Thank you so much for showing us how you designed the cigar ashtray! I have to say I was truly impressed when you had your OCD moment-my jaw dropped at how beautifully organized everything is! 😱 Please never apologize for that; it is a craftsman's dream to be organized the way you are! 🙂

Thank you for the comment and kind words.

[@MakersGottaEat]

Beautiful work. Appreciate all the details you shared. Any rough idea how many minutes on the CNC it took?

[@eastwingvintagewoodworking4797]

Thanks for the kind words and the question. Roughly 36 minutes.

Awesome video. What is that purple surface you put the tray on

[@eastwingvintagewoodworking4797]

Thanks for your question… The purple surface you’re asking about is 120 grit sandpaper, glued to a piece of plywood. I also have the underside of that piece of plywood covered in sandpaper too. I use that as a way to keep the material from moving around while I’m standing it either by hand or with an electric/orbital sander.

On the 1" bowl bit I am curius what is your bit settings. Depth per pass and feed rate primarily. Very nice video.

[@eastwingvintagewoodworking4797]

.093 depth per pass, .250 step over, 20 plunge rate, 45 feed rate. Router setting 10,000 rpm.

Just got a sub outta me. Great work.

[@tony97gt]

Nice work. What type of wood are you using and where’d you find those t track clamps?

[@eastwingvintagewoodworking4797]

Thanks! I typically use three species of wood for my ashtray’s. African mahogany, hard, maple, and Walnut. The T Track Clamps came from Carbide 3D. I ordered them when I purchased the machine.

[@kaseemali6771]

Nice work. What's type and name of the oil did you use. Thanks in advance.

[@eastwingvintagewoodworking4797]

Tung oil.

[@slickspade]

Great job. What CNC machine as a beginner should I use to make an ashtray?

[@eastwingvintagewoodworking4797]

That’s a great question. I believe most if not all desktop CNC’s are capable of doing the job. It’s ultimately going to come down to your budget. There are plenty of CNC Machine options out there, I would suggest do your research and focus on features that are important to you. Size, sturdiness, built-in waste-board are some things to consider. Hope this helps.

[@larrywoodson696]

What’s the name of the cnc machine being use.

[@eastwingvintagewoodworking4797]

Shapeoko Pro XXL from Carbide 3D.
