I just finished building the handrail on my deck kzbin.infoUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z and used this great little router to clean up the top rail before the final sanding and stain. It was light weight but packed lots of power. Either size battery didn't seem to make it top heavy and I'm a 64 yr old women so I really appreciated how easy it was to use...................... CORDLESS only way to go !!

[@curtiskauffman]

Such a great idea. You just wrote my whole families Christmas gift list, no shopping this year.

[@RobSandstromDesigns]

I remember your first couple videos of Jobs and "The Duke" - never could really duplicate your results - but only tried a couple times and then moved on. Need to go retry. You have come a long way in your KZbin journey as well as your woodworking business. Love your energy. I may want to take a road trip later to Texas just to visit so many makers/KZbinrs in Texas. So true, you never really know until you sand.

[@acerjuglans383]

I usually use sanding sealer, or even lacquer as a pre coat. Looks like you used the hatching carve and not the cross hatching, like I usually do. Nice to see how well it worked out for you, I might need to try that.

[@craigmelvin4889]

Nice big photo job. I am just a hobbyist, but I do have a heavy 4x4 CNC. I always seal wood to prevent bleed. I have done a few of these including just making dots instead of lines.

[@bryck7853]

I built an 80W CO2 laser engraver , it makes pictures by burning into the wood. I've found alder (species of tree) to be a good substrate. $10 wood, some time making a tool path (creating G code) and do what he did. Also, made jewelry boxes with laser engraved images and fill in with color is optional. for $125 up.

[@jaimelocklear641]

Of course moms gonna Love it. My dad would have Loved this John Wayne carved in wood and in black n white shhh perfect 👍 Great Job 👏

[@bryck7853]

I encourage people that don't know what they want to do to get into CNC. Technical & creative. Plus the wages are really good.

[@GarrettBShaw]

Bro, this was amazing and I had never thought of it. Love the Duke!

[@cutting-it-close]

Glad to hear it!

[@Lea-ww9hf]

Yoo! That looks amazing!!! What software you use for 3d carving? I want to learn!!!

[@johnniek8845]

Hey There, The first video of yours I ever watched was the other John Wayne carving you spoke of. I think they both turned out great but I'm leaning towards the first one you made, maybe because of the hand sanding ? being able to hit those darker areas a little longer to lighten and get some more detail. ? the Steve Jobs came out great too. Always cool stuff, thanks for sharing.

[@peterflynn9942]

What program are you using to take that picture into a format for the cnc

[@siukcnc]

Normally you're bang on with the cost/investment. Setting up the wood, time for wood to dry & then flatteh, then the graphic / cam, then 2 hrs cutting, then spray paint, then skim, $200 didn't cover it!

[@produmaquinas8846]

Great job man

[@cutting-it-close]

Thank you it means alot!

[@Dios-di8zd]

Cool

[@chrisharrell5945]

What is the head collet vise you have mounted on your I-beam in the shop? Is that simply something the cnc manufacturer's make, Or?

[@floknight5072]

You're such a great source of inspiration for me ! Well done !

[@cutting-it-close]

Wow, thank you!

[@floknight5072]

I've just started my CNC business in my hometown in France, and this after I discovered cutting-it-close three months ago, yes buddy 3 months. I was so convinced I could get easy money using a cnc that I got involved in it and tada, today I signed my first $1000 contract for two pieces of work. I don't know how to be grateful enough with you. Viva America, viva cutting-it-close!

[@cutting-it-close]

Love to hear that! I wish you nothing but success!

[@floknight5072]

@@cutting-it-closeSupport coming from you is priceless. YOU have paved the way to success in CNC home business for so many people, we just have to walk in the same direction ! We'll cut it right!

[@raymondcampbell876]

Dude… Just letting you know I appreciate all you are doing

[@cutting-it-close]

Thank you Raymond, guys like you keep me making these videos!

[@Pedja-J7]

​@@cutting-it-closesorry, what is the name of tool path, is it smart engraving, or simple V carving, and is this possible with artcam?

[@HickorySticksWoodworksNW]

That’s money bro great job

[@darkspace3316]

That "character" excuse is a good cover for messing things up. Gotta use this on my next blunder! lol!

[@user-kz2ob5ki7j]

Hello my friend, thank you for this good movie. Please produce and upload more of these wood carving videos. There are many questions about the Steve Jobs clip, please answer. 1- For example, what is the exact type of the board you are carving on (especially the specifications of the board coating) and how did you manage to make that white epoxy coating on the board? 2- How to paint photos with epoxy?

[@mandomelendez5914]

Ok, do you do custom photos cause if you do, WELL!!!

[@xxwales15xx33]

How did you price this one up?

[@marvinkarsten2760]

Can you make a Video of how you use your machine where you make the table tops/clamp and glue boards together

[@jaimelocklear641]

Lol😂 woodchip shrimp... 😂

[@Silverturky]

is there any way to do this with fusion 360?

[@PouncinZebra]

Would anyone know how to do this in fusion 360? Or have a link to a tutorial?

[@theepicguy951]

what software do you use

[@johnstuart9965]

He's using V-Carve or Vetric it has a plug in for creating photos using , lines, or Dots or like a magazine like look, it carves into the wood

[@dennismcaleer242]

What software did you use for the John Wayne Portrait?

[@cutting-it-close]

Aspire

[@dennismcaleer242]

Cool thanks!

[@arunvivek100]

​@@cutting-it-closeI need the software sir help me

[@Evaku_09]

Круто что сказать, возьму на вооружение

[@RobSandstromDesigns]

One other thought - you didn't teach how to setup the carve in vCarve Pro like you did in your videos a couple years ago. You may want to add a card into the video pointing to those videos you previously made - will help people and also drive people to another of your videos. Again - well done.

[@cutting-it-close]

Thank you Rob! You’ve been here since 5K subs, I really appreciate all of the advice

[@RobSandstromDesigns]

@@cutting-it-close how gracious of you. I am no one to give advice. I can't seem to get my channel to grow but every once in awhile i share a thought and if someone with skills implements it - it may even turn out to be useful. You have skills go do good things.

[@thecreator1455]

Great job If mom doesn't want it, I'll take it.

[@cutting-it-close]

🤣

[@KWANTlZE]

how you give it to ya moms and sell it for $200 at the same dam time lmao. ???

[@GarrettBShaw]

If I followed your question, he said way back a long time ago he made one and ended up selling that one for $200. His mom was sad because she thought it was really neat and wish he had kept it. So this time he made a new one to give to her. That make sense?

[@KWANTlZE]

@@GarrettBShaw yes now it does

[@PumpiPie]

Can you sell this?? Or does it go under the copyright rule?? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@adamtalat2165]

If you sell it what will be the price?

[@RobSandstromDesigns]

Based on his video if he sells it, he will be in trouble with momma 😂😂

[@PumpiPie]

@@RobSandstromDesigns But can he sell it do??? It probley break some copyright rule??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
