Making The Bookpile Box | Michael Tyler's FREE CNC Project of the Month | Vectric

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 มิ.ย. 2024
- This project is an interesting and attractive box made to resemble a pile of old, stacked books. The lid resembles a slightly oversized book made to overhang the “books” that are stacked underneath to provide a convenient “lip” when lifting the lid.
The lid of the book box was intentionally left “plain”. However, this does lend itself to customization on your part, if you would like to create a nice design on the lid!
I used Aspire to create the book spines, then exported as STL to use in VCarve. A few of the software features used while designing this project included the Drawing and Node editing tools, Moulding Toolpath, Vector Offset, and Boundary Create, Interactive Trim (scissors tool), Rail Sweep, and Create Shape modeling features.

I really enjoy Michael's tips and tricks. Things like cutting up the credit card to make a spacer for the hinge fitting.
Thanks!
This is the nicest project I have ever seen. Can you imagine to customize the book edge for a friend? For example. The smartest ladies in history named Sue. Or, the greatest child named Paul. It makes you want to run out and buy a CNC. Just fabulous!
Thank you, glad you like the project!
The VCP and Aspire projects are quite inspiring. Each time I do one, there is a new process to learn. Painting techniques and special cutting processes have really helped to "up my game". Thank you.
Thanks Fred that is great to hear!
I'm always amazed at the creative ideas you always come up with.....
Thank you for your kind comment!
Hello Michael, nicely done! This is a brilliant project and thank you for also making it possible in Vcut! I plan on making at least one of these, but likely several for gifts. Cheers, Peter.
My favorite project of yours so far! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you!
Very cool, thank you very much
Thanks!
Amazing! Very well done as always!
Thank you so much 😀
Simply spectacular!
Thank you!
Fantastic project thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Awesome work and tutorial, I love your watch too...
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice job well done Michael
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for the video, cool casket.
Thanks for watching and thank you for your kind comments!
Wow great work Thanks for the inspiration!
Our Pleasure.
Nice project it will be fun to make.
Have fun! Thank you
really like your watch.
Thank you!
Thanks for another great project, Michael.
Interesting way to set hinges so they don't look so obvious. Did you run into any trouble with "springing" or binding?
This is great! One change is make though is to cut the miters using a 90 deg v bit with the CNC since you’re already machining both sides. It would be easier and more accurate.
Thanks Ryan, yes that would work and you could use the chamfer toolpath!
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for your kind comments :)
c'est vraiment bien merci :)
Merci pour votre commentaire!
@@vectric comment faire pour devenir pro vectric
This may seem a silly question, so please do not be offended. I have just purchased my very first cnc machine. I have gone for the onefinity woodworker. I have purchased Vcarve Pro. The question is this, as you are working on both sides of the wood, why did you not install a 90 degree v bit and do the all the mitres along with the rebate for the hinges with the relevant bit change, after all you know the exact size of the hinges and where the mitres are to go, as then you would have a perfect fit and take out the use of another machine in the shop.
Ahh, chisel work in a CNC video! Made my morning
Good to hear! Thanks
Hi Michael, great project as usual! Why can’t this be done in VCarve Desktop? I loaded some of the files but the tool pathing is wonky.
Hey Glenn! Thank you for your kind comments! If you need any assistance with project itself, could you kindly email our dedicated support team who would be more than happy to assist you. You can reach them on support@vectric.com I hope this helps, have a great day!
Why start with gloss and then follow-up with flat. I understand the flat allows better paint adhesion, but why not just use flat for the whole seal finish before the paint? I know there is a reason but it is not clear to me and I am new to trying out how to finish projects. Michael is a master.
Nice! One question: Will it work on VCarve Desktop or Pro only?
Hey there! This project is compatible with Aspire and VCarve Pro :) I hope this helps!
@@vectric Thanks!!
Great video. Is there any to convert these files to work with Aspire 9.5
Hi Karen, unfortunately we cannot back date this project I'm afraid.
What material did you use? What would you recommend?
Hello Bob... it looks like pine to me. Mike does not mention it specificaly... but that would be my guess. ~Todd
Is there a tutorial on how to make the actual file in Aspire....or at least the book spine?
That would be helpful for newbies.
Hello and thanks for the question. We don't have one on that specific model seeing as Mike did that bit we do have modelig resources avaiable here - www.vectric.com/support/tutorials/aspire?search=3D%20modeling
For some reason when I download and install them into Vectric I can’t determine the depth of the tool paths. Your settings don’t show so don’t have anything to go by. I know I’m missing something. Did the same thing on the Parrish pump. I’ve downloaded others projects and didn’t seem to have any issues. Not sure as to what is going on? I’m sure it’s on my part though.
Hey R Bwoodwork, could you kindly e-mail our support team who will be able to point you in the right direction :) - support@vectric.com
Very inventive method of building a box. Well done, it looks great.
I suspect you set the hinges incorrectly but need a close up pic. The hinges wouldn't normally have large gap between the faces when closed. You would get a normal barrel look with hinges closed without gap. (Which way were countersinks cut in hinges)
No, he cut them correctly. The top of the hinges on the lid were not recessed...
What kind of free project is it if it can only be downloaded by those who have version 10 or higher?
Exactly! How disappointing.
Can I do the same with a plywood?
Yes you can, thanks!
When I down loaded the files they are zipped and says there are six files but I only get five files. When I ran them the file for the 2nd side of the two side crave is not there.
Hi Greg it looks like there should be four crv files and one PDF file. The Box Sides Layout files look like they should just be one sided and the Two Side Lid and Spines files two sided. Is this what you are seeing? Hope this helps. Thanks
@@vectric Yes that is what I am seeing but when I machine the two sided board on the second side there is no file to do this. There is a file called Swept Profile lid .25 DE EM (Clear) but I have no idea what this file is for, It is not the file to cut out the lid and parts from the first side of this board. Has anyone else had this problem or am I doing something wrong?????
Watching this during lunch, computer is in the shop. What thickness wood did you use?
.75
Hey, your watch is also wooden 😀
Well spotted, thanks!
