Extra-Fancy Gaff Tape Dispenser

[@RexusKing]

One pet peeve I have on all tape dispensers is that they are all too light (in weight), rendering one hand operation impossible.

[@PtrOBrn]

Probably should add a dowel to fit into a bench dog hole and then it wouldn't move... would mean you couldn't use it on a flat surface but around the shop how often are you going to move this.

[@caitlyn7310]

I have a tape dispenser that I think is weighed down on the inside by sand. Doesn't budge at all with one hand

[@jdwoods22]

Most are because they tend to be top heavy

[@JimBeshears]

Love the sign on the table saw.

[@donaldasayers]

A really good tape dispenser needs to be heavy enough to pull the tape out without having to hold the dispenser with your other hand.

[@vinny142]

Nice, now do one completely by hand :-)

[@rickdearmont9950]

vinny142 YES! I have come to be completely turned off by CNC projects. They are fine, I guess, but it isnt really what I go to the shop to do.

[@maxximumb]

If this had been a combination of CNC and regular woodworking, it would have been more entertaining. Maybe if the CNC was just used for the spindle pocket with the rest of the project done with tools we all have access to. Or one half CNC'd the other half done manually. So we could see how it could be achieved with either tool setup. Whilst the 3D printed spool part was OK, it would have been nice to see how to make it from wood. Maybe cut 3 holes in a triangle with a 40mm forstner bit then cut the spool out with a hole saw or band saw. CNC projects just seem like a long ad for the x-carve, which is something I'm never going to buy.

[@Neslakim]

This guys no Mathias Wendel that's for sure xD

[@xenonram]

When you're using the file on stock spinning in the drill press, only use it on the right side. If you use the file on the left side, the file is trying to cut "with the grain," and it won't cut. (Unless you reverse the spindle.)

[@maxximumb]

Why not make it out of 6 layers, then you would not have to hollow out such a large area with the CNC? Make two maple spacers and thinner sides. Less wasted wood too.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Really cool! 👍👊

[@mversantvoort]

Nice! I’ll try this some day without the use of a CNC machine!

[@DarylVanHumbeck]

I noticed that you only used a straight blade for the cutter. Would it be easier to use if you used a serrated blade? Leaving aside the issue of how to make it, of course...

[@MAKE]

Daryl Van Humbeck I was actually just experimenting making a serration on the other side of the bevel cut. I added the serrations using a triangle file. Works pretty well!

[@ChrisRuby]

Nice build. I think I'd be easier to use if you weighed it. A pocket at the bottom with buck shot or something would work. Also if you honed the cutting edge it would cut straight. Great idea though.

[@HickLif3]

I completely lost interest as soon as you said you were using a cnc machine. it would not be that hard to use a router and then cut it out on a scroll saw. probably could have done it faster than that x carve did too. no skill required in this except computer modeling

[@shammient]

Definitely worth your time to get confident changing bits. No point running that pocket with an 1/8" bit. Should only take a minute to change bits and re-zero Z. Big pocket first then roller pocket then pins (which I don't think we're really necessary, like you said).

[@finnmcrae]

Anchoring it to a surface would help to operate it with one hand. Nice project though 👍🏻

[@stabilini]

Dumb peopel complies about using CNC (wich is a tool !). For MAKE, waste of wood and time making that big pocket, you should use more layeres

[@EckCop]

Weird hearing gaffer tape called gaff tape. I think a hacksaw blade would have worked better, holder needs weight, profile for pivot too high and not long enough, not well designed for manufacture... But it looks nice...

[@odiekokee]

In general, you'll get better results on CNC machines with climb milling, as much as it hurts my brain coming from a conventional machine background.

[@TheOssom]

Why put so much effort into making this extra-fancy when you can't put more weight to make it one hand use? And why you didn't sharpen the blade for easy cutting?

[@RealRuler2112]

This is a cool project idea and I may well try it, but I really have learned to hate CNC in woodworking projects. =(

[@zumbazumba1]

Yea god dammn CnC machines They tooook our Joooobs ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIa3n4GBnatge7c

[@RealRuler2112]

LOL - that video is blocked because of copyleft, but I know exactly what it is. =) Didn't really take anything from me though as I'm a computer programmer. CNC is really simple to program and has it's place in mass manufacturing, but I expected to see how to make the item in the thumbnail rather than load a piece of wood in a machine and let it make it. (Hence why I said 'in wwing projects' in my original comment. =) )

[@spaceburgers4946]

No! Not Polyken! ProGaff is better! :D

[@aliendwarf94]

Wanna rebuild it at your own? No Problem just use your cnc Router and 3d Printer everyone should have one by now

[@capman911]

Great project. How about one for use wiring enthusiast and make one for electrical tape. :-)

[@MrRShoaf]

I think you need more weight and or a bigger base so you can dispense tape one handec.

[@davidjoynson1774]

Very nice finished product but I agree that relying heavily on CNC really means it is not much better than a shop bought item. BTW Why do our colonial cousins refer to the tape as "Gaff" tape? Again, nice, neat finished product, with a well presented video. Dave

[@BruceAUlrich]

Cool...and extra fancy!

[@Dracheneks]

Got here quickly! What an awesome idea! Have you tried making it a theme, like a horse or something. That'd be cool to see. Thanks!

[@philrichmond7567]

Syph Dragon great idea

[@Dracheneks]

Phil Richmond Thank you!

[@philrichmond7567]

Syph Dragon Have a look on my wall. I've made a ping pong lamp. I've got a music track on there you might like also and my pet tarantula is there as well.

[@kedrick113]

Can I have the fusion cad file

[@ManCrafting]

What’s up Tyler! Great project. I remember the first time I worked on a film set and got to use gaffers tape. I surprised it’s not more readily available in stores. If it it was I think the price would come down. As always, well done on the filming and editing.

[@MAKE]

Thanks Chad! Gaff tape seems crazy for its price the first time you use it. but the more you work with it, the more its value seems apparent. It's my favorite tool.

[@balk8154]

You can add some weight to it 👍🖒👍

[@stevewatts3502]

yh, I thought magnets and non-slip under it, at the very least.

[@isaaclyonsf1]

Cool

[@mikkosrussos]

In the history of pointless things this is right up there. Gaffa tape; easy to find the end, easy to tear by hand, leaves cutting edges covered in residue.

[@mynamesmike88]

What a fail 4:08

[@jimpeterson3633]

Cool idea

[@StuffWithKirby]

Looks great. Do you find it sliding around much due to being light? Or is it always used two handed?

[@VolpeInCalze]

Gaff tape is the best. Love it!

[@soloo4000]

Good

[@mohamedzanaty4895]

good

[@leksey7870]

Very convenient!

[@MrMilarepa108]

I like you, I do not like CNC routers and 3D printer. The channel is called make, not print.

[@xenonram]

CargoCultScientist What's the difference. Using only manual tools to make stuff is the most ignorant way of thinking.

[@Sprank900]

you gotta bolt that badboy down! : )

[@hyperperfume]

☆☆☆☆☆

[@RogerBurgess]

Looks good but if I did it I think the base would need to be heavier and more grippy in order for it to be used one handed to be useful.

[@buildersmark]

Good project

[@Dumps3rFir3]

Why do you not like to change out bits when you're carving?

[@Loran1972]

Super idée... mais si on n'a pas de CNC ni d'imprimante 3D, on ne peut rien faire... :(

[@RSpudieD]

This is really cool!

[@MAKE]

Thank you!

[@davebuts1921]

It looks great mate, a very nice project.

[@DataCab1e]

Too bad it can only dispense extra-fancy gaff tape.

[@ItaloLima]

Good !!

[@StuffWithKirby]

You should’ve used a laser cutter and made it out of acrylic layers. Unsubscribe, lol. A lot of people butthurt that this wasn’t made with handtools only. Who cares how its made, the concept is the important part. Some people aren’t comfortable using hand tools and would prefer to print or cnc cut it. Or they dont have the time but know how to make it using the methods they have.

[@MAKE]

This guy gets it

[@DroiMedia]

Awesome build!

[@crankMiHoffer]

I found inspiration in this video. Thank you.

[@cutelittledevil88]

very neat. I am also totally going to steal the idea for a I am trying to kill you sign for our hackerspace.

[@MAKE]

cutelittledevil88 that's awesome!

All CNC and 3d print... I fail to see the woodworking abilities in that. It could be much more interested and not that much complicated to do it by hand.

[@blainemarquise]

Andrés I. González Andújar it’s not a video about woodworking abilities, it’s a video about making a wooden tape dispenser.

[@Sprank900]

you gotta bolt that badboy down! : )

[@benl9255]

Always climb mill my friend. Already with metal.

[@MAKE]

I've been shy with climb milling because my machine isn't very rigid and I mostly cut metals. It's been fun to learn when one toolpath is better than others.

[@komillz]

When you run out of ideas

[@Kofman2012]

все так сложно ...((((

[@Sergey_Truhin]

Да не говори. Правильно Задорнов говорил, что они тупые. )))

[@mothereric8774]

Now tucking and taping is all that much easier!

[@xenonram]

MotherEric Mother... Eric... Sounds like you know a lot about that.

[@mothereric8774]

Actually nah, that was a nickname for how i was like the mother of my friend group. Me being trans and my nickname are unrelated. I just used that instead of Eric as there are probably tons of Eric’s.

[@sonicase]

completely unnecessary use of cnc

[@opcomment]

It's good for beginners learning CNC

[@bigdadtrav]

no skill in this computer project at all

[@orvh5223]

nope, not impressed.

[@hiiri007]

Grate video :3

[@vinny142]

Why?

[@spaceburgers4946]

You're a waste of wood.

[@sugarbooty]

I have a waste of wood every morning

[@MAKE]

I'll make the next one from hard cheeses, then. What do you think, parmesan and pecorino?

[@xenonram]

Make: Don't listen to him... He's obviously a bit slow.
