I came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed that cause it was so subtle! I'm glad others saw it too... (pun intended)

For anyone with a tough old Italian grandmother this thing would be a nightmare... Sends chills down my spine. I can envision it hanging on the wall in her kitchen with the label "Attitude Adjuster" above it.

We have a thick wooden spoon dubbed "The Spoon of Destruction" that made the kids behave just by seeing it.

Great film working showing the footage of that tree falling you took down as you cut a piece of wood from that tree. Always a treat watching your videos Frank. Thanks

After all the time modeling, attempting, remodeling, attempting, and attempting once more... "What do I even do with this?" You had me laughing out loud when I heard that!

Another useless project :/

I'd love to see a brief scene of you antagonizing your family with all your projects moving forward.

This reminds of a book called The Meteorite Spoon - it was one of my favourites when I was younger. Really amazing story!

It might be good for making tomato sauce. The spikes would have a good crushing action.

failed attempts, broken endmills, sounds like an afternoon in my workshop! love the work as always

Realy sharp edit! when I saw the tree🌳 fall in the window and everyting else👀 I saw, Good job Frank.💯

the flashback of the tree falling in the background is ...well David Fincher would be proud!

I love your persistence in trying to get it closest to your vision.

I’m thinking a back scratcher is in order. May need to use epoxy to harden the spikes so they can hold a scratchier point. Just a thought. Keep up the great work!

With my limited experience running 4th (and 5th) axis CNC machines, I would suggest you look into a setting in your g-code post-processor called "inverse time". From what you showed, it looked like some of the moves were pretty jerky and "inverse time" would help with that a bit. I've done exactly what you showed in this video where you replace the Y axis with the A axis and I found that I had to turn the "inverse time" setting on. Essentially it interprets the feed speed a little different. Normally, the F value in the g-code says move from pt A to pt B at F speed. With "inverse time' it flips that and says move from pt A to pt B in F amount of time.

8:16 did a tree just fall in the backyard or am I dreaming? It is 1.35am in Australia so I could be dreaming 😴

Throughly enjoy the thought of you chasing the kitty around "let me pet yooou"

Your use of the CNC always amazes me. Love your out of the box thinking

Lol. The best part is the tree falling over outside your shop. Maybe more wood for your awesome projects 😐 stay safe and keep up the good work.

as usual a brilliant artistic mind........thank you for sharing always a pleasure watching

The bit starting at 3:40 may actually be the most profoundly beautiful thing you've ever shot. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but the combination of lighting, the finishing pass and the speed it is sped up to makes for total beauty. Well done Frank. Thank you for capturing those images.

Interesting from a conceptual standpoint. I enjoy your ideas and demonstrations! Thanks

Seeing that tree fall at 8:11 is awesome

perfect spoon for tomato sauce, jams - anything where u need to squeeze the fruits while boiling

Brilliant production and execution. Thank you for your careful dedication to quality photography, audio and woodworking (not to mention the editing and narration).

Might be a good idea to make a half segmented ring for the spikey end? That way the spikes can be all end grain and more resistant against breaking off. Beautiful piece though!

I have decided that you are a wizard. You simply continue to amaze and astound!

As a hobby 3d modeler and 3d printer I find this extremely fascinating. The addition of the 4th axis is quite interesting to see in your gcode simulation as a 3 axis then applied into the real world lathe.

It takes “getting spanked by a wooden spoon” to a whole new level.

a tree is falling in your backyard @ 8:11!!! Like your spoon!

Great video. Love how you cover the process. Mahalo for sharing! : )

4:40 and 10:40 watching those hard edges disappear from that angle, it's best thing you've ever posted bud lol

very cool project Frank. I did a few spoons on the CNC for christmas - not as fancy or spiky as yours but I had good success using the CNC just just 3 axis and a ballnose bit on both sides. Thanks for sharing

Midevil torture device...however, back scratcher sounds good too! Good job sir!

The tight macro shot at 13:56 was so satisfying! Great job as always Frank!

There were some really cool closeup detail shots while you were working frank! Love to see the evolution of your filming!

Oh I wanna see u do the different colors! This is amazing I hope to be able to learn to do this in the future

I’m glad you are getting some use from the Fairchild grinder I sent you. I was a flea market find of mine.

Hey Frank, careful or they will be coming inside to cut down some of your logs….haha. Nice insert of the backdrop. Funny when you said “ now what will I do with it”!!

Although I will never get a 4th axis for my Avid I must say that was a great entrainment on a Sunday morning. Great work.

I really like your design thoughts. Very interesting to follow.

Gotta love the sound of a buckling spring keyboard

Super creative project! 👍🏻

Excellent as usual!!!

Beautiful spoon! You did it again!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍❤️

Oh the detail at about 8:10 in the background… haha I love it

Tree felling in the background at 8min in. Nice touch!

"They say he carved it himself... from a bigger spoon."

Nicely done. The ol Mid-Evil spoon!

Very Cool, Frank!

Looks like a nice mace!

I really like seeing your trial and error with the Avid because it feels a lot like my experience with mine. It's not always obvious how much trial and error and experience is required to get something to turn out how you want it to. I don't have a 4th axis so it was cool to see it in action! I put down foam floor mats around where I load the bits into my machine so I don't shatter carbide on the floor anymore 😅

We are definitely ALL suffering from Post Pandemic Syndrome!!! ;) Great job as always!

Just when you thought Frank couldn't get any cooler, he talks about the G code😎

I showed my wife and she said she thought you had the spikes so it wouldn’t make a mess on the counter when you set it down after stirring something. The spikes have less surface area touching the counter so less to wipe up.

The spikes in alder look a lot like old bone , very cool.

If you add a slight concave to the length of the handle it would make a very good spoon rest!

Great idea & great work again: Chapeau!

Love it!

Concerning the tool path being the Y-axis wrapped into a cylinder, maybe talk to This Old Tony on how to make that "better".

Very cool to see the chuck plate in action. Was being able to transfer from the CNC to manual lathe in mind when you designed it?

no, but it worked.

It looks more like a knuckle club, for swatting those unwanted reaching hands that are trying to get at the food you are preparing lol That being said, this was an extremely interesting video thank you for sharing it

You've made a Troll Spoon! I'm sure there are plenty of trolls out there who would love to own such a prized object.

You should make one from olive wood - your cat would REALLY love that!

How uncanny to catch that tree falling on camera. Now you have more lumber to play with lol

Ive seen sauna ladles kind of similar to that. Now you just have to build a sauna! hahaha

I enjoy your videos, please keep making them :)

Around 8:10 a tree just casually fell down outside the window...pretty cool

Each time i see your wood-consumption for a project, i have to think about that Simpsone Episode where they turn a Bowlingpin out of an entire Treetrunk :D Stay safe, very nice Spoon!

when I was a kid, my mom would hit me with a wooden spoon. I'm glad she didn't have this one!

love youre glue sounds

I laughed at the tree falling in the background. I assume that was the red alder being cut down?

good work

Cat food scoop! Might be a bit large, but I'm sure your cat won't mind the extra food :) Also, depending on the brush, it may be too scratchy, or maybe just brushed too hard, this is more just some soft points like fingers

Looks like a medieval weapon :)

I love watching your videos. When I saw the thumbnail, I was wondering what a spiked spoon would be good for. Cat comb, back scratcher, pasta carrier? Anyway, the usual thought of making is: Form follows function. This is just the opposite: Function follows form.

beautiful

Frank makes kitty back scratcher. Success!

That makes for a great noodle spoon. Nice 😁

Looks like it was a lot of fun doing this, Frank. Probably above my pay grade, though (lol). Take care. Bill

Looks like something Fred Flintstone would use! 😂

Listen to those beautiful mechanical keyboard sounds. So good….

I kept thinking.. what does that remind me of? Then I realised. It's Lisa Simpson's hair!🧡

I carve spoons but they don't look like that. Pretty neat.

"What am I going to do with it"? Well Frank as a child who grew up in the 70s, I can tell you that in the hands of my mother it would have been a formidable child disciplining device!

nice at 8:12 the falling tree in the background - ist all calkulatet

I'd say that that spoon would have been perfect for the tomato canning, with its mashy spikes!

Now I know Frank is crazy when that tree fell down at 8:13

Hey frank. I am not 100% sure but I believe on the vetric software there is a setting to go from 2d cutting to 3D cutting that would help you on your roughing pass get it that much closer to finish. Then your finishing bit won’t have to work as hard removing as much material.

Sometimes my cnc does some offbeat cutting, I think it’s because I start the dust collect after starting the cnc machine cutting. I think the dust collector interrupts the electrical current in the computer and the CNc when it draws electricity while starting. So I start the dust collector first every time and then the cnc and the seems to work.

Make two of them out of hard maple or white oak. Have the concave side flat except for the hollow of the spoon, Cast a lead ball that fits in the spoon and glue them together face to face with the captured lead ball and you got yourself a medieval cudgel. Make the handle a little longer.

To achieve a better finish on things like the spikes, could you use your pressure vessel to impregnate the wood with epoxy? Harder woods will be better than alder but I think you still get breakages with your more complex shapes.

Could you use your 4th axis machine for making micro wind turbine blades? That would be a cool form to see rise in time lapse out of a block of wood!

It kinda reminds me of Maggie from the Simpsons head. you could paint it to resemble her and stick it in your garden to serve as a scarecrow. LOL

Did anyone else see the tree fall down at 8:10?

I took one look at this and thought "oh that would be useful"... Apparently Frank has kids..

it's called art!

Bio back scratcher! Will go viral

Definitely the spoon I want for the zombie apocalypse!

“They say he carved it himself… from a bigger spoon”
