This was fantastic, thank you. Question - why did you use a 3D roughing tool path rather than a simple pocket toolpath for the bowl base inner rim? Is there an important reason or would both do? Thanks!
Thank you for checking the video out, Ben. You made me go back and look at the video, and it looks like I completely forgot to explain why I did it that way. Simply put, I did that so the bowl would have the same shape and taper within that foot as it has outside of the foot. In other words, that dome shape continues inside the foot, rather than just being flat - as it would be if I used a pocket instead of 3D carving it. In your project, you could use either the Pocket toolpath, or you can 3D carve it. Both will work, but continuing that dome shape inside the foot adds a bit more detail, and can separate your work from "everyone else's." Thanks again for commenting, and bringing this to my attention!
New to CNC and Aspire. This video answered so many of my questions! Mark, you’re a great teacher. Really appreciate your generosity in sharing your knowledge
You have cleared up a few things for me. I followed the other video from the conference. I am getting ready to make one of these. It may be a little bit easier now. Thanks again
Mark. I am new to CNC and have been watching your videos. Great resource. I was following your video for making the 2 sided dish and I am having an issue. The thickness of my material does not show accurately when I hover my cursor over it. Im seeing the thickness at .55 and The bottom of the dish protrudes thru the bottom. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any suggestions?
Lovely video tutorial . Thank you Mark . I’m planning on using this to make a larger bowl . Is there a way you know to cut a 2” x 4” “handle” on two sides ? The cut would obviously follow a contour . Thanks
A couple quick questions: when you machine this, you’re zeroing z on material surface, then off the table for dowel holes, then off material surface again? And can you explain base height in the modeling tab?
Great video Mark!! I am very new to cnc and even newer to Vectric. I have Desktop. I have a question for you though. Can I use the Molding tool path to create a profile for a dish or a bowl?? How would I do that?? Thanks.
Great suggestion, Steve! I'll go over that again in the Live Q&A, but I showed that in Part 4 of the V-Carving series. th-cam.com/video/TyEHhkiEnCY/w-d-xo.html
I think 2-sided machining was introduced in Version 9 or 9.5, but I would encourage you to update to Version 12. There are so many other tools that have been added along the way, you're really working with stone age tech by sticking with V4.5.
I have Aspire but have yet to cut a 3D model, defo the video is encouraging me to try. Can you expand on the dowels and how thy will be used to locate on the bed.
Glad to hear you figured it out. Much like a Jigsaw, it's a jumble at first, but when things start fitting together, the picture becomes clear. 2-sided machining sounds confusing at first, but when you do a project or two, everything clicks into place, and you'll see how simple it actually is. I was hesitant to try the technique because I didn't think I understood it. I practiced on a piece of an old fence board that was destined for the land fill, and everything worked the first time I tried it. Now, I don't give 2-Sided projects a second thought. Well, except for the second side, that is...
Mark, I have a project that is similar to this except on the bottom where you used a round foot I would like to have a star that follows the contour of the bowl (so not flat on the bottom picture Captain America's shield). How do I get the star to follow the contour? I thought I saw a video where you talked about this but am unable to find it now.
Great video Mark as always, personally I make my bowls on my lathe but would be tempted to try to make some different shaped bowls on my CNC. I only have V carve desktop at the moment but have a trial version of Aspire and am looking into that but apart from Bekie at Vetric who demonstrates makings a lille leaf shaped bowl I can't find any more information.
The project in this video CAN be done in VCarve Desktop. In fact, almost all of the 3D projects on my channel can be. If it's an Aspire Only video, I say so within the first few seconds.
So I followed along and made a bigger version of this dish. I had a problem though. After cutting the top I flipped it in the dowels and after cutting the bottom I thought everything was great but when I took it off the machine and flipped it over it was out side to side by almost 2 inches. I wonder why that would be. If it wasn't for that it would have been great
There are a couple of variables in play here. First, did you flip the material in the same direction that you set in Job Setup? Did you copy vectors from top to bottom, then NOT move them from there? Out on the machine, you DO NOT reset your X or Y zero after you flip the material. There are several other factors as well, but those are the ones that most often get folks.
With the way I do it, there's only one way it can be mounted. If you drill all the way through the material and into the spoilboard, the dowel holes won't match up when you flip the material.
@@MarkLindsayCNC I guess I will have to mess with it on the CNC I’m still not seeing it, 🤔. I have only done a few two sided some time ago, Thanks for the reply, love the videos.
Ottimo video seguito passo passo ma devo avere sbagliato qualcosa nella progettazione perchè quando sono andato sulla mia cnc lo ha distrutto se ti mando il progetto mi riusciresti a dire dove ho sbagliato? dall'Italia roberto
I'm sorry, but I simply don't have the time to go through individual files. All I can say is to make sure you set your Z zero correctly, and that you set it after every tool change, and after you've flipped the piece. I demonstrated that process in Part 2 of this series, here: th-cam.com/video/UhIaC-ApL9M/w-d-xo.html
Well, I'm completely confused :-). On the other hand, as a wood turner, I can hardly wait to try this. Boy is it going to upset my fellow turner's guild members. On another subject, how in God's green earth did you learn all this stuff?
What are you confused about? If it's the 2-Sided Machining portion, I'd suggest going back to my previous videos on the subject. In Part 1 I design the project: th-cam.com/video/qsTdCdelBkg/w-d-xo.html In Part 2 I cut both sides of the project: th-cam.com/video/UhIaC-ApL9M/w-d-xo.html The way I learned this stuff was digging into the Vectric tutorials ad just doing it over and over again. I'm from the old school, so the way I learn is by hands-on repetition and drilling. I practice. I designed a simple 2-Sided project and cut it out of old fence boards that were destined for the land fill. Once I got the process down, I moved on to better materials and more complex designs. The project you see in the 2 videos I linked above was my 5th or 6th 2-sided project, and my first project made from material that was not replaceable. You just have to do it in order to learn it. I learn by doing it over and over.

I am a newbie to the 3D world. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to share your knowledge with us. This was outstanding.
Sure would like to see the end results... good job explaining how to carve it.
Very nice presentation. I will review it again and take careful notes when I get my machine.
You have cleared up a few things for me. I followed the other video from the conference. I am getting ready to make one of these. It may be a little bit easier now. Thanks again
I love the bowl I will try to make for a gift
Thanks again
Another excellent tutorial, Mark. Thanks

Cool looking bowl Mark. You need to show how to add a logo inside the foot for people who make products for sale

Hi I have Aspire 4,5 , but don't have opion Toggle Top/botton side. Which number of Aspire hes such option?

How do I get the star to follow the contour? I thought I saw a video where you talked about this but am unable to find it now.
Do you have any tips on making this from a custom shape created in Aspire? Are there any specific parameters that need to be set in Aspire?
I'm sorry, but for the moment, I don't. BUT! I will be doing a video of that very topic in the new shop/shed after the New Year.
Great video Mark as always, personally I make my bowls on my lathe but would be tempted to try to make some different shaped bowls on my CNC.

I would like to see the finished bowl.
You mention it can be done vcarve in pro 10 and desktop10. But I was wondering, can it be done in 9.5?
Yes it can. It's a normal 2-Sided project. The processes are exactly the same.
I'm a little late to the dance, but do i set the Z to the original surface for the finish on the bottom cut ?
Never mind that, mine turned out to be a paper plate, hahaha. Messed some thing up, back to the drawing board.
how long would it take to cut it?
Why not drill dowel holes all the way through to the spoil board from the front? Am I missing some issue with that?
With the way I do it, there's only one way it can be mounted. If you drill all the way through the material and into the spoilboard, the dowel holes won't match up when you flip the material.

good morning mark please i am new with cnc can you send me link to your video setup x y zzero for project
i use aspire and cncmach3
hi very nice pls upload files
I don't upload files like this. I literally just showed you how to create it yourself.
Thanks again
