  • I absolutely love inlay! In this video, I'll show you how I used the Shaper Origin to create a logo using three dyed veneer colors and with very small, intricate details. There are other ways to do this...I felt comfortable doing it the way I did it. And the guys at Shaper (Shaper Assist) helped me with the files...superb support and a fun, accurate & fantastic machine! The video is a bit long, but there’s other tips (on routers) near the end. Much thanks.

    What a great video, Ramon (as usual). I had never thought of trying to do something like that with my shaper - I have it on my list for a future project. I didn't know you could get 1/32" bits. I've used a 1/16" bit in my trim router and I was afraid it was going to break. 1/32" is crazy small but was the perfect bit for this project. You probably already know this, but when you are inputting any dimension, you can do it as a fraction. For example, when you were entering the bit diameter, you could have typed 1 / 32. Thanks for the mention about double clicking - I use it all them time with lettering.

    • @ramonartful
      @ramonartful  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks David. I plan on using even smaller bits ...maybe .015”. Just to play around with minimizing inside radii. There’s a company called Think & Tinker that sells them....1/8” shaft. Ben Brunick shared this with me. Also, I like using decimal equivalents to learn and retain the numbers. 😬

    Another great vid. Thanks much. I have been researching the Shaper Origin for a while and trying to decide if I want to add it to my shop. Still not totally decided, I'm really concerned about being able to handle the files, create images and the programming aspect. Dealing with computers is surely not my thing. Great info and thanks much.

    • @ramonartful
      @ramonartful  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the feedback! And I’m exactly where you were. I’ve learned a ton just by watching a few TH-cam vids....Shaper has great tutorials. Now, the technology is getting better (easier) all the time. For many projects it’s a simple process of finding free clip art, using a free file converter program, convert the image to a file that the machine can read (an SVG) and send it to the Shaper.
      OR...Shaper Hub has a large library (and constantly growing) set of files that are ready to use. Simply download and they go directly to your machine! OR...the guys at Shaper can make a file for you...literally from something as crude as a sketch on a napkin!
      I actually sent them this logo...let them know that I needed it to be 3 3/4” diameter...and they created it for me. The charge for doing this is super reasonable. I love this thing

      Patrick - I've had my shaper origin for a couple of months and it is amazing. Ramon showed in a previous video how much design work you can do right on the tool without having to spend a minute at your computer. I use this feature a lot and it works for many projects. Some things that I have done required me to use my computer and if you are willing to spend a few hours and watch a few videos, you can get pretty good without having to learn everything there is to know about the software. In my case, I'm using Inkscape which was frustrating for the first few hours, but then got a lot easier. I've not tried shaper assist but it looks like a great service. I'm finding new uses for the tool all the time. I just posted about a 1/5 scale model of a coffee table where I cut all of the parts using my shaper origin. It was so quick. Good luck with your decision.

      Thanks for watching! These I purchased from Green River Veneer years ago...back then he was trying to get out of the business. I don’t believe that he’s still doing it. However, B & B Rare woods carries it and I’ve recently purchased thick dyed veneer from Roar Rocket. Also, Sauers & Company has dyed veneer that I’m currently inquiring with for an upcoming project. Thanks

    Hi Ramon - I didn’t quite understand why you did reverse cut, and then regular cut at the end. Could you explain? Ps you’re a rock star.

    • @ramonartful
      @ramonartful  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry…just now getting to this.
      Okay…as I’m routing inside the circular template…the router bit is turning (as viewed from above) clockwise. As I approach both the 2:00 and about 7:00 positions within the template…the grain (that is horizontal) can be prone to tearing out. Or in other words, the clock wise rotation of the router bit could “catch” it and splinter it. So, by moving the router in a counter clockwise motion first…this potential tear-out situation is minimized. Hope that makes sense. And thanks a ton!

    how is it possible to make such precision cuts with any kind of speed with a handheld machine? what keeps it from going all over the place ?

    • @ramonartful
      @ramonartful  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Shaper Origin utilizes markers (seen as domino looking tape) These markers are read by the computer…once it scans the tape and inputs that information, it knows precisely where it is in 3D space. And I mean to the thousandth of an inch. Remarkable technology! Hope that makes sense.

    • @ramonartful
      @ramonartful  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! It took me a while because back then I didn’t have a lot of experience with the Shaper Origin. I was being cautious😆 Probably a few hours. It would go much faster now! The good thing about cutting veneers that are thin is (in general) that you don’t have to make incremental cuts or offsets. One cut…all the way through.

  • @jthewino1
    @jthewino1 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm doing alot of inlays and plan on doing alot more, I cut out my inlays with a 80w co2 laser so knowing that the inlays could be very intense. Would you recommend the Origin for the piece getting inlayed? It gets really monotonous when I do a pointed inlay or inlaid inlays. Thank you

    • @ramonartful
      @ramonartful  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well…that a good question. I don’t have any experience with laser (besides the medallions that I have made with my logo) so I can’t really compare.
      The Shaper can be time consuming for intricate detail because a single piece may need several cuts around its perimeter. For instance, a rough pass, then maybe a bit change with a smaller diameter bit and another pass to get into tighter radii…even several passes for depth. Lots of variables. That being said…it is extremely accurate. It doesn’t have to be slow either…it just depends on the design.
      What are you inlaying into, how are you cutting the cavities, what is the inlay material , etc. Thanks

    How do you place the number 19 exactly in the center of the circle?

    • @ramonartful
      @ramonartful  ปีที่แล้ว

      This logo was created as an svg file. So, the 19 is drawn centered already. However, one could make a grid onboard the Shaper Origin and modify it to have 1/16” grid squares. (It may even go smaller…I’m not sure). Then, it would be easy to place. Or use a “center anchor point” on the circle and on the 19 and bam! Centered. Hope that makes sense. Thanks.
