CNC Machining & Moulding An Oak Plaque - While She Sleeps Album Art
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 พ.ค. 2024
- In February 2021 I reimagined the While She Sleeps artwork from the album Sleeps Society by designing and machining an oak version of the banner featured on the cover. I decided to gift this piece to the band, which lead to me machining a very limited run of two sizes for the band to sell at the album launch pop-up event they held.
In 2022, a special edition version was in the works and the band landed on the idea of painting one of the plaques black, photographing it and using it as the album art. This led to me engraving the full track listing into a large piece of polyurethane model board which was also painted black, photographed and used as the reverse cover.
Further down the line, the idea was sparked to create black versions of the plaque available for fans to own. Due to the lengthy machining times, machining oak versions wasn’t justifiable so we had the idea of moulding a version of the plaque and casting them from polyurethane. The importance to me with this project was to make a replica of the one featured on the artwork, not something similar. With that in mind, the master had to be an oak plaque rather than one machined from plastic or model board to ensure the wood grain and textures were present.

The attention to detail, the exceedingly clean results, the beautiful videography... Amazing work!
Thanks Garret I appreciate that and I'm glad you enjoyed the project and the video itself!
RTA - Really Talented Artist.
The fact you are self taught, film everything yourself and make everything yourself blows me away every time. You are honestly the epitome of an artist Reece. Keep at it dude.
Rapid thermal annealing
No ads, No sponsors. You have my respect brother 🫡
I mean maybe I’m just echoing everyone else here, but thank you for sharing the story of this build. From start to finish I’m impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. You’ve reminded me that, no matter what, go slow. Speed never pays off when you’re looking for a photo-ready piece.
Came here also from your new phone charging stand. That one earned my subscription, and I’m looking forward to learning more from you, as a developing industrial designer myself. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for putting no music and just the raw sound so we can hear the process. :)
Another very enjoyable video; thank you for sharing! I love how the mould picks up the detail of the Oak grain👍😊
Absolutely love your videos! So inspiring and relaxing to watch! Keep it up!
Unbelievably. I enjoyed every minute of this cinematic top notch craftmanship. Truly inspring and educational.
Hey I just discovered your channel last week and wanted to say I'm mad impressed at everything you do. My whole DIY hobby started from a blown speaker in my '99 S10 and that eventually led me down DIY car audio (fiberglass kick panels, sub boxes, etc) and eventually into 3D printing/CNC. The fact you're doing all of this at the quality you are, AND filming/editing it as you go is very impressive. Keep up the great work.
The esthetics - 100% gold & charcoal! STUNNING!
Just amazing from start to finish
Absolutely fantastic. What a talented man Reece is.
A blessing to watch these it is
Love while she sleeps! So awesome
The detail and perfection... Didn't expect anything different than that 😎👊🏼
Wow, such an impressive amount of detail captured in the silicone mold! Really impressive work!
one of the most beautiful album cover I ve ever seen
Stunning! Great video of the work, too!
Master craftsman at work. Video production is next-level too.
Stunning.
I felt like I was staring in my own 'reacts' video watching this. First video I am watching of yours and I was ready for you to be done when you finished with the original which was really nice and then you started making the mold and my mind was blown again. Thanks for sharing your craft with us.
Incredible work.
The 3D printed matrix shell is superb. It's not a method I see often but it's certainly one that should be utilized more. Bookmarked and saved for later.
Thanks Alec! Yeah it’s not a method I see that often either! If you don’t already I’d check out Volpinprops over on Instagram. It’s a guy called Harrison who does some excellent work and creates so really good and technical matrix moulds! Thanks for watching!
@@RTAFabrication I've been following him for years. He/his team is the only other instance I've seen of printed mold jackets. They produce amazing work but I just haven't seen an instructional like this!
Whoaaa... I love this video.This is just incredible.
The fabrication here is on a whole nother level!
Thanks I appreciate that! Thanks for checking it out.
Another awesome video and project man! Keep killing it 👊🏼
Just wow!!!!!!
every now and then the algorithm gets it right, a random vid pops up that ticks all my boxes, thanks for bringing me here Google and thanks to you for the great work.
That’s great thanks Peter! I’m glad it ticked all the boxes for you and that you enjoyed it! I appreciate you watching!
incredible!
Soothing and inspiring.
Great end result Reece,it looks fantastic!
For videos like this, they need to replace the Like button with a Love button. Very well done!
Haha thanks Paul I appreciate that! 👊🏻
this is magic !
So satisfying to watch. Excellent craftsmanship!
Thanks I appreciate it! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Excellent Video! One of the best out there!
Thank you, means a lot! 🤘🏻
goooood job! amazing :)
fascinating! your filming and your work are both amazing! it feels like seating in a cinema and watching a Movie!
U have all the tools and high skills. Epic
Parabéns, lindo trabalho!!!
Absolutely incredible!
Thank you Kaden!
Impressive work! From the highly detailed product to the aesthetic throughout the entire video. Loved watching every second of it! Something that's also worth noting is the fact that there's a lot of designing work that didn't got shown in this video.
I am truly in awe.
Thanks man I appreciate the feedback! You’re right about the design work, I thought that might be abit of a boring thing to watch and break the flow of the video in this style. I appreciate acknowledgment of that though! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Sunday Watching From The Caribbean.
Just awesome, underrated channel needs a lot more subs that it has. ❤
looks like a movie! amazing content
_Thanks! Very interesting!_
just wow!!!
Thanks man 👊🏻 thanks for watching!
Love it wow
Great video! I love how skilfully and neatly you work
Thank you Paul I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
just like a pro movie 😍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
This is just fantastic. No music would be my preference.
I am watching ur videos like i am watching a Netflix series 🤌🏻. Amazing work dude ❤.
Thank you man I appreciate that! 👊🏻 Thanks for watching them!
wow - the amount of work that went into this is just incredible! Well done sir.
Thanks man I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
wow . . . this was an outstanding video. the craftsmanship of both the product and the recording was fantastic!
Thanks man I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment! Glad you enjoyed it.
Super absolutamente todo.
Magnificent, also love while she sleeps!
Thanks Alex! Yeah Sleeps have got to be my favourite band! Privileged to have been able to have my work as the album art! Thanks for watching!
Really, really well done - this was a pleasure to watch!
And THANK YOU for vacuuming the resin before pouring, even though pressurizing it whilst hardening. I wonder why so few people do...
Many resins have a pot life too short to vacuum. When you are casting a few hundred items, a few minutes more cute time can equal another days work time.
If you’re making your molds right and pouring correctly you generally won’t see a difference between vacuuming and not.
Though every mold is different and calls for different techniques. That’s the fun and the heartbreak of fabricating. lol
Lol, I just walked out to the shed turned the CNC on put in my headphones and now I am watching your video :)
Haha thanks for checking it out Michael! I do appreciate it!
absolutely amazing and detailed work. keep it up
Thanks for the support and thanks for watching!
Brilliant.
Thanks Jack I appreciate it!
This channel so underrated ngl,
The quality are out of the world, he put so much effort to every video he make
I agree with you! I don't understand why TH-cam doesn't promote new content.
Thanks man I appreciate that! I think my main problem is consistency of uploads to be honest. It’s difficult to film some of the work I do as it extends the length of the job quite a lot with setting up lighting, new angles etc. I am working towards streamlining my setup with fixed lighting for different work areas so there’s less setup between shots. That, among other things, will definitely speed up the process and give me more opportunity to film more projects. Thanks for watching!
@@RTAFabrication We also set up the light at the beginning and eventually came up with more natural light to save time. But we have a separate operator. It must be very hard on your own. You're a big lad. Did you do anything to promote the channel? Or did the algorithms eventually find you? I already have hands because of the small number of views.
@@RTAFabrication I'll be waiting for your next content 😁
Also keep safe and healthy💪
Just Wow.. Amazing
Thanks!
watched 1 min then stopped, had to sub before I forgot. Unreal work dude!
Thank you man I appreciate that a lot!
we need more videos like this
Thanks Ghassen! I appreciate you checking out the video and for the support!
That's a great video. Is it okay to show this much know-how? Thank you. I'm very interested in casting resin and this video has helped me a lot. And your video is beautiful and the editing is flawless. I hope more videos will be uploaded. Thank you!😄
sab ka svagat how too good
Yes.... this pleases my OCD greatly. Amazing work
Thanks Myles! Glad it was satisfying for you to watch!
Incredible work, just love it.
Thank you man I appreciate it 👊🏻
@@RTAFabrication Hi RTA, curious about which degasser you are using, I'm shopping ATM but not sure... also would love to know more about the router bits you are using. Thanks, now watching again for the second time round hahaha
Awesome video. And WSS kick arse as well!
Buen trabajo !
Very smartly done, ta for the vid.
Thank you man and thanks for watching!
Great work
Thanks!
It's 00:01 and I'm sitting in front of the monitor and watching your stunning work. Highest level of editing the video! Thanks for clarifying all the details in the comments!
Thanks for watching man! No worries, I hope you’ve been able to find all the info you need. With all the questions I’ve been asked, I am tempted to create a video of me making something but explaining what I’m doing and mentioning materials and reasons for using them as I feel it might be helpful to a lot of people!
incredible work.
Thank you John!
I'm digging the ASMR craftsman vibe of these videos man. Great work and hope to see more!
Thanks man! Honestly torn with this one whether I should have put music to it or not but decided to go ASMR style. Glad you enjoyed it man and thanks for watching!
@@RTAFabrication true, I can see the calm classical music working for the video. Regardless, the audio quality is CRISP!
ASMR was absolutely correct decision!
Great job on the 3d printing and Mould. Having the know-how on how to do things every step of the way isn't for everyone.
love it
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Absolutely beautiful dude, your talent is legendary.
Thanks Seth I appreciate that! Thanks for the love over on Instagram too, tacos and toolpaths if I remember correctly?
@@RTAFabrication thats me! i love while she sleeps too so this is a wicked cool project to me.
Okay now let's all share and spread this video, this man deserves a million views!!!
Haha thanks Rémi I appreciate the support and thanks for watching!
Next Level
Absolutely insane. So much tedious work went into that but the results are amazing!
Thanks Charlie! Yeah it’s a long process, especially with filming it all myself too. Now I have the mould and the shell making another mould once this burns out will take quite literally half a day to a full day. I can put the master back in one side of the silicone and put that into the shell then just pour silicone into the side that I left out. Once that’s cured, removed the old silicone side and pour into that side, so the work with the shell and everything does pay off in the long run! Thanks for watching!
Very cool but i would have loved some text on screen describing the process, types of materials, specs etc. Larry
HE'S FINALLY BACK!!
Haha yeah finally managed to film another project! I'll try not to leave it so long before my next one! Thanks for watching man!
Good work dude!
Awesome
You make beautiful videos. It would be nice to see you upload more often.
Thanks! I’m working on some more content at the moment. Currently it’s tracking about one a year which isn’t ideal 😅 Thanks for watching!
Why is your channel not bigger? You do everything so well.
Thank you man I appreciate that! I’m grateful for the growth I’ve had so far, but I think it’s down to the inconsistency of uploads. I’m working on a schedule that’s going to make uploading more often possible 👍🏻
Great work. Also looking at the charred marks on sides of wood during the CNC camera work, try tuning the cut plan, decrease rpm or increase speed. If it cannot cope for lack of rigidity, try reducing depth of cut
but again, was just used as a master for a mould so ... not much difference :D
Super professional job man 👍💫👍
Thank you man I appreciate it! 👊🏻
I just love it! Your work is fantastic, I was already impressed by your previous product video about the suspension controller. If I understood correctly, you use "1-2-1 Easy Mould" for the silicone. Can you provide more information or a link about polyurethane? (I was not very successful in finding one similar to yours, which is two-part and black)
Thanks in advance and keep it up!
Great stuff!! What laser machine do you use?
i congratulate you what good work you do, help those we follow you and tell us what kind of materials you use to do your jobs
Reece you legend 👌
Dude! 👏
Thanks man! 👊🏻
Love it mate
Thanks for watching!
nice work
Subbed! amazing work! this is my dream in a video presentation. haa
As always you have another great video. I noticed that you are using a compressor without an oil filter, so smoke is emitted during its operation. try to use such a filter and you will get rid of the unpleasant smell in your room)
Nice work!
Thanks man 👊🏻
What laser cutter are you using? Really nice videos! I’m impressed.
bump, i need more of this plzkthx
Got some stuff in the works!
