How to use Donek Drag Knife and Fusion 360 to Create Yard Signs

The PTA at my kid's school was looking for a cost-effective way to advertise events. Spelling out things with large yard letters seemed to fit the bill and gave me a great excuse to buy a drag knife for my CNC. Check out the video to see how the project worked out.

Thank you! Are you able to share your custom tool profile that you used?

[@hmatyas1]

I made it through the video, I liked your shirt. I have the same problem with people when I explain things to them

[@MakerAtPlay]

Thanks. I thought the shirt would be a nice touch to the video. :)

Nice work! how do you keep the spindle from rotating during the toolpath?

[@blazegbs]

Set RPM to zero if it’s a Spindle or do not turn on the Router.

[@bostondan77]

I love the green screen 👍

[@MakerAtPlay]

Thanks

An even better brand of paint is Ironlac or Montana. Rustoleum 2x is not bad either.

[@MakerAtPlay]

Thanks for the info.

[@johnhenderson9041]

you have potential. Hopefully you will become more animated (just a bit) so that you aren't as stiff. Maybe limit your image, you don't have to be on screen the whole time. I like your voice better than your face :)

[@MakerAtPlay]

John, thanks for the feedback. It is funny how as soon as the camera turns on, all of my personality turns off. I am working on that. I also agree that my face could handle less screen time. :)
