I had an idea to incorporate bent lamination into a light fixture then saw this video. Great production and workmanship. Subscribed.

You should give it a go, it’s a fun way to play with bent lamination. Thank you, and welcome to the channel!

Enjoyed the build process, your small CNC works well. They look very stylish. Tony

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thank you! Yeah, the CNC took a lot of tweaking but I got it dialed in now.

Idk why you only have 30k subs. Your content is elite!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thank you! Getting there one step at a time.

Loved this video… we are having a prototype project for a next gen baby bed and I wondered how you can minimize the visibility of where the two veneers half circles are glued together. Is just sanding enough and they look still high quality and beautiful? Would appreciate any input from you on this question. (We rather have an undetectable cutting edge where the are glued together.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thanks! If that’s the case you could edge band the lower end. Though that will be pretty tricky unless you have something like a CNC to cut circle for the lower portion. Honestly, it’s not super noticeable unless you’re looking for it.

Shane, very very cool Man!!! I'm pretty quick at catching on to how things are made but, this kept me riveted till the end... Get it, get it?? They really do look cool. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Haha nice one! Thank you man, I appreciate it!

[@creepdealer]

Hello, great project and very nice looking. Have you ever considered or had to joint the edges of both half circle forms each other? I know you butt glued the edges and is just popped in my mind that the envoirment could cause separations on the glued edges of the half circle forms? If it s necessary to make joints, I wonder how? 🤔

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thank you! Yeah, I did consider doing lap joints but getting them to align properly would be pretty tricky. Plus the MDF mount adds quite a bit of structure. Which is why I ultimately went that route.

[@creepdealer]

@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks thank you, good luck.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

@@creepdealer no worries! Thanks!

[@timbatimbero3934]

Superb ! Enjoyed to the last second. We make lamps too. Suscribed

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Thanks! Happy to hear that!

Why not cut the aluminium on the CNC to get clean edges all around?

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

I suppose you could, I just didn’t want to deal with the shavings in the shop.

[@Kosh42EFG]

They aren't that bad. I've cut a few bits on mine and clean up is easy.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Right, but I use the dust in the garden and don't want the metal shavings in there.

[@Kosh42EFG]

That would not be good. Metal chips are cleaned with my shop vac that goes in the bin. My dust collector with wood chip only and goes on my compost heap. Do you use it direct on the garden or composted?

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

@@Kosh42EFG We mix it into the compost. But stay away form mixing walnut in, that will kill everything.
