other videos that just show the machine running really don't help anyone.

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Some videos are to teach, others are just to inspire.

[@kylerounds7599]

I like seeing the machine run for comparison when running your own.

[@Dan-vc6zb]

Hi Chris. Thanks for this video. The most powerful part was there at the end where you showed your failures. As a newbie, I have lots of those. It helps my attitude to know I'm not alone. Much appreciated.

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Thank you. Mistakes are just part of it. I have a pile of fire wood to prove it haha

[@brendaboyce9967]

That’s really cool! My favorite part was when the router started smoothing out the layers of the spoon that it had made. Don’t miss this video!

[@MichaelDavidHiltner]

Thanks Chris! I've been trying to hammer in just how to create a bowl of a spoon / bowl for my CNC! And here ya are showing me! D'Oh!... I just have to manipulate it to Aspire, since I don't use Carbide Create Pro on my Shapeoko Pro (which has yet to even see electricity! - It's just sitting out in the cold waiting for Spring to arrive!). I do believe with your assistance here, I will have many projects lined up this Summer! Thanks Chris! Keep up the fantastic Maker Work! Hammer those videos away!

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Thanks for watching. Please share what you’re making with me if you have IG or Facebook.

@@ChrisPowellFSD I have 2 Shapeoko's. The Pro & SO3. They are in unheated shops right now, so, since the temps here are like -30's for the past 3 weeks, nothing will happen in my sheds until April - May I figure. I was carving Tree Rounds with 3D Bas Relief models this past fall. Lots of "Awesomes" at our Christmas Craft Show this past December (Proof Of Covid Req'd to enter), so sales this year sure SUCKED! But the Awesomes inspired many. We sold a few, but the population just wasn't there. What is IG? And I don't like Facebook too much, other than our A&M Craftwerks page, where you can see what we are up to. Take care, Chris! TTFN...

[@englishcountryliving448]

That was great! Taught me so much and didn't seem anywhere like 40 mins. Thank you.

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Thank you. Glad you learned something from it.

[@-fenderbassman977]

Thank You Chris. Your videos have taught me so much.

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Glad to hear it. Thanks for watching!

[@kennethd2643]

Good job, thank you for not killing me with cheesey music and having decent volume!

[@JohnColgan.]

Nice work Chris, added to my upcoming project list

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Awesome!

[@billm2158]

Good demo of CC Pro, and inspiration for me. Thanks.

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Thanks. Still one of my favorite projects.

[@3MonkeysSolderless]

Nice The Tick reference! SPOOOOOOOOON!!!

[@cullensimpson8411]

Chris, I was looking for good project to do as my first 2 sided job and decided a spoon would be good. Found a file on CutRocket but didn't understand how he got there. I am now following your video going step by step so that I understand it better. There is a lot of power in that 3D modeler in CCPro but I haven't grasped all the intricacies of it yet so having videos like this really help. I do notice that your RPM are way lower than what I typically use. I am not an F&S expert and generally take the defaults which tend to be in the 12k-18k range but you are showing more like 6k-8k. Given that it has been a long time since you made this video, do you still think those are good values? Also, your DOC was deeper than my defaults which cause my runtime values to be significantly greater than yours. I am going to try a 1/8" tapered ball nose for the finishing passes rather than the #102.

[@jamiebarr7367]

Thanks man I’m new to carbide create

[@Chrichelle]

very excellent spoon :P

[@JohnColgan.]

How would you do a treasure chest lid? Every design I try curves in from all 4 sides, instead of just long edges

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Carbide can be tough to manipulate. The 3d really isn’t very good. Maybe you can make it longer than needed and cut off the ends somehow.

[@JohnColgan.]

@@ChrisPowellFSD thanks for quick reply. I had thought that option, and give it steep angle to minimise ends bowing in .... I'd hate to have to go back to Easel, not had time to practice on CarveCo

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

It might be something that’s just easier to model up in a program like fusion 360. Sometimes shapes like that can be a little difficult in cnc router software.

[@brycecacho2624]

How did you get 15. The latest version I can find is 14? It does not have a rough 3D operation.

[@710Ken]

Hi Chris; I'm wondering... if you are able to add text along a curve on the Z ? In other words the inside of the spoon?

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

You should be able to, but you wouldn’t be able to v carve them. You would do them last, and just subtract them from the design. It should follow the curve that’s there.

[@patrickhealey3778]

IN THE VIDEO YOU SAID YOU WOULD INCLUDE THE LINK TO THE SPOON SVG THAT YOU USED. WHERE IS IT?

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

It’s in the description for the video.

[@MrRonr2]

Only problem is the handle is to short - can't get good swing when paddling butts. HaHa very good job showing how it's done.

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

That’s a good point. Might have to modify the design a little.

[@nicholasbayer6020]

What version of carbide create were you using? I don’t have 3d rough option

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

315

[@nicholasbayer6020]

Chris Powell how can I download 315, I can’t find it?

[@brycecacho2624]

I can not find it either.

[@brycecacho2624]

Where did you get it? Did carbide send it to you to try?

[@CCaraway]

It's a link to the free trial for Pro... If you are in the Shapeoko Facebook group I'll get you the link.

[@Olivsam]

Chris do you know if you can update the version of carbide create while using the free pro trial or will that cause issues? Mine is a little buggy but I don't think I have the latest version

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

Yea I just updated mine the other day. Didn’t have any issues.

[@Olivsam]

@@ChrisPowellFSD thanks does it uninstall or or do you have to enable the free trial again?

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

It just updates your current version.

[@Jdswoodcrafts]

did anyone catch the final run time? like real time. I feel like the time that its going to take on my machine was way longer than what he showed. ps I know it was sped up for the Video

[@CCaraway]

I'm in.... If you can teach me to do the spoon in 40 min then I don't care how long the video is.

[@stxchlfflstxchlffl]

Awesome tutorial, but get a mouse pad. The dragging noise of the mouse is extremely annoying.

[@shanx2001]

Please send spoon gcord 🙏🙏🙏

[@HaasMill]

Is carbide create free?

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

The basic version is. You have to pay for pro.

[@Runnerbeandaz]

I use fusion360 much quicker

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

I’ve found just picking one up at Walmart to be much quicker.

[@KimberlyWendt-lc2iv]

allergies?
