Making a CNC Router Name Puzzle out of Wood

[@patrickmeehan3728]

I bet items like this would sell like hotcakes at flea markets and festivals. Also, a super clever tip about making your own tabs. Very helpful!

[@lesbodwell8739]

Great idea! Here's a little tip with that butcher block finish. Put what you need in a small jar then place that in a bowl of hot water. Just hot from the tap is fine. This will give much better penetration. Cold you can see the solid wax particles, hot it's liquid. Thanks for the video!

That’s an awesome tip! I can’t wait to try it

Very nice simple project that looks cool...love the color choice

[@MakersWorkshopLLC]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the compliment. Sometimes the simplest things I’ve made are my favorites

[@Gnew111]

Do you have a link for the router bit you used in this video? We just got a CNC and are going to try our first cut soon. :)

[@iluvey3597]

Hey! Thanks for such an easy to follow/understand video. What brand paint did you use?

[@alyssalinzmayer7600]

love this video! im using carbide create and so confused about how to make tabs!!! any insight that could help? thanks!!

[@taraconnell119]

Hi! Is there a way to do this if you don’t have the scroll saw?

[@MakersWorkshopLLC]

Absolutely. You can set your CNC Router to cut smaller tabs and just sand them off. Alternatively, ahem you seen the painter's tape and super glue trick? It allows you to tape your material to the build plate and eliminate the need for tabs all together.

Hey Brooke, I followed you video, curious how you deal with the oily residue of the butcher block? Mine feels almost too oily to give to someone. I used Howards as well. Thanks

[@MakersWorkshopLLC]

Thanks so much for following along, and great question. I always apply the butcher's block conditioner pretty generously and let it soak in over night before touching it again. Then I thoroughly wipe the excess off with a bone dry cloth; If it is oily enough that you can feel it with your hands then it is likely oily enough for there to still be some to buff off. Then I let it sit again. It will still feel a bit slick for a couple of days as it finishes setting up. Let me know if this helps.

I literally had to follow and subscribe after your partner said his say at the end

[@MakersWorkshopLLC]

To be honest, I get it. Michael is way cooler than I am

[@karenhadden4980]

Great project! How deep did you make the pocket?

[@MakersWorkshopLLC]

I believe it’s 1/4 inch. Not tremendously deep, but enough that the blocks rest in there nicely

[@amimiller1976]

What CNC router do you use?

[@MakersWorkshopLLC]

This is a Carvey by Inventables. Unfortunately I don’t believe they sell them new anymore, but it’s a great little machine. Though I don’t know how easy it is to find them used, i’d recommend it as a machine

[@sarrahfofanah9412]

What CNC router currently at the market would you recommend.

[@10phuket]

please let me know the brand and model of CNC router used

[@MakersWorkshopLLC]

This is an Inventables Carvey CNC Router. Unfortunately I believe that they discontinued this model but it’s a great machine if you can find one second-hand
