These are great looking projects. I really appreciate the least to most approach to the order as well

[@SothpawDesigns]

Appreciate that brother! Thanks for the support!

[@LYTOMIZE_Woodshop]

Epiphany moment... I knew about pocketing out those small holes on some projects but not for letters I make for my name puzzles. Why some projects and not others? Who knows... but your comment made me think and I'll never struggle with those tabs again. Thanks!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Ha! Glad I could help!

[@billwiley6896]

Great content. Looking forward to future video's.

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks, I've got a lot more coming!

[@jefflanphere857]

Thanks for the CNC settings

[@misury]

So one thing I can mention that I've seen on the onefinity videos is Morgan tends to use a quarter inch bit for roughing out most of it and then he leaves a little lip around the inside bottom portion. Then he runs the bowl bit to flatten and clean it up. Leaving that little lip around the inside allows the bulb at to leave that nice rounded edge. Just an observation. But thank you so much for the videos! 😊

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks for the tip! It's always great to learn new techniques.

[@stuffwithkids7127]

Thank you. Your projects are great.

[@SothpawDesigns]

Glad you liked them! Appreciate the support!

[@RAcreativewoodworks]

Thanks for the information sir 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@SothpawDesigns]

Glad to be of service, friend!

[@hanspijpers2100]

To avoid those burn marks, just simply make a router pattern that starts just outside the board and do a zig zag from top to bottom or vice versa, but always keep the direction changes outside of your board, Kind regards Hans

[@moodefiant4279]

Just a tip on the surfacing, I use shims under the high corners and hot glue on the 4 corners. Denatured alcohol will help making the hot glue easy to remove from the stock. The hot glue comes off easily from the mdf spoil board. I pretty much use hot glue for all of my wood work holding.

[@SothpawDesigns]

Great tip, thanks for sharing!

[@timroberts191]

Great Jobs, thanks for the Show🤠 and thanks for all this Ideas, my personal Favorite is the Calender/Clock🤠👌 wish you all the best to 2025, cheers Fritz🤠🤘

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you! You too!

[@kevknep]

Awesome video, I am really impressed with the designs. I like the grid marks on the spoiler boards. Did you use the CNC to put those on?

[@SothpawDesigns]

Yes I did. I just made a grid in VCarve, then used a V bit to actually cut it. I recently replaced the boards, and need to do it again.

[@kevknep]

@@SothpawDesigns Awesome idea! I'm doing this immediately.

[@SothpawDesigns]

@@kevknep I recommend it highly. Really helps align your material.

[@LTX_Designs]

Not sure if you know this trick but measure your stock with a caliper, instead of manually entering in a cut depth for a profile to cut all the way through use z= in that box. you cut through the stock without cutting into your wasteboard. Also dog holes and kreg in line clamps instead of screwing into the wasteboard. your wasteboard will last much longer and not have uneven spots from screwing in

[@SothpawDesigns]

That's actually a good idea. I run into uneven spots from screw holes, and I've just sanded them off in the past, which over time can also lead to uneven spots. Good call.

[@robertmohr6617]

Would love to make the jewelry box ,did you glue the dowel in the bottom and top so it doesn't come apart

[@SothpawDesigns]

I glued the bottom, not the top, so that the top could rotate.

[@markmelbourne6686]

A brass rod would look great on the small jewelry box.

[@SothpawDesigns]

A couple of people have actually taken that design and done that. It's a great idea.

[@accessiblecruisetravel-dre3383]

Just curious. Why did you face the opening for the wine glasses facing away from the tray?

[@SothpawDesigns]

Don’t really know. Just the decision I made at the time. Could be done either way

[@nwmi493]

I once saw a dust boot that would ride up and down on dowels as the spindle made its way deeper into the project. the Ideas was to prevent the bristles from getting too compressed as the bit made it way down into the work piece. Have you seen this in the past?

[@SothpawDesigns]

I have not. My current dust boot seems to do the job well.

[@enzprintco.8625]

Fancy “AND FUN”, yea, let’s go with that haha

[@SothpawDesigns]

BAHAHAA!!

Is the B on your hat for Boyle County in Kentucky?

[@SothpawDesigns]

Yes it is. I teach at BCHS.

[@DigDeep_Media]

@@SothpawDesigns Nice! I'm a college sports photographer/woodworking in Kentucky. Just thought I recognized it.

[@SothpawDesigns]

@@DigDeep_Media Cool. Small world. Yup, I've taught there for the past 10 years. Spent several years coaching track, esports, and football there. Great times.

@@SothpawDesigns Nice! Love T&F photographing the UK Invitational on the 10th.

Where can i buy your clock ?

[@SothpawDesigns]

See the link in the description

[@dudule1232]

@@SothpawDesigns There is only the design files ... Not the actual clock

[@SothpawDesigns]

@@dudule1232 Sorry, misunderstood you. I just do custom orders for the clock, so you can email me at [e-mail]

[@Horizon-m5o]

I have found using a down cut but with no dust extraction I dont need tabs, try it on a scrap piece.

[@SothpawDesigns]

That scares me, but I’ll give it a shot….. For Science.

[@eitantal726]

Never used a down-cut. Never used a dust extractor, only dust-shoe sometimes. Using double-sided tape when cutting through, clamps otherwise

[@dgperforms1]

What "budget" CNC Machine would you recommend for a beginner? I dont have anything and have never used one. Looking to get into CNC

[@SothpawDesigns]

I've always been the "buy once, cry once" type, and my Onefinity has paid for itself quickly, but I understand what you're saying. Genmitsu makes some quality smaller CNCs, and from what I've seen, has a good reputation in terms of quality. Check my channel, I did a Genmitsu review, a while back, and was impressed with it. Also, I know that many people use Shapeoko and Longmill and have good results with them. Also, Onefinity has an upgrade program, so you can start with smaller ones, then just upgrade certain components as your budget and needs allow (I'm not paid by Onefinity, I just like their product)

[@dgperforms1]

Thanks!

[@glenz881]

Did you remove the files for that first project? I swear it was there lady night and i went to purchase today and it was gone

[@SothpawDesigns]

No, I don't think that I ever added that to my website. I'll add it now.

[@SothpawDesigns]

I posted it. www.sothpawdesigns.com/store/p/2-bottle-wine-and-charcuterie-board

[@PedroLarroy]

Wax paper is parchment paper?

[@SothpawDesigns]

I'm not sure if it's technically the exact same thing, but I've just always called it wax paper. Maybe it's just my redneck upbringing.

[@jq1126]

Parchment paper is heat-resistant and suitable for baking, while wax paper is not heat-resistant and should only be used for cold food storage or preparation. They are not interchangeable, as using wax paper in the oven can cause it to melt or catch fire. Wax paper is cheaper than parchment paper and works great for gluing applications.

[@bamsebrumbamsebrumen5403]

What, no grandpa clock? Just kidding, nice clock 🙂

[@SothpawDesigns]

Ha! Thanks!

Good afternoon

The pads on those Jorgensen clamps are CONSTANTLY falling off.....

[@SothpawDesigns]

Yup...... I went to Harbor Freight and bought packs of extras.

[@bennym1956]

Can't afford the CNC , maybe...

[@eitantal726]

But are they, really? Remember what you're competing against: Cheap etsy crap. If anything makes money, it'd be local, boutique high-end stuff

[@SothpawDesigns]

I appreciate that perspective

[@darkwinter7395]

Don't sell cheap Etsy crap. Sell expensive Etsy crap. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veblen_good

[@TimR1099]

Some people will buy that cheap, Etsy crap because they are cheap and don’t appreciate quality stuff that lasts. Compare a quality wood cabinet next to a pressboard cabinet with a plastic overlay wood print and you’ll instantly know the difference. Especially if you have to move that cabinet.
