What did you cut today?

I saw this lamp on the internet once. So i sketched one and made one using the maslow. Here are the results!

yes.
5, Apply urethane paint to finish.

Just some old 3/8 " plywood I had laying around. It looked pretty rough so l finished it in a walnut stain for a kind of barn siding look. I even decided to go easy on the sanding to keep the roughness of it. Final touch will be to laser burn some wine logos into cork sheet to wrap around the dowels to look like big wine corks.

I cut the front panel for some acoustic panels after I made the Maslow work again.
They will come in front of absorbing foam to hang them in the reflection points from the sound system

Came out pretty neat with the birch

Trial piece for some plaques I am making.

My niece’s teacher turned 60 a few weeks ago, so we made him a plaque for his door. A €2 olive wood cutting board, some tung oil, some hot glue and some chicken feed :slight_smile:

Honestly, i’m at the point where i’m not that interested in the maslow any more for it’s own sake. I used to look for projects to make with a cnc.
Now i use it as i would use any of my other tools. When a project calls for it, i can use it. I know how it works, and i can quickly pick it up and use it in my workflow like anything else. It’s a good place to be, and honestly i’m enjoying it more now :slight_smile:
Next tool i’m buying is a lathe :slight_smile:

Hello fellow malsownians. New to this forum but here is my first cut.

I have been working on these puzzle boxes.

One uses the “nail box” principle and the other, a bit more complex uses the “combination lock” principle, with three disks.

Everything cut on the Maslow.

Did you make the plans for this? This is really cool!

I did make the plans for both, inspired on some examples I’ve seen on youtube like this one:

Working on Yard Art for the upcoming Easter Holiday. Not surprisingly, its more Peanuts themed items. Fresh off the cutting board, so they are not yet painted. For reference, Snoopy is roughly 30in x 40in, the Easter eggs are roughly 9in x 12in, and Woodstock is roughly 18in tall.

Also attached are SVG files that will import into Easel (my personal favorite), Inkscape or many other programs to get gcode to make your own! For those new to yard art, we chose to do pocketing as we think it makes the painting faster/easier. The tradeoff is the amount of time it takes to create the pockets.@Sharpsburg_Woodworke has several posts in this and other threads that show a slightly different method to make magnificent works of yard art using a marker mounted in a Maslow to mark the different colored areas.

rebuilding a gun safe door (for appeal, there will be no guns stored in a wooden lock safe) for our annual earth day reused pallet wood competition at work. Door will be fully operational with pinion driven locks using Geargenerator.com to generate the gears and rpm for drive length.

Here is a new rocking chair. It uses the same ideas as the P9L chair that I’m sure a lot of you have come across. I added padding and upholstery to the panels to make a lot more comfortable. This chair really sits well.

That is totally stunning! You’ve taken that concept to a whole new level of something that I would love to have in my house. How did you do the upholstery? Do you have a background in that kind of thing?

Thanks I really spent a lot of time on it. I don’t really have a background in upholstery. I grew up around it but not doing it. Each panel has foam glued to it. Then fabric is wrapped around, with the corners folded, and stapled to the back. I also made panels for the back and cut out the pocket. So essentially I wrapped fabric around each panel individually and then glued the upholstered panel on to the corresponding tabs of the frame.

That is super neat. The effect is very nice…I’ll have to give something like this a try myself.

Cut this today. I could have done a few thing different, but didn’t turn out too bad.
