Amazing work, thank you so much sharing this video and your knowledge. I am the designer of this model and it helped me a lot about producing :) And special thanks to sharing my instagram page and shop page!
In addition to looking absolutely beautiful, this could also effectively act as an acoustic diffuser and absorber, with some changes. Changes to the design that are room-specific would enable it to be "tuned" to scatter energy that is problematic within the room. Additionally, if you added a material with a high noise reduction coefficient behind the wood, like Owens Corning 703/705 fiberglass, you could even get broadband absorption (sound deadening) out of it as well. So this actually has the potential to be a badass 3-in-1 diffuser, absorber, and wall art. Thanks for sharing. It came out beautifully!
I love how you show the different uses for the CNC machine I too just acquired the CNC machine and have been looking for ideas to utilize it to enhance my business!! Thank you!!
The wall art is amazing but what I saw you do with the Domino 500 was equally impressive. Learned a few things on how versatile the tool can be with a little ingenuity.
I’m curious, it seems like instead of a jig for the equally spaced domino holes, an endmill could have done that in your CNC too. Is there something I’m missing?
Hmmmmm...🤔 The holes are drilled into the back side, which means the wavy front side would be on the CNC bed/table -- not sure how you'd keep each piece aligned and level for end milling.
@@BigHackAttack Les perçages de type "Domino" auraient été très facilement réalisable à la CNC, au moins en ce qui concerne les traverses plates ! Cela aurait fait économiser beaucoup de temps, et évité des risques de pertes de précision.
Thanks, I was genuinely interested how these were made, and just as most things with woodworking, when you break it down it is simple. Fantastic vid and good instructions. If I win the lottery I would love to get the tools needed, but I am going to try my own smaller version with my basics, see how it fares. You gave me lots of ideas though, so thank you.
great job!!! 2 questions: 1. Could you not - at least in theory - have CNC'd all the mortises on the mounting strip to save yourself all the time of making a jig and doing it manually? 2. This is a beautiful piece, but like anything made of plywood - the final result is cheapened by the visible plys. Would an edge banding machine be able to handle this type of contour?
This is beautiful to me. I feel the need to comment with a different perspective though. I’m an artist and I’ve been shocked at how fast AI image generation has developed. It’s already been overused so much that people have become tired of AI imagery. I’m worried the same thing will soon happen in woodworking as digital tools are increasingly used. This piece was created using digital technology and it’s striking because it would be hard to make by hand - it can be done by hand but what would be the point? Decades ago I used a jig saw and rasp and made topographic layered models, but today would use CNC and a laser cutter for better results. I really do worry though that it’s possible some types of CNC woodwork will unfortunately become cliches, like much of the AI images being created today.
I think at the end of the day, people will still appreciate the final product. All the new software and hardware are just tools, and people implementing these tools to make this art still appreciates. Also, makes art more accessible to other people that couldn't normally afford a 10k USD work of art.
Huh? What would be the point of making this by hand? Ummm, maybe the savings of thousands and thousands of dollars worth of wood working equipment, and instead having the therapeutic enjoyment of woodworking with your hands! But, that's just me....
I too have an XCP. I am surprised you didn’t use it for the hanging strips. I use my 5mm domino cutter in an 8mm collet to machine domino holes on my XCP. I also use the 5mm bit from the sys32 kit in my concert for drilling shelf pins. Great video and awesome quality work.
I would get the client to record the words " I love you" and save it as a waveform, Do the same for the partner for the other axis You have a unique record and a story for life - Very valuable
Man, that is a REALLY cool piece. I like it a lot. I think the only thing I might have done differently would be to paint the mounting strips black so they wouldn't be as visible. Or perhaps the wall's color? I'm eyeing an empty spot on my wall right now, believe me!
I rather liked the broader sides of the piece. Based on what I think, your assumptions about the distribution of the underlying population from what I assume, to be the extrapolation of the overall sample, approximating the normal distribution. Audaciously done!
Dude. If you make one that covers a whole wall and put a mirror behind it, some good lighting and hide the supporting beams. that would bring a room to a whole new level. Make it look like a dividing wall and make the room look so much bigger.
Beautiful piece and excellent video. I have a question and understand I'm not being critical, just curious. I'm just starting out in the CNC world. Why did you do the mounting strip with all those domino cuts by hand instead of creating a simple CNC process and using the xcarve? Also, if your tabs are short, couldn't you do a round over pass on at least one side of the parts? I get that this requires a tool change but with that many parts would it save time?
You are right. I could have done it that way. I like making jigs so it was an excuse to make that sliding jig, but you could definitely cut those on the CNC.Thanks for watching!
ppl might want to try out geogebra or desmos for creating their parametric surfaces. All you need is to step in discrete steps (say 24) over one of the three axis and generate some function f(x) which describe the height of the cut. If you want to save wood, you can add symmetries to the piece (it doesn't have to be a mirror image that runs straight through the middle, there are many symmetry axis you can choose)
Even though you purchased this design, I'd love to see your process for designing it yourself on sketchup (or something similar). I wasn't aware you were able to do what you did in the beginning of the video on sketchup. This came out awesome by the way! I may try and make something like this on my normal xcarve.
How would you get it off the wall? Great tip on the domino jig! Why not use a french cleat though? Seems like it's permanently affixed to the wall now since the pieces are glued on.
The screws that hold the mounting strips to the wall are in between the slats so that the entire piece can be removed. I considered trying to incorporate a French cleat type hanger but ended up deciding against it. Thanks a lot for checking out the video!
On this particular install, if a client ever wanted to take this down, is there clearance to use a long bit to reach back to the screws that secure this to the wall?
I’m not sure about that. I don’t have any experience with CO2 machines. I suppose if it could cut through the plywood and the working area was large enough it could work.
I thought about doing that. It would have been easy enough to set up a jig and just swap the pieces out. I thought the domino would be faster but looking back maybe not. Next time for sure. Thanks for watching!
Do you ever get chipping with Baltic birch? I just got a cnc and am trying to make parametric designs like this. I keep getting a lot of chipping, what bit are you using? Feeds and speeds? Thank you for the video
This looks amazing. I would do something different to hide the mounting strips. Maybe have a full sheet of plywood cut down to 1/4” or something to mount it to, notch that for wall mounting. Maybe even have that painted black or something as to not distract. I like the theme though of using this tool for a business. Thanks for all the info
Amazing work, but can you share what extensions in Sketch Up you used? I know they are paid, but they are difficult to find without knowing their names in the warehouse
@@LastLegWoodworks you make it look super simple! Thanks for sharing your work! May I ask, so the first extension I'm guessing was the curviloft one, and then the one that slices into sheets is a slicer.. How bout the one that converts the curved lines and creates the contoured face?
Really beautiful design! What I am curious about is, is it still possible to remove the whole piece off the wall after you've glued all the pieces to the mount on the wall?
What about Printing the design onto a big sheet of Paper, glue it to the Plywood and cut it out with a jigsaw/circular saw? Is ist that much more work? With this artpiece you might have a tolerance of about 1-2mm.
@@LastLegWoodworks At 2:46, your machine is cutting making the cuts straight down, perpendicular to the plywood. I'm asking if you could have made those cuts parallel to the surface you were trying to form.
I'm so sorry, I don't understand, The CNC bit can only cut perpendicular to the work material. Do you mean having the bit in some orientation other than plumb? Or changing the orientation of the work?
@@LastLegWoodworks Yes, I was asking if you could cut the plywood not straight down, not plumb, but at an angle parallel to that part of the intended parametric surface. From your answer, it sounds like you'd need a multi-axis CNC to do what I was thinking about.
its great video mate thanks for sharing but I have question, how did you install the first and the last panel without showing the opening on the corners? I really hope you answer my question lol
Thanks! The first and last slats didn't have the notch cut into them and they didn't fit over the mounting strip. They were morticed on their sides and connected to the side of the mounting strip creating a clean view from the end of the panel. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!.
Love the art, the Domino jigs and the fact that you respond to the comments! Hm, I wonder if it would be cool to put some LED lighting in that piece. Or maybe that’s overdoing it?

For most of us - it is going to be looong hand tool project with lot of sanding, cutting, precise sanding 😁
Do you know where I could get templates for something like this? To be marked and cut out with power tools?
Here is the Etsy store where this design was purchased. Thanks for watching! www.etsy.com/shop/ParametricArtWood

What a perfection in the job. The slices which were slided in, so precise and perfect.

How did you change the format from a sketch up program to a victor?
Hello! Thanks for a great video, why not cut the mortice holes in the mounting strip with the CNC machine?

My question this have a measurment in acoustics difussion> it will be effective?
Interesting question. I don't really know.
@@LastLegWoodworks I Started a wall for my home studio it does have acoustics properties..
Absolutely gorgeous. Could this be cut on a C02 laser at all?
I’m not sure about that. I don’t have any experience with CO2 machines. I suppose if it could cut through the plywood and the working area was large enough it could work.
I think that some well positioned led strips will enhance it even more… yes, I know I’m 2 years later but I just discovered it :).
Great job, btw!!
At 0.31 seconds into the video what did you use in sketchup to lay out all the parts flat and they turned green?
That was a plug-in called Slicer, but I didn’t end up using that design. Thanks for watching!
which software you use for design?
Was there a reason you didn’t cut the mortises for the mounting strip on the xcarve? Rather than plunge all of those with the domino?
I thought about doing that. It would have been easy enough to set up a jig and just swap the pieces out. I thought the domino would be faster but looking back maybe not. Next time for sure. Thanks for watching!
Do you ever get chipping with Baltic birch? I just got a cnc and am trying to make parametric designs like this. I keep getting a lot of chipping, what bit are you using? Feeds and speeds? Thank you for the video
I’ll take a look and get the feed and speed. I believe I used a straight flute bit. A down cut bit can help with tear-out on plywood.
This looks amazing. I would do something different to hide the mounting strips. Maybe have a full sheet of plywood cut down to 1/4” or something to mount it to, notch that for wall mounting. Maybe even have that painted black or something as to not distract. I like the theme though of using this tool for a business. Thanks for all the info
Yes, those are good ideas. Being able to see the strips is the one thing that bothers me about this piece.

Amazing work, but can you share what extensions in Sketch Up you used? I know they are paid, but they are difficult to find without knowing their names in the warehouse
hellow it's a "slicer" free extension.

@@LastLegWoodworks you make it look super simple! Thanks for sharing your work! May I ask, so the first extension I'm guessing was the curviloft one, and then the one that slices into sheets is a slicer.. How bout the one that converts the curved lines and creates the contoured face?
May I know what sketchup extensions where used for making this?
The extensions I used were not the ones in the final design. I used one called curvealoft, and one called slicer.
Really beautiful design! What I am curious about is, is it still possible to remove the whole piece off the wall after you've glued all the pieces to the mount on the wall?
was wondering the same thing
If you didn't want to have any screw holes visible from the front side you could use a French Cleat system secure it to the wall.
Yes you can
Yes, the mounting screws are between the slats so the entire piece can be removed at once.
Great job! But....maybe I overheard or overlooked but nowhere do I notice what thickness of plywood did you used for this project?
This is 3/4 inch Baltic birch. I think its actually 18mm thick. Thanks for watching!
What about Printing the design onto a big sheet of Paper, glue it to the Plywood and cut it out with a jigsaw/circular saw? Is ist that much more work? With this artpiece you might have a tolerance of about 1-2mm.
Was it painted with oil or something special? Can you be more specific?
