I just got a small CNC and have been watching a ton of videos like this. I have to complement you on your techniques and the production quality of this video. Great way of showing the bits and the resin work in parallel to the carve. Best multicolor carve I’ve seen yet.
Thanks! It’s a little Shark Piranha. You clamp in a compact router and can carve ~ 12x12, but also have passthrough in one axis. The Vcarve desktop software it came with has been decent so far. I’ve had some success with figuring out the Vcarve settings and clearing with a larger mill bit and changing to the v for detail. I haven’t done any cut through yet because the table is aluminum track and I want to make a spoilboard first ... while retaining some clamp options. A lot of fun so far. I’m going to try building a dust boot for it today.
Excellent work sir. I'm sure it was tedious filling in all those small areas with different shades of colors. Thanks for sharing this. And I must say it's really cool that you offer the Vectric files free!
It’s amazing how long it takes for a project so small. I could have filled more than one color per day but then you risk colors mixing and ruining the project. I offer my plans / Vectric files for free all the time. I’m doing this to share my projects and hopefully help others. Thanks for watching and appreciate your comment!
Thanks! I call it a caulk dam since it stops the finish from running over the edge. Plus you save some finish by not coating the boards I’m going to cut off and throw away. Thanks for watching! Have a good one.
Appreciate the kind words Tara! It makes the hard work of making the project, recording, editing, and promoting entirely worth it when I get comments like yours. I also offer the Vectric VCarve files for free if anyone wants to make the same thing. This way they don’t have to recreate the wheel or can learn from what I have already taken the time to create. Have a great one!!! 👍👍👍
I was wondering if you had any trouble with your machine using zero and repeating itself. I have had problem with mine when i taken it off and remounted it. Just asking if you had a different way of zeroing your work?
I made a reference point with 2 pieces of thin plywood on the x and y axis so I have a corner to reference my projects. That combined with setting my G28 or G30 presets makes alignment easier. Good luck with it!
Nice work, did you ever took the board out of the Cnc table? I mean for the application of resin, or did you leave it there all those days so not to have alignment issues?
Yes I did take the board out to lay the epoxy down. I have a reference point on my waste board which allows me to position the workpiece in the same spot every time.
very cool work! i need this soundtrack music though lol love it. i could drive all day to that music. Puts my mind to thinking of Tears of Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World, one of my oldie favs. do you have the links to the audio you used here? thanks
Is it ok to use NFL logo's without their permission? I see people selling all sorts of sports teams stuff at craft fairs and making stuff online like this video. I always thought you had to get a license or permission because of copyright issues. Does it make a difference if it's just made for yourself and have no intention of selling it? I don't know how all that works.
My family owns a sports memorabilia manufacturing business for the past 77 years and they have licensing for all the sports entities except MLS. My business is a subsidiary of my family business technically. However I don’t sell anything I make because I just don’t have the time. I know there are people out there selling and good for them but I have also heard of the famous cease and desist letters going to small makers. If you want to do college memorabilia check with the school. Typically they have licensing for small businesses to make and sell their logos. For example, university of Texas charges $250 per year for their licensing. It’s too expensive and the approval process is almost impossible for a small business to do an entire league. Hope that helps.
I used a bunch of different ones. You have to mix them to obtain the correct tones in the color to match the logo. I would mix them and compare the mixture with the official color swatches from the teams. It took a lot of trial and much error but eventually got the correct shade. It’s more than mixing white with blue to get the correct lighter shade.

Thanks Ben! I really appreciate the feedback. If your new to CNC and have any questions, let me know. What CNC did you get?

@@ShorePointCreations should you decide to do the Philadelphia EAGLES I would be most interested. (I bleed green).
Wow that is awesome... Using the silicone to make a border for the top pour was a great idea...

Thanks for such a creative and informative video!!! Great touch by adding the links to the end mills as they were being used.

ShorePoint Creations I help my husband with his channel and what software did you use to throw the links like that? First time I’ve seen if that way.
Amazing work
Thanks Larry - it’s fun making those logos. I have almost half of the NFL done and hanging on my shop wall.
Titan up!!!
Great project, thanks for sharing your knowledge! I’d like to have the file, where do I send an email?
this is extremely nice. I was looking for your email to get this file.

How did you keep the same x,y starting point?
I have a reference point on my table that the workpiece aligns with every time.

@@ShorePointCreations It does! Thank you. You do great work! I love my X-Carve but I think I'll stick to making other types of stuff.
What color pigments do you use?

can you please send me the vectric files? You did a great job.
