*FAQ time!* Okay, so the response on this video has been overwhelmingly positive! :) Thanks guys, you lot really are a great audience. Some channels have a hard time with not-so-positive comments, and that's not the case here, so I really couldn't have asked for better! You guys rock :) Anyway, I'm writing this post to address some questions that seem to be popping up every now and then. Firstly, some have said that this is totally doable by hand, and my claim of it being *'almost impossible'* to do by hand isn't true... and *you're right!* What I should have said was that it would be "almost impossible for *me* to make by hand". Cutting and sanding acrylic is a nightmare, so it needs to be cut almost perfectly or else the sanding stage would take forever, and that's something that I'm not skilled enough to do with hand tools (a jigsaw would melt the acrylic I used so that was out of the question). I salute those of you who can make this by hand! Seriously! The second question that keeps popping up is about why I called it a "DIY" project when it uses a CNC. This I kind of get, because it does stretch most people's idea of what DIY means, but to me, anything I do by myself on my own with no external help is DIY. Let's say I made it with a jigsaw and a belt sander... not everyone owns either of those (fairly expensive) tools. Does that disqualify it from being a DIY project? Of course not. If it did we'd be limited to just using the term for projects that require only a hammer and nails. Lastly, some people think that this video is pointless because it not everyone owns a CNC. I disagree. This project (which I'm quite proud of, btw ;) was very refreshing to make because I could try out something quite professional for once (my others certainly aren't pro). I was aware that very few of you have, or ever plan to have, a CNC, so with that in mind I made this one a *build-log* and not a *how-to* (which is my usual format). I thought you guys would just be interested in the processes involved in a more complex project like this, that's all. :) Anyhoo I hope that answers all remaining questions. Hope you enjoyed the project! I certainly did :) Cheers and God bless! Matt ~ DIY Perks

Hi Matt! It's David Butler. Thanks for this great video and the info on my new "drool tool." As I'm sure Inventables was hoping, I did some research on the tool and it is roughly $800 U.S. I never even CONSIDERED a CNC machine because I thought they were thousands of dollars. A large air compressor is roughly $1000. Welders are roughly $1000. Most DIY people wouldn't think of living without certain items that can easily cost $1000. My sister is really a crafty person and we've talked about splitting the cost on a plasma cutter. Believe me, this CNC machine is going on the Christmas list !! I couldn't think of a better project to display its potential than this gorgeous headphone stand, with mixed-media for cutting. Thanks for the hint regarding the trouble with extruded plexiglass! The biggest mystery to me is how you sanded the INSIDE cutout. I'm sure THAT was a lot of work. Thanks again, Sir!

@DIYPerks

Thanks David! The inside of the stand wasn't sanded too much, as thankfully the minor size variations are far less noticeable in there than on the outside. I really can't recommend a CNC like this enough - my sister is also into crafts, and she's brimming with ideas for clock designs etc that she can make with it. It may turn out that she uses it more than I do!

+DIY Perks I already commented on the "impossible" aspect and I have no problem with your revised statement on that. :) As for the DIY aspect, it's a spectrum rather than black and white. Hand tool purists would say using any power tools is cheating. From there you go into some power tools, all power tools, some use of computerized tools like CNCs, laser cutters and 3D printers but still taking part in the design process, to printing someone else's design where you're only pressing the start button, and at the far end of the spectrum, you're just buying something someone else made. You obviously put a lot of thought and work into the design here, so I'd still say it's well within the realm of DIY. But it's all opinion. Haters gonna hate.

I see where you're coming from, but I think it maybe just a bit unfair. DIY Perks got the experience of designing something on the computer and getting the X Carve to make it for him. This is like when you first learn to play the guitar you learn dumb songs like Polly Wolly Doodle, like when you learn to program a computer you do the 'Hello World!' program. Perks will undoubtedly move on to projects that would be nearly impossible to do any other way but CNC. (In fact he already did a PCB!) You gotta crawl before you can walk. This project served excellently to introduce DIY Perks to CNC technology, plus the end product is at least something pretty and useful! (But yeah, it does seem cosmically unfair that he got a free X Carve and I didn't. 8^P )

+LazerLord10 Yes and for a fraction the cost and time. This video is a vehicle for pushing product. All too common with the DIY scene on KZread these days. When using a scroll saw assuming your saws neck size can accommodate it you could pre-finish and glue the layers and cut them all out in one shot saving tons of time. I have no doubt that the X-Carve turned this process into a multi-day effort. The results were very good, but unnecessary.

Nice project I Like the combination of acrylic and leds!

this is a piece of art not just headphone stand

Really happy. What a lovely opportunity for a youtuber to do things that otherwise they couldn't do without space and a workshop (or the extra money)! CNC routers are great in that manner I guess giving folks (well those that can afford it) that don't have the wood working skills, the ability to create things 3d or 2d with ease in which they had no hope of doing so before. It's great that DIY Perks has gotten this chance to try out and use such expensive equipment courtesy of Inventables. So many people with imagination and unused talent want a chance to do things and I'm glad DIY Perks got the chance. To show an amazing example of what a CNC can do for a KZreadr, one that got that chance to do some woodwork without being a woodworker (man great respect for all those craftsmen/women out there with the skills to work wood). Thank for sharing your project, DIY Perks. I think it's a fine headphone stand. Keep on going!

This was the best review of the X-carve I have ever seen! I have been on the edge of buying one for quite some time now.... I think I've got enough project ideas to justify it now!

Also you can make this with basic router using flush cut bit and template. Template you can design on computer, so its symmetrical, print it to paper, glue paper on peace of ply or MDF, cut it out, clamp it to your work peace flush cut and repeat. With acrylic just use slower feed speed and let it melt if needed to, so it wont crack, or you could go to some company with laser cutter to do acrylic parts for you. You need to sand them anyways so its not like accuracy will be a big problem anyways, just saves time. Also you can design your holder so it has place on bottom for the controller and there is slots for the leds in wood.

Jesus Christ, why do most of the DIY KZreadr have this god damn CNC machine now. I'm starting to get pissed off that everyone is using it too much for their projects, shutting out their viewers who have limited tools. 99% of your viewers won't have this machine. Sure you can use it, who am I to stop you, but I'm just gonna say this: don't rely on it. People subscribed for DIY perks, not automation of production. P.S: How is it almost impossible? If you want something bad enough, you'll find a way to do it; in this case, it's as easy as sandwich the materials, then using a drill to allow the blade of a coping saw through to cut the design out. Then use a round file or rasp to get the final shape.

@DIYPerks

8 жыл бұрын

I've had quite a few comments saying that most people can't do this one, and that's true - it's a CNC project. Using the CNC to make a project that could have been done without it would have been a bit pointless. That's also why this one is a build-log, not a how-to. I knew that not many of my viewers would be able to built it, so I made an overview video of the processes involved, rather than a detailed step-by-step guide that I usually do. I really was thinking about you guys! :) As for your last note... yes, if you want it badly enough you could probably do it by hand. But I didn't say *almost* impossible for nothing... cutting acrylic is an absolute nightmare with power tools (it melts) so you have to use something like a coping saw, which takes AGES, and is highly inaccurate so you have to make your cut too big so you can sand it down later... which also takes ages and ages (seriously) because it's incredibly difficult to sand down. There's no way you could get the same smooth symmetrical finish by hand. So yes, not quite impossible, but *almost* impossible. :)

So what is so difficult about making this by hand? A hand held router and template would get pretty much the same accuracy. I see absolutely no issue in making this without a Cnc machine if you have even a little bit of ability. And a good 100-200$ Hand held router is much more accessible to non professionals than a 1000+$ Cnc mill.

NightHawkInLight Fans say hi :)

Mate I always enjoy your videos and look forward to your next project every time, but I feel a have to bring up proper disclosure with you. I really feel that you need to be more upfront about having been given this for free as a review copy. The closest you get verbally is implying it at 5:13. Saying that "X-carve sent this to me" is still to ambiguous in my opinion as even a fraction of wriggleroom is to much. You even hint at having paid for shipping at 5:29, which to the best of my knowledge was not the case with all the other youtubers who was given an X-carve for review. Putting a little note below the fold in the description and only implying that this was a free perk is really not enough in my opinion. And in more and more places it isn't even enough to satisfy the law either. I hope you meant nothing by it and just haven't given it much thought. But for future reference, this needs to be done properly so as to not mislead your audience.

Still a bit new to this stuff so thanks for the pointers. I did make it transparent though. At 5:10 I clearly say "...so I'm very greatful to Inventables for sending me an X-Carve to make it with". That's not implied, that's a statement. As for 5:29 that was a slight slip up with the script. I originally had it in a different tense, so was originally "so does cut down on shipping costs". Even so, it's true - the shipping costs are significantly lower due to it being in parts, as opposed to a complete unit. I don't think anyone's questioning whether I was sent one or not - everyone in the comments so far has known that I was sent it, so it seems that I did indeed make it clear enough.

How come British people pronounce "CNC router" correctly, but when it comes to a wireless router, they pronounce it "rooter"?

***** But according to that definition, you only pronounce it "rooter" if physical objects (shipments) are being routed. If it's a network device, it's pronounced "rowter". :-)

Milsim Tac no because the English language originated in ENGLAND so OUR pronunciation is correct. Your pronunciation is just an adapted accent which was brought over by English founding fathers

Jamie Galbraith Even if you are correct, there is no need in calling him a dipshit. We are well aware that you have just learned your first swear words.

Oh yea, great DIY project, except I don't think many people have fucking computerized carves.

He just says that it would have been almost impossible without the x-carve because he has to say that.

he added that in tho also

OK... you're a genius. You just solved a problem I've been thinking about for months, thank you.

Looks great!! Thanks for the X-carve info, I'm looking for a diy CNC for some time and this one is the one that fits my needs!

uhm, you say that your LED's will stay nice and cool because of the aluminum.... LED's don't generate any heat, and they never will

Depends how much current they use. They certainly still generate heat as they're not 100% efficient.

Proper LED's should not generatie any heat, but I guess some cheaper ones do

+W0UTER31 it will lose heat because of a basic law of science which states that when converting energy from one form to another heat energy will be lost in the process. This is why it is impossible for electronics to be 100% efficient.

I built my own headphone stand. As nice as it is, it doesn't hold a candle to yours. You did a great job my friend :)

You are genius n very creative. You should build them in mass 👌

Awesome design mate! I loved it!

The stand looks better than the headphones now. I'd even just use it decoratively. I love this thing. It has beauty and functionality combined. Looking at the quality of it, you could sell it for lots of money as a real designer product. Subscribed.

This looks very elegant!

idk how you dont have more than a million subs Matt, your channel clearly deserve them, this is quality content at his finest! 10/10

Omg, this is gorgeous! Well done!

Hey great job mate! Glad to see a truly pro-level DIY-er!

the audio is flawless! well done

Think you have made my thought of purchasing the X-Carve a more substantiated one. Thanks!

Wow! That is all I can trully say about your headphone rack, is just WOW!!! You did an awesome job a the design and the finish of the wood and the lighting of the stand. I'll have to make something like this but not a headphone stand but something decorative with led lighting...

Beautiful architecture! Thank you for this awesome video!

This looks amazing. Great job man.

Came out beautiful!

This headphone stand is absolutely gorgeous! Really inspiring video

I have to admit that headphone stand looks amazing. Good job

For anyone without a CNC router, the easiest way to make this project would be to draw a design, create router templates from MDF with a jigsaw, and machine the sections using a manual router. Use polycarbonate (Lexan) instead of acrylic (Perspex/Plexiglass) because it's a lot easier to machine. Sharp cutters are essential if you want to avoid melting the plastic. All quite do-able.

I've just found your channel today and can happily say I've enjoyed every video. I love this light... I'm thinking it would make a nice Valentine's day present with a heart shape in the middle and the red LED's.

At first I was "how neat" and then... I don't know, but somehow, by the end of this video that soothing British accent had me subscribed...

A work of art! Well done!

Great project! For people put off by the CNC router, check with your local university's tech department. Many allow you to rent time with theirs. They're staffed with teacher's aids typically that can get you setup quick. I've used it in little projects before and was charged $10/hour. As others have said, this project can be accomplished with hand tools as well.

great job, especially with thee installment of the LEDs. I thought you were going to drill into the acrylic but your method is so much easier

Awesome project! Love the finished product! :)

Beautiful build :) Always wanted a CNC machine, and now I want one even more :p

I saw your silent PC case build log the other day and was very impressed. I saw a link to this from Picciuto's "Makers & Shakers" video this week and thought it looked fantastic. I think that for what this video's purpose was, it was very well done. Keep up the the good work!

WAW ...good sound , video(production), and design!

Loved the project and the video!!
