You shared a couple of subtle tricks here which specifically solve problems I've had trying similar projects (though not this complex). Great stuff. Earned my sub 😁

[@jonm189]

Fascinating process and a really detailed explaination - makes it sound so simple! I already have a similar project in mind, this will be very helpful. Thank you!

I liked the video, i've always struggled with Fusion but I still use it and try to learn it. I like my VCarve pro, but they're not the same. When it comes to 3d, i prefer fusion. Keep it up!

[@ifiwooddesigns]

You can replicate this on Pro. Bring up the plane to 1.75” and use dish method from clippart. Then for the text you can VCarve it to follow the 3D tool path.

[@EricksonWoodworking]

Thanks! I’m hoping to make more how-to’s with Fusion

[@EricksonWoodworking]

Very cool! I started testing some of my .STL models in different softwares, so far so good and they are definitely able to work

This will be my FIRST router job. I have family that love science and I dont sell items. I only give items as gifts as it is about giving my time as that is priceless and one can never get it back. As to the Fusion software - my mind flipped out after the first 45sec. I can not grasp 3d software - just does my head in.. Thank you

[@EricksonWoodworking]

Awesome! Definitely reach out if you need any help at all!

[@ifiwooddesigns]

Absolutely great tutorial. Love the format of step-by-step, to machine, and to finished product and everything in between. Unfortunately I don’t use Fusion but can do this with VCarve Pro using dish method. Hope you do many more videos this way. I don’t mind the length of video when you get the whole project from start to finish. No one else goes the whole nine yards. Keep up the great work and looking forward to next concept.

[@EricksonWoodworking]

Thanks!!! Eventually I’ll get you to convert to Fusion360 🤓

[@ifiwooddesigns]

@@EricksonWoodworking , I would love to but invested in VCarve and it suited me when I was looking into programs. I’m sure the learning curve is tremendous but powerful for many other uses. Funny thing, my son just signed up for a Robitics class, so I wanted to learn TinkerCAD along with him. I got the hang of it with their tutorials and within 3 hours, I was making STL files and importing them into Vectric. Seems like a stripped down version of Fusion. So maybe I’ll try it if I can figure out where to download the free version. If I do pick it up, you’ll definitely be my inspiration. Thanks for your reply and looking forward to your upcoming videos and projects.

[@EricksonWoodworking]

Absolutely! That’s really cool they are teaching robotics in school. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything about Fusion or woodworking! Cheers 🍻

[@TimW275]

Awesome Video!! Super tutorial and step by step walk through…. Definitely looking forward to attempting this myself. Very well done!

[@EricksonWoodworking]

Go for it! Post a picture on my Patreon if you make one! Cheers!

[@willynilly3d994]

Amazing video. I couldn't stop watching once I started. Which table saw sled are you using when you squared your wood? Thanks

[@jonathanyost5546]

Thanks for yet another great video. Your videos have helped me a lot while learning how to model and program more 3D work! Keep it up!

[@EricksonWoodworking]

Great to hear! Thank you for the positive feedback!

[@peteredwards2371]

Thank you ❤️👍😊

[@WasatchBarnWoodworking]

Fantastic video, I agree it was long, but it needed to be to capture all the steps. At your suggestion from a few months ago I started learning Fusion 360. It's a steep learning curve, but this video came along at a perfect time for me to give what I have been doing a try. I'll probably have to go back to the CAM stuff a couple dozens times. :) Thanks for sharing the files again. I really appreciate it. Scott

[@EricksonWoodworking]

Thanks Scott!!! If you ever need any help with Fusion, please reach out! Cheers!

[@susiecarpio7898]

Very nice

[@grzegorzryczanowski]

it is another level

[@EricksonWoodworking]

Thanks!

[@BipinBabu-k4c]

Such a great tutorial from a person who has actual expertise...!! Thank You for educating us..! Can you please continue this series with multi sided operations and tricks to locate the job for multiple ops and such advanced stuff in fusion 360...?? I think it is bit more confusing for beginners.!! I have watched some tutorials to use soft jaw methods with special geometries to set WCS. I will wait for more tutorials....Thanks a lot again..!

[@BipinBabu-k4c]

If possible, Please do tutorial series on actual furniture parts with curvature and mortise and tenons on its sides...etc For example, curved table leg with non-symmetric features on sides. Flipping them and rotating them are a nightmare..!!! Those tutorials would be highly helpful for people like us..!! Thanks again sir..!

[@EricksonWoodworking]

I’ll definitely try to see what I can come up with. Making furniture is something I’ve always wanted to do. Fusion is more than capable to do this. I’ll put it on my list of future projects! Cheers! 🍻

[@cd7140]

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into sharing your methods. I learned some new techniques!

[@EricksonWoodworking]

Thanks! I’m really glad these videos help!

[@BrentDaughertyMe]

Amazing project and step by step. I've been wanting to get into CNC for a while. But the amount of knowledge of both the 3D tool and CNC specs is overwhelming. What do you recommend to get started?

[@EricksonWoodworking]

It definitely can be overwhelming! I went with Carbide3D Shapeoko 4Pro and so glad I did. The machines are great, but their customer service and their online community exceeds all expectations! It got me started and excelled my use far beyond I’d ever thought it would. That would be my best recommendation, the software and CNC bits will come later once you get started. Cheers!

[@Robertodue2]

Is there an .stl version of this? I cannot open the f3d version. Thanks!

[@EricksonWoodworking]

Hey Robert, I didn’t produce a .STL file for this, but on my Patreon, I have a similar model that has the .STL and can be imported to other softwares. It includes both sides of the profile for double sided machining. Here is the link: www.patreon.com/EricksonDesignandWoodworking/shop/3d-wooden-holder-with-base-321231?Link&
