Using an Inventables X-carve sure opens the door to making some really amazing things! In this video, I use my CNC to help make an absolutely beautiful end-grain walnut cutting board with a contrasting maple inlay as well as a couple more features! Watch the video to see just how versatile an X-carve can be (flattening, carving, engraving, etc.) and how useful it would be in YOUR shop!

After having the X-carve for awhile, mind giving a review on it? Heard good and bad things and would love to hear your take.

[@FishersShop]

In short, I can just tell you that at first I didn't think a CNC had a place in my shop. And now, I'm very happy to have it and am constantly thinking of projects where I can use it. There's a bit of a learning curve at first, but once you get comfortable with its capabilities, you start to see how it can be used to simplify certain tasks or to accomplish things that normally you wouldn't have been able to do. Couple that with how affordable it is, and the X-carve is a great choice. I encourage you to check out the links that take you to Inventables. There, you can configure a machine sized appropriately for your shop with as many or as few bells and whistles that you want. Plus, Easel (the CNC software) is free for anyone to sign up and tinker with. Hope that helps! X-Carve: www.inventables.com/technologies/x-carve?ref=fisher (FREE!)

@@FishersShop I think Tommy was maybe hinting at a vidio review, however, that was a great endorsement, just by reading that has sold me at least. Oh, and of course your vidio was great, but not quite as good as your sense of humour. Yes, that's a compliment, take it anyway you like 😃👌✔

[@Tommy-vt9tt]

Gordon Chapman I wasn’t hinting at a video review, however, I think it would be great. I’ve been on the fence about getting one, so I am doing research. Looks promising.

[@gordonchapman222]

@@Tommy-vt9tt I looks very promising 👍

[@kdouglaslee]

@@FishersShop Hey, sorry for asking this two months after the video, but what size x-carve are you using? I've been resistant to the idea of a CNC, but I've decided it's just another woodworking tool, a fairly expensive one but hey, you can't take it with you.

[@Ch3tSt3adman]

I always appreciate the outtakes. As a beginning woodworker, it's nice to see someone much more skilled than I am still make silly measuring mistakes. Helps me not beat myself up over it.

[@mishellekochel4510]

Thank you for sharing, especially your outtakes!!!!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks for watching!

[@skater4god1]

I really liked the bit at the end about the way the wood appeared to change color with the different angles. Really cool!

[@jennieanddavis]

I was just about to walk outside and plane an end grain cutting board to see if that worked. This video saved me many hours of rebuilding. Thank you. 😘 Davis

[@FishersShop]

Haha, yeah putting end-grain through the planer isn't a great idea. Using the CNC is perfect for it though. And on larger pieces, you'd probably have to use a router sled. Thanks for watching!

[@jimsjacob]

That was one of the better cutting board videos I’ve seen to date! I need to make one for my RV and I continue to avoid doing it. A video like this makes it less intimidating. While I don’t have a CNC, planner or jointer, I think I can manage something that meets our needs. Always hilarious and always informative. Thank you!!

[@nelsoncaraballo9446]

The plate idea had me scratching my head 😜 for a moment? Then I saw how it was to be used! Great idea 👍. Great video. Thank you for sharing.

[@surviverskywalker6515]

I have to admit I was confused about what you meant about the plate to start of with, but I think that what you came up with is a brilliant idea and I wish I had a cutting board with similar recess. I have actually resorted to placing one cutting board on top of another so that a plate can wedge underneath it.

[@AndreaArzensek]

You got me on the man glitter! Great looking board!

Like how you prevented tear out on the corners with the router. I learned something. Great job.

[@OzSawdustMakers]

I came here to say the same thing!

[@cyclemadness]

Yep. Thank you.

[@James_T_Kirk_1701]

Same with small planes when breaking edges. Go towards the middle on the edge and inch or so then come back down the length of the edge the other way towards the inch or so you already beveled. This will prevent the edges from chipping out.

[@Tomasu82]

Man glitter. I love it!

[@MrFunguspower]

I approve of the puns at the end. For obvious reasons.

[@FranciscoTChavez]

It's been quite a few years since I took woodshop, but they way you did that chamfer got my attention. In woodshop, they taught us to place a piece of junk wood at the end of our piece, so that the junk wood would stop it from splitting at the end. On the other hand, in your video, you just did a bit of a chamfer there first, and then you did a chamfer down the entire edge. I'm really curious as to what works better?

[@FishersShop]

If you go backwards for a touch at the end, there’s no chance of tearout once you go forward from the other direction.

[@FranciscoTChavez]

@@FishersShop sweet, thanks.
