Great Job from an Old US Army Vietnam veteran who is trying to learn how to do epoxy inlays on my CAMaster CNC.

Very nice. It’s always stressful for me when I do something I never done before. So many steps that have to be done in the right order. Thanks for sharing.

Great work! Love the speed you can run your router without issues. Can you point me in the direction you sourced your gantry and rails?
@TyMakesStuff3 күн бұрын
The gantry is homemade out of layered 3/4 Birch plywood. The rails are all vslot extruded aluminum. Drive system varies by axis, belt drive in the y and lead screw in the x and z.

Great project I would look at getting a custom dust shoe for the spindle for easier removal of the shavings. To reduce the stress do the epoxy work as separate parts and then inlay them into the tray as a finishing step. IMHO Great CAM work shows in the finished product (: (:

FIRST - I would have likely made the emblem an entire plaque that just gets "inlaid" into the bowl. That was probably a PITA working in the bottom of the bowl like that.

This is a great point. The Marine Corps is known for many things but not for their taste and skill in the arts. I'm kicking myself now that you pointed this out because what matters in these epoxy inlays is how closely it matches the original. I should have made a point of showing the original squadron patch in the video for comparison. Won't make that mistake again.

Beautiful work...the camera did not capture the carving out of the letters, which appeared to have been filled with black resin a second time. Yes?
@TyMakesStuff3 ай бұрын
No, the lettering was done during the red step after the black flood fill.

Ty, what was your final sanding grit on the epoxy? BTW, if you are in the SoCal area our CNC Inland Empire Woodworking club would love for you to give us a presentation.
@TyMakesStuff3 ай бұрын
@Mattvalor I think I took the epoxy face to 800g on this one. 220-400g is usually about as far as the wood needs to go but the epoxy can benefit from the extra attention. Then again in this case the real life patches are not glossy so there was no need to polish all the way to 3000+ Wow, I am very glad to hear that your group is enjoying my work. I am not in California but I am more than happy to chat any time. There was another person on here asking about some of my fusion360 settings for this project and I was planning to punch it up in the video description. Maybe you all will find that useful as well.

Ty, I mixed translucent yellow dye with epoxy to fill small flowers, but after curing you can see straight to the bottom of the mahogany. What dyes to you use that are not translucent?

I know its asking a lot, but what feeds, speeds, depth of cut and types of endmills are you using? Did you do the cam using fusion? The rough resembles mastercam.

Did you design the tray yourself? Would love to make something similar with my own rank and unit patches. Also, thank you for popping the air bubble in the mineral oil at the end. It was driving me nuts.😂😂 Semper Fi, Brother!
@TyMakesStuff3 ай бұрын
I designed the tray in fusion360 and the rank insignia and squadron patch were converted to svg from regular images. You can probably find nice sharp svg's of your unit patches on etsy for a few bucks If you want to save some time.

Wow beautiful work ❤how much cost
@TyMakesStuff4 ай бұрын
Material cost? Maybe 10 bucks. I get the walnut from a local hardwood supplier. Straight from the scrap offcuts bin for $3/lb. Epoxy isn't cheap but probably just a few dollars worth is used here. Labor cost? Well.... 😂

Were the squadron patch and SSGT directly imported or was there a conversion program involved?
@TyMakesStuff4 ай бұрын
I converted the original images into svg's and cleaned them up a little using Adobe Capture and then imported to fusion360.

Total boat general purpose epoxy and a combination of mica powder and alcohol inks for the pigment.
