that t-rex model is life-size as it is the size of a juvenile t-rex and it is a work of art and a masterpiece in wood sculpting

If you don’t already, you should consider selling video workshops. Film once and throw in some files and sell it over and over again. I would buy it!

I'm keep being astounded by the amount of foresight and planning that goes into your projects.

Such a beautiful finished piece… a true labour of love (over 1 month of continuous cnc!) and a great explanation of all the steps taken throughout the project. Your posts keep raising the bar of what is possible to achieve. Thank you for sharing.

I like seeing the double sided work and pouring your own blanks with CNC cut molds was brilliant. I’ll be using that truck in the future.

Wow, so much detail. I bet it cost a lot of money for your time and materials. I used to work at a small steel fabrication shop. The owner asked me to make a stegosaurus. It was about 20 feet tall. It took a lot of work. I have also made several smaller dinosaurs; two of them are in a outdoor museum in Florida. You are a great engineer. I have a small CNC plasma cutter. I used to make metal art. Thanks for the video. 😮😮😮😀😀😀😀😀

You are an absolute master of the order of operations! Great work!

I would love to see an American Staffordshire or an American Pit Bull Terrier. They are some of the most photogenic dogs in the world. Their musculature would be hard to depict in wood but if anyone can do it it's you Dennis. And their coloration and patterns are stunning! How about it Dennis? Full body in their many beautiful stances, muscles rippling. Please don't let all the bad hype about these two breeds affect your judgement. Those are stories for another time, which I'll try to educate anyone who wants more info, or a simple Q&A. Just take a look at them and let your eye and heart do the rest...

Amazing work again! Blending the precision of machines with the warmth of wood never ceases to amaze.

Thank you for your kind and encouraging words! I'm sorry, but I only share files of the projects I have made available as DIY projects. Have a look at the sea shell box (kzread.info/dash/bejne/dIyLy8qtcs-fqJM.html) or the butterfly (kzread.info/dash/bejne/c55ovLlpo6fVpKQ.html). Regarding the violin, simply making the CNC files available wouldn't be of any use anyway: there are 50 individual GCode files in total (not exaggerating), and I needed to write a 30-page document with notes to myself for all the specific steps and reminders to not make the same mistakes as with my previous 5 prototypes. It's quite a complex project. I believe a fellow countryman of mine designed a "Dutch violin" for the CNC and made those files publicly available: fvdhorst.nl/how-to-make/

Awesome.

@dennisvanhoof9958

2 жыл бұрын

Good question! You can make it pretty small, as long as you use a fine-tipped ball nose bit. But at some point, you'll run into the limitations of the wood grain and fiber density; the strength and stability is compromised if the structures get too thin and fragile. Still, I think that, for a T-rex, bigger is better. ;)
