I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle kzread.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.

I'm 56 and I'm still using the desk my father made for me when I was 14. I'm sitting at it right now. I would say it's my favorite thing I own.

Training helps a great deal. I came at CNC programming from the opposite route, going through a trade school program. As such, the focus was on taking the completed designs, and how to program your tool paths. So to me, that end of it is actually the easy stuff, whereas the design end is where I struggle.

I was hired at 17 by a sign manufacturing company and then assigned as the CNC/Plotter operator because I was very skilled in computer programming and I quickly figured the software. No one else in the company (~40 people) knew how to operate it except the owner.

Welder here. The people that think CNC is difficult can't really produce anything. Anyone can put in the time to learn CNC. I was thrown on Water jets, laser, plasma, CNC mills and CNC lathes. Programming was simple. My knowledge of metallurgy in welding made it easy. Engineers are supposedly people that build things based upon scientific principles. I call BS on that. Most engineers I've worked with from aerospace to automotive don't build anything. They push buttons and get paid to make things more complex than they have to be.

People don't realize how much work goes into setting up the path for the CNC. Also they are just jealous of your awesome machine!

25 years ago I was using a CNC from Gerber Scientific in the signage industry. You imported your design into the CNC software, told it what size tool you were using and how deep you wanted to go and it calculated everything. It even did auto-nesting of all your different pieces to be cut out. This was on Windows 3.1 - how has using a CNC gone backwards where it's so much work to set up the path??

I mean, is not rly that hard... deppends alot on what software you use and stuff like that...

I'm a retired cabinetmaker and there is little or nothing that is made without pushing buttons, machines are the an investment needed for any joinery company if they want profit and remain in business. At one time the biggest outlay was the cost of labour, now it's materials so errors must be minimised and materials not wasted. You have skills, that can't be disputed, the balance needed includes vision of design, anyone can copy a bench or make pallet wood garden seats, the skills required when starting from an idea and ending up with a beautiful piece of furniture are far more than most people can imagine and not everyone has the skills for this kind of work.

Personally, i think i would have filled up the tesselation pattern with a gold color, and seeing the final result it would have gone great with the handles on the drawers.

comparatively, CNC is easy though. Think about the alternative; having to do that design completely by hand. The CNC is faster, easier, more precise, and less stressful. I’m not saying that makes him any less talented, I’m just saying that people’s perception of it being easy isn’t entirely wrong. Just a little wrong.

I find that most people who criticize another are wannabes who have poor self- esteem and can't stand the fact that you do the amazing things you do, and are humble about it in the process. I love the fact that you are secure enough in who you are, and the abilities you possess ...and the honesty to show your processes, warts, mistakes, and all, showing us how you creatively "fix" the situation! Yes indeed! People with no sense of self can't do that, and hate those who do. True is, jealousy can be really ugly. I wasn't even interested in making furniture, but watched just one of your videos and was both amazed at your ability and processes you go through, that I'm hooked. You are an incredible artist, specializing in woodworking, who is intelligent enough to use today's technology to make your ideas come alive! (I have been a multi medium artist for years, and am in awe of your work.) Seriously, there is no reason to mention those few who try to cut you down, and criticize your work! LOL! Ignore them, and let them fester! ONWARD to your next creation!

That is a very cool gift for your daughter, the fact dad made it will be all the more cherished. Outstanding talents and step by step directions. Thank you

That was easy...for you! I like the idea with the "spray booth" tent, fixes the over spray problem while keeping shop dust off of what you just sprayed. My dad was a carpenter, he did a lot of inlay pattern work, but made it look so easy that I feel people underappreciated the work. He was just happy to do it for people though!

12:02 is exactly the face I did when it is finished…. This is a beauty of a workspace! Really nice work with the patterns, color and different wood! Like this really!👍🏻

I don’t know who’s telling you that you’re not a woodworker or you’re not talented. You’re crazy talented. You’re an artist. Beauty and art come in all forms. If you don’t do what “he” does and he doesn’t do what you do, who cares the eye is in the beholder. There’s no right or wrong. You’re not claiming to be someone else. Your you. Your art is you. And thousands love and appreciate your talent.

You have a very lucky daughter. I would cherish that for my entire life. It's priceless.

Well, that was easy. But in all honesty, the fact that he can just start with a bunch of wood and make THAT is just amazing.

Nice work on the desk. Black walnut and maple is by far my favorite two wood combo for things. I really like the look of the patten highlighted with white epoxy. Gets something interesting on the top, while still letting the natural beauty of the wood grain shine.

Your Love flows freely! Thank You for this expression! How does it feel knowing that your daughter has the best Dad she could ever hope to have? One Love, Brother!

One of the most enjoyable builds I've seen. Love the special touch since it was for a family member. Adding Chloe was a magnificent touch! Wish I had this idea when my children went to college! Awesome job!

18:24 "That Whas Easy" and very nice Desk 🙂 would love to see this as a bigger table (conference table) or an dinner table with engraved dish / cutlery 🙂

My neighbor though that it was relatively simple for me to run the cnc plasma table I built. I had explained some of what goes into the designs and cad/cam work. It wasn't until he saw all the details in person (while I was cutting a part and changing cut parameters) that he realized how complex it can be. I used and grew my skill to build and learn the cnc plasma table and continue to improve my skill with cutting different materials and thicknesses while trying to get better efficiency and quality. CNC capabilities improved my skill level as a fabricator and welder. A CNC machine isn't all that different from a power saw vs. hand saw or router vs. planes, rasps, and sandpaper. It is a more efficient tool that still requires skill to use and master. Some people cheat with a straight edge to rip plywood for sheeting a building, but I can usually freehand +/- 1/16" with my milwaukee cordless circular saw. Most elementary school kids probably draw better than I do and I suck at free handing a plasma torch or router. CNC allows me to use my other skills of learning, building, computer work, and attention to detail to make the machine do what my hands and brain can't. Working smarter and using technology beats working harder or not being able to build to my potential if I didn't use CNC. It also makes it faster which matters when you make part or all of your living working with your hands.

WOW, just WOW. Beautiful. Lots of work but her reaction was priceless. That’s an heirloom she’ll keep for ages.

Gorgeous job Jonny! Most definitely an heirloom piece. A fantastic combination of design, craftsmanship and technology. Beautifully done. Thanks for the tip on the stucco tape. And of course, with a CNC, that was easy!

Honestly I never considered you were old enough to have offspring old enough to go to college but then I realized I'm older LOL! Beautiful family. I love the Hello Fresh ad with your family... Pup included!

most of the people that say he has no skill simply have no idea what they're talking about. firstly, apart from the cnc machine, assembling products to a great quality is a skill in itself. and is something you learn over time, ive been a cabinet maker for nearly 7 years, i have a lot to learn and improve on, but im good at what i do, through my experiences, assembling and finishing products needs a lot of practice. you can make something that has bespoke and flawless pieces look off or even ugly if not fitted right, so the fact that he can do it to a good level says something, this is an observation i have picked up from watching him build, stuff he probably doesnt even know he's doing as they have become muscle memory or second nature secondly, i recently had a chance to use a fiend's cnc router, and the fact that he said "hah go on, make something" to me after i thought it didnt look difficult, and that i just sat there looking at the screen not knowing what to do, kinda tells you there is a skill level to this. if you have to look a someone for guidance that tells you that theres something to learn.

This is seriously quality work. Great build that shows the awesome combination of handmade woodwork with the CNC. Awesome job and can’t wait to see what’s next

Love the humor and the piece. Us fathers will do anything for our lovely daughters :) Let the haters talk and do your thing!

When I make a project my signature is wood burning of some kind. I wish I had a CNC but my shop is my front porch and the living room of my one bedroom apt. I am also in a wheelchair. My goal is to one day have a small shop where I don't have to always roll out the tools to use them. Thank you for this video. I loved it.

as a woodworker whom has dabbled in the cnc world, it definitely takes a different type of skill/talent to make builds. infinitely scalable creativity since you aren't limited by the tools. With that said, it would show even more skill from a strictly woodworking perspective if you could do all of that by hand. I definitely don't hold that against you and the project looks awesome!
