Was just watching a video of a gut that does cutting boards. They are amazing. But as I watched him use his CNC machine I thought "I can never do that". Partly because I dont own a CNC. Then I remembered your videos that I had watched. Amazing stuff. Love to watch. Wish you were till putting videos out.
+Angie Overton Thanks for your comment. I may have to start cranking out some fresh material. It always helps when a viewer like yourself shares their feedback.
The Apprentice and The Journeyman .... I am a big fan of your stuff. I would love some new material but I still go back and watch the things from the past. I first started watching your videos about 2 1/2 years ago. My skill level and knowledge has changed so I go back and learn something new each time.
n8guy, Yep, these are cool designs. It is known as Sacred Geometry. Great question! Yes, the compass rose block can be made higher. This would allow for more veneers to be maximized from a single block. Another set of 2 sleds are used in that operation. The benefit of showing the method used in the video is...more people can grasp this woodworking method. It is a good & basic foundation from which many woodworkers can learn the process. Cut the segments, glue them, & cut veneers. Thanks!
Those look really cool! I will have to make some. I've seen people use tinted epoxy to fill an inlay design in wood. Maybe route a circle bigger than the rose and glue the rose in the middle of the circle, then fill in the extra space with tinted epoxy and sand flush. hmmm
Love the video and I want to make my own. I checked your channel but couldn't find the video showing how to make the sled. Could you possibly repose it? Thanks
The easiest way would be to cut the shape of the rose from a disc of a third, contrasting wood. The rose fits into the disc, which can then easily be inlaid into a surface.
Glad you enjoy it. The wood species used to make the compass rose projects are of hard maple and black walnut. These two woods are selected primarily because of their contrasting wood tones. However, both woods were conveniently available scrap in the wood bin. Thanks for watching.
Wow. Those are awesome! Any reason you didn't just use wider pieces, thereby saving all the extra cutting and glue-up time? Is there a benefit to doing it this way?

firewatch059... The sled is easy to make. (Watch the videos of other sleds that I have posted.) Make a runner that slides well in the miter slot. Use flat material for the sled. Scrap material is fine to use. Glue & pin nail the runner to the sled. Cut a saw kerf about a 1/3 of the way through. Now, measure 22-1/2 degrees off of the kerf. This is the fence angle. glue and pin nail the fence in place. Refer to 0:44 of the video. Make sure to study the video a few times to better understand.
james rowlands... To set the 22-1/2 degree fence angle to the saw kerf I use a Wixey digital protractor. It is a great tool to have in the woodworking shop. Thanks for watching and for your interest.
Once the band saw sled is built the fun begins. Take some wood from the scrap bin and make some test cuts. Play with it and let your imagination & intuition go. Experiment & enjoy the process. Work safely.
Thank you very much for this video, awesome. I wish learning how to make a compass rose of 24 inches on a table saw. Does anyone got an idea about that. Wish to put a compass rose in my shop floor.
Cosmas, Thank you. Yes, the mitre sled must be at the exact angle. However, that only takes a few minutes to perform. A digital angle gauge works very well to obtain the angle when setting the fence. Also plastic drafting squares with the appropriate angle can be used also. There are videos on my TH-cam woodworking channel that show exactly how the band saw sled is built and also how the angles for the fence are obtained. please watch for more information. Thanks for watching & commenting.
how far is your stop block from the point of the guide, and at what angle? I made the sled, put the guide at 22 1/2 but i cant fit all the pieces together. its close but something is off.
Steven, We want the CR veneers to be of equal thickness. Don't underestimate the value of the thin rip jig in this demonstration. By referencing off of it we are able to obtain 3/32" thickness consistently. One of my goals in sharing this video was to show how a small decorative design like the compass rose block can be made into multiples with safety and little effort. Thanks for watching.
You would enjoy the woodworking process. Hope that you are able to have a woodworking shop in the near future. It's a great craft in which to be to be involved. Thanks for watching & commenting.
Look at 00:45. Watch this cut again. Make sure that cut #2 of the segment is right alongside the point of cut #1. This requires a few test cuts to make sure the stop block is positioned in the right place. (Angle of stop block)...unimportant really. The stop block just controls the length of the segment being cut. 1.) make sure the fence angle is 22-1/2 degrees (dead-on)to the sled's saw kerf. 2.) Make sure all segments are of uniform lengths. (stop block.) Stay w/ it. Let me know.
Thank you for the very instructive videos. Will try to reproduce for a project in mind. I hope you have time to clarify the following: Is the rose 2" diameter? Are your workpieces 3/4 thick X 3/4 wide? Face grain against the fence? I want to make these but unclear on the geometry. I'm aiming at a 4" diameter rose. Thank you.
Elizabeth...if you want a 4" diameter rose I suggest you take a minute and draw it out on paper. Focus on 1 segment that is 2" in length. Draw the segment with the correct angles. Use a plastic drafting triangle for this. Once you have the 2" segment, adding another segment to its length will equal the 4" diameter. Yes, use the face grain against the fence. Have fun with it.
woodstoney... Thanks for taking the time to watch the woodworking video and also to comment. Your appreciation and support is important. Thanks very much.
james rowlands... Please clarify your question. You may want to read the description & perhaps watch the video again. It is a fun process. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Den0Q, Now that the compass rose veneers are made, they have to be inlaid into some woodworking project. That part still needs to be figured out. Any suggestions? Thanks for watching and contributing!
Laney, Thanks for the feedback! You will enjoy this project. It is a great way to maximize your efforts of a great design. (Make one block & receive many veneers.) Let me know how it goes.
Jean-Marc, Take the basic idea that I have shared with you in this video. Build a sled for the table saw with the required angles. This will allow you to make a larger compass rose. Thanks for watching.
In case you get a dumb comment (Like the one I was about to give) I checked Home Depot and one of those pieces cost $425.00 I will be trying it, thanks, beautiful work
It is fun stuff that can be made with wood scraps. Glad you enjoy these woodworking videos. Please come back for the next one.
you are one awesome craftsmen. Excellent video
Excellent. Tutorial. As always Bob. One I will definitely be trying. For sure.

as all your videos, amazing work :) no need for fancy words or sponsors. Keep up, i've learn alot with your videos. Thank you a million times :)
Nice work...very inspiring. I need to make me some inlays now.
Very nicely done and informative video as always!! I appreciate your work and thanks for sharing!!
I was not expecting that at the end, you broke them into smaller sections. genius!
It's called a surprise ending.

Enjoy making the compass rose. It's a fun project.
That was amazing. You are very talented. Thank you for sharing.
awesome pretty tiny little work
Beautiful.
thanks you for sharing it nice work i will try it thanks again it was helpful video
Excelente trabajo... Probare..Gracias.
That is AWESOME I WILL HAVE TO TRY THANK YOU!
Very nice! Thanks for sharing,
Nice work plz keep it up
would you please do a video on how to inlay these? Your work is amazing.
Thanks for the info great video.
Beautiful! You must have set that mitre sled angle to ridiculous precision! How did you do that?
Love the video and I want to make my own. I checked your channel but couldn't find the video showing how to make the sled. Could you possibly repose it? Thanks
More to learn
Thanks

Fun, instruction video. Am having a great ime honing "the skill". An instructional DIY on adj. bandsaw fence would be nice.
Wow. Those are awesome!

i love your work very good what angle is the wood on the right is it 45 degress ???? can anybody please let me know want to try this out thanks ...
Thanks MrLeonard. Thanks again for watching.
Greate.Tnx
Awesome! What two types of wood are you using?
wow these look amazing! I could use a super-thin one as a golf ball marker!
Great idea!
Thanks will do
Nice

Made some a year ago, everyone thought they were awesome. Find myself making more today
Chris Palmer Keep up the great work. They get better and better.

Sorry, I spoke before I watched whole thing. Nice work
OK, that was good. Not sure how much help the thin rip Rockler was since it hardly touched the CR. Cutting the inlay must be difficult.

very impressive no need to through away scrap wood turn it into inlay.
+tonyjs70 Excellent point! Creating wood inlay is a great way to utilize scrap material.

Hi there could you please send me a diagram on how to set the table fence up to 22 and a half degrees would be very gratefully if you can thanks james

I have a question, I cut my pieces at 22-1/2 degrees but can only get 7 points on my star not eight. what could I be doing wrong?
In case you get a dumb comment (Like the one I was about to give) I checked Home Depot and one of those pieces cost $425.00 I will be trying it, thanks, beautiful work
Thanks Charles
👍👍👍👍👏
I can do that.
The silence hurts. Feels like I'm watching a serial killer deep in routine. Cool work though.
si dovrebbe insegnare anche ai nostri ragazzi,-ne sono competente di questa arte, peccato -va scomparendo.
woodprix is a good solution for every woodworker.
I like mine better. Its a little bigger and installed on the floor of an elevator.
You’ve got to be joking! Mine is smaller and much prettier.
Woodglut has very good designs and plans.
