Wood Inlay of a Kitchen Door
This shows how to take an ordinary kitchen door and turn it into a work of art by inlaying the door with a pattern. I chose a Geisha image and used LightBurn to translate the image to a vector, to use with my laser. The video tries to show all processes from start to finish.. no pun intended

A Very Sophisticated ESP8266 Intervalometer
มุมมอง 338 หลายเดือนก่อน
I programmed an ESP8266 Arduino clone to be used as an Intervalometer for a DSLR camera. This allows me to do very unique functions, such as stop action video. And because it is remote, I can trigger it from a Smart phone, tablet or wireless equipped pc. I can take 1 or 1000 photos .. It is a very handy tool. I also added sensors that can be used to trigger the sequence.

3d Printing Plastic Inlays for Wood Artistic Boxes
มุมมอง 224ปีที่แล้ว
I do a lot of Artistic Boxes, and wanted to do something different to make them stand out more. So I decided to try to 3d Print my inlays, which I normally do out of 1/32" wood veneer. I can't sand after I inlay, but the effect should look good, and it does. So this video describes the entire process I used.

Making a puzzle from a photo with a laser

Making a puzzle from a photo with a laser
Looks like some bleeding.
Yes, possibly. That can be stopped by using a light coat of Sanding sealer, or by a spray coat of lacquer
Do you use any offset on the veneer pieces to compensate for the width of the laser cut?
I generally do not. It seems to work well for me that I cut ON the line, which by itself seems to give me what I need. Most of my pieces just drop right in. However, that may not be the case for every laser out there. Mine is a 100 watt CO2 laser.
@@paulszudzik9588 Thank you. I have admired the craftmanship of your boxes many times. Whilst I obviously dont have your experience I tend to find that there is a small gap in some areas. As you say different lasers may produce different results, maybe I nned to fine tune the laser. Thank you.
HI Paul. I love this idea! Another way to get your designs into Bambu Studio is to export them as an SVG if that is an option. Bambu can import these 2D files directly and automatically extrudes them to 3D. Then just scale the Z dimension to the desired thickness.
Yes, I do that also....
Hi Paul - Great video. What is the thinnest veneer you can 3d print? I am trying to replace a pick guard on a mandolin that is 1/32" thick.
1/32" is about 0.8mm which is no problem for a 3D printer. Standard layer height for 3D printers is 0.2mm so this would be just 4 standard layers.
Those are some very beautiful boxes! What do you use for finishing the insides? I am yet to find a finish that works well for me when making boxes. Tried Poly, Arm-r-seal, Danish oil, even Osmo. Regardless of the product, with the box closed, the inside accumulates a lingering smell even 2 months later.
@@ivobe9985 Most of the time I use clear lacquer, however for that box, I used Beeswax and orange oil. For all my boxes, I leave them in the shade outside for at least three days, open, to allow the finish to release their vapors. Sometimes, most of the time, that works for me.
@@paulszudzik9588 That's clever! Thanks for the tip
That is outstanding! Both jobs came out fantastic. I'm just getting into this type of work and it's really amazing what can be done with the laser. I di have one question if I may,,,,,How did you get the white border around the letters in the word LOVE? That really makes the letters pop but I didn't see how you did that. Thanks for taking the time to make this video and for all your help. Tom
That is just an illusion. It is the the top wood. So imagine it is a border. just a little inset from the black. They aren't white, just wood.
Shouldn't you hit the uncured epoxy with a heat gun or flame to release the air bubbles?
It's resin not rosin and myca not meca. Just saying...
Resin is correct, and it is Mica, not Myca ... but thansk
This is amazing!! Great little puzzle!! Are the files available for purchase?
Sorry....I thought about Open Sourcing the code...but nobody wants to help beta, so I shelved the project.
The problem is that all the puzzle pieces are the same geometry and you could actually put this puzzle together "wrong" in millions of ways. What if it was a picture with a lot areas of one solid color? What if there was a lot of black, or a blue sky? Is there a puzzle generation program that will randomize the shape of the pieces?
Well, not quite true. They are not the same. Subtle differences will annoy the person that puts this together. In the program I use, you can set them for All the same, None, or Random...
what laser are u using for engraving?
I have a Chinese XM1060 100 watt laser with a Reci tube in it. However, for all the work I do with engraving and inlays, you don't need more than a 20 watt laser. 100 watts buys you more speed.
Hi, Just got my machine and love it. So far I only use the PEI plate. Did you get one of those yet? Thnaks
Yes.. have both plates
@@paulszudzik9588 Do you know of a way to print the models on the LCD controller using the PEI plate?
Can this be done on acrylic?
Yes, sure... I cut acrylic all the time, so yup. The glue I use sticks to acrylic just fine.
Hi Paul, Nice video, love all the details you give. One thing that would be nice are the links to the models you discuss. Thank you
Noted!
Resin, rosin, who cares? A lot of videos don’t even have any dialogue. Maybe that’s why;so the grammar police won’t complain. The only thing I thought was he wasted a lot of resin. Seems like it could have been done using half the amount. Otherwise I’d say it turned out pretty good!
I was more put off by, "meka" powder. 🤣
all the pieces are exactly the same shape???
No, they are not... the code allows for different shapes ( random )
Dood! That looks great!
Those straps are easy, I learned that from a paper route when I was a kid. On the opposite side of where they're joined together, there's a tab you can pull on to release them. No knife required.
I got some cheap ones...thanks for the input!
Great job!
*PromoSM* ☺️
Very nice Paul! I'd love to see your Starship print in person at some point. You said 6 hour days. Are you able to tell this printer to only print for periods of time? That would be nice!
resin... not rosin
Resin is correct...
since when is RESIN pronounced ROSIN ffs, your not soddering now are you?
Nice video. Would like to have heard it without the vac for a moment n
I had to sand the end teeth of the half gear that moves the filament feed because it was getting stuck. Still a very cool way to transfer from cardboard spools. Thanks for the demo!
I just bought a Bambuu P1S with the AMS and I have a lot of Overture filament (Cardboard reels) which I know won't work in the AMS so was looking for a rewinding solution. thanks for the video!
You can install a one way bearing as well.
Good point! Though that would require a reprint of the base.. but yes, that would neatly solve the issue of the jumping gear
Started to use Purple Tape, which doesn't pull out the veneers.. problem solved
For the line on your parts you can change the z seam. You should be able to randomize it or there’s some other settings I believe
I just ordered on have you tried messing with the slicer settings to fix stringing? Have you tried printing it again with different settings?
Yes, to some extent... I use the machine, it produces... I wouldn't buy it again, but it isn't bad... I have produced a lot of prints with it to date.
Uau!
What laser are you using and how long did it take to engrave?
100 watt, but I rarely go above 40%. And no, I do not remember how long it took, this video was 2 years ago. None take longer than a few minutes.
@@paulszudzik9588 I have a little 5w so its takes awhile to engrave deep.
Same method will work on marble?
Don't see why not. Marble is a bit more porous, so thin solutions might seep into the marble more, but yes, it should work. Depending on how deep the engraving, you might apply a thin coating first to seal the marble, before pouring the final resin.
Can you buy your program for puzzles?
I generally offer my programs for free, but the setup is not easy, so I abandoned that route. There are puzzle solutions out there. My issue is that I can no longer correctly package my program, written in Java, for installation. So, after a Beta a few years ago, I just use it for myself. Thanks for the inquiry.
Hope I'm not too late on this. Just got my Rockler box jig and trying it out on some sacrifice wood of the same size as my project. BUT...I am getting a lot of cut out on the wood joints. I think I have done all I was instructed to do one the instructions but the cut outs are sort of freaking me. What can I do?
If you read some of my other comments, I am not using that jig anymore, it has a few issues ( The old jig ). However, tear out is a common problem. What I tend to recommend is that when you use a backer board, always start a new slot, don't re-use a slot from a previous run. Second, don't force the board through the bit, that will surely result in a tear out. Third, I recommend that the backer board be at least as hard as the wood you are cutting,. Fourth, make sure your bit is sharp and new. A dull bit will tear out as well.
@@paulszudzik9588 Hey Thanks! The IS exactly the kind of advice I needed. I have a brand new up-cut bit and have managed to ruin the sacrificial board that came with the jig so now I'll make a new one and this time I won't force the board through the bit AND I will have a backer board identical to my box cuts.
Hey so you used a laser engraver to cut the inlay? How deep do you need to engrave to apply epoxy? Thanks
Need to be deep enough not to crack, so I go at least 1/8" on my inlays. As I said on a previous question, if you do transparent colors, 1/4" would be my minimum.
hi paul, wont your cnc cut 3 D inlays? 3D printers are certainly useful for around the shop, im considering one to print custom dust collector adaptors among ather things, cheers
Yes, 8t would. But, the 3d printer gives me another level of flexibility.
cant hear at 11 :19
I stopped watching this video based on how you say the word resin
I stopped when he said, "meka" powder. 🤣
Welcome to my glue club Lol have a blessed day.
Very good video great info I also like the jig it's totally awesome may God Almighty continue to bless you and your family your work is second to none. Bottom line
Spiral bit will cut that like butter.thanks for your video and work may God bless U.Bottom line
Does it work well on concrete or soil without grass?
Works much better on concrete or bare dirt then grass....yup, works well!
@@paulszudzik9588 thx
To adjust belt tracking left & right . Belt goes toward adjuster screw when loosening. Goes away from adjuster screw when tightened. Not recommend however I fine tune tracking with sander running. Always wear protective eyewear.😜
Just a tip I watched several of these trying to better my skill n box joints’ 1 guy used an upcut 1/4 spiral bit instead of the 1/4” straight bit And the upcut bit pulls all the saw dust away noticed in this video he had to keep blowing out the tracks to slide jig’ Use an up cut spiral bit = problem solved :-)
Viewers might be interested in another TH-cam channel using a similar technique name of fishtank5050
Great But how do you get the leaves from in there and put them away in bags or whatever and take them away?
Bag unhooks and I put it into the compost heap. Easy for me.
What's the minimum cutting depth with the laser to get a stable epoxy layer?
I go down at LEAST 1/8 inches...deeper is better with transparent color.
Confusing and useless to narrate over the noise of the machines.
Thank you for your comments... I no longer advocate or use this jig to build my boxes.
Not bad I think Imma get one this fall
