Enjoy this video? Fantastic! Do me a favour and follow me on Instagram - @dpmakestuff. I do giveaways and you get to see what I'm working on every day. Thank you!
If I layed out 3 spoons in a block and they all were equally spaced in my CAM program..(I use Carveco) Couldnt I set x,y zero say in the bottom left corner of the material block and then machine the first side, flip it when finished, using the same x,y zero? I understand why you use dowel pins. keeping the same precise zero and flipping the block over center..I'm just wondering if you could do it without dowels..I'm dying to try a spoon..have a onefinity and think it would be fun to try. nice video thanks :)
I have like absolutely 0 clue what you're doing until the very end and it's always a very magical experience. I rather enjoy it not being explained, which is weird, but probably good because the videos are easier to produce! Although, you do a LOT of different shots so maybe not.... I'm trying to say I like your videos in a very complicated way.
Great process documentation! Whenever you need a gift idea now the productivity of other projects doesn't have to suffer. Haven't read deep into comments, but I'd imagine other spoon or fort types aren't too far off now.
That's a fantastic job! I love seeing other people expanding the capabilities of their home Cnc machines. I'm in the process of making a similar pin system with t-track for my shapeoko. Considering the odd shape of your blanks (conservation of materials) What location/position did you use for your zero? So far I've limited myself to a squared up piece of stock.
I like the jig. But don't the holes need to be made by CNC as well, so they are exactly on the part axis...? If you make it manually, one side of your spoon will be thinner than the other, unless you are as precise as your CNC. Did you have this issue?
Nicely done Dustin. The work holding was a very elegant design. You can do some pretty amazing work on the xcarve if you spend some time dialing it in.
This is an amazing setup very well done, I found your video because I am wanting make a spoon as well using my Xcarve cnc and i couldn't find a good file to use, what software are you using to run your cnc? I'm still using Easel software.
This is very cool but how do you keep the router lined up? Like how do you determine the zero for each side. In your video it looks like it is way off in the top right off the of the piece.
Awesome project. Get a big chunk of aluminum and make a spoon. I'm disappointed the final shot wasn't of you eating soup with the spoon. Keep killin' it, Dustin.
Hello, was just watching this video and would really really like to know what collets you are using and what collet-nut that is and where you got it from. Just started with CNC and would really like to use my DeWalt but find it impossible to find 1/8 of 1/4 collets. Would really appreciate it. Thank you !! Awesome video.
I am curious about the strategy used to model the 2 sides. I would like to see a video that answers the following questions but would settle for a written explanation. 1. Did you model the spoon in 2 "halves" with completely separate gcode files for each or did you model the complete spoon, then virtually cut it with a plane to create to separate objects or what? 2, What would your strategy be if you were making something symmetrical in the horizontal plane rather than the vertical plane like your spoon? Would you model only half of the object and then mirror it to create the other side? 3. How would you plan your reference points so that they ended up lining up perfectly? Did you somehow define the center line through the reference pins of your jig as your reference? The project I have in mind is a sailboat rudder with a NACA 0012 foil shape. My background is in 3d Printing and I use FreeCad for my modeling.
Hey man, great video!!! I’m looking to get more use out of my x-carve. Would you be able to tell me how you program for 3D milling? I can only reliably do 2d.
Quick question, did you have to disable the SawStop mechanism when cutting the Aluminum? Or was it sufficiently different from flesh conductivity to not trigger it?
Another diamond squeezes its way out of the deeeep dark pits of the youtube algorithm to show me something I actually did want to see. Sweet video, I'm going to try that with my machine...
Nice! I think that the community is really expanding the boundaries of the Inventables X-Carve. Adding the jig there in the center of the worktop is smart. What was that BIG BLOCK of plastic that you used for the jig? Where can I get some? I see possibilities (or maybe I need coffee).
Cool idea for making spoons! My favorite part was actually you making new handles for the clamps. That was a "Duh" moment for me. Needless to say, I will be making my own from now on.
houseoffire72 I highly recommend the X-Carve. Amazing machine, amazing company and tons of support if you run into any trouble. Links in the description of you want to check them out.
All machines and software is different. If you can figure out how to model a spoon, you’ll know how to sort out your gcode. I know that’s a crappy answer, but it’s the truth.
Nice. Cool first project on the upgraded XCarve. I really enjoyed the processes it took to build the jigs and then making of spoons. I hope I can win one, thanx for the awesome vid. Great job! #cantstopwontstop

Batman has great toys! One man helps feed the world! Very inspirational video. Thanks.
You make me com.... you make me complete... you make me completely happy. I love this project. Great work.
An excellently thought out solution to an awkward problem. Will be using this, thanks for posting!
A minute in and I had to quickly click the subscribe button. Excellent tutorial!!! Guys you MUST watch all the way to the end (very funny).
It's good to see somebody else squaring everything. Great video. Cheers.

Nice job Dustin I liked the way you improvised in the old framing hats off to you. Neat job all in.
Cool video, when I think cnc I don't immediately think about spoons but it just goes to show how versatile a tool it is in the right hands.
great video, great work... last part is the best, hand carving while the machine is running :D... I completely understand
Clean and neat workshop
I love the reuse of the replaced parts. Great idea for the fixtures to hold the blanks!
Those are some really nice spoons! Outstanding!!!
Great process documentation! Whenever you need a gift idea now the productivity of other projects doesn't have to suffer. Haven't read deep into comments, but I'd imagine other spoon or fort types aren't too far off now.
Hi Dustin - this is brilliant!!! I'd love to try to make one of these spoons - would you be willing to share your CAM file? Thanks!
The clamping system and how you set up was top notch. Always enjoy seeing a DP video❤️
bloody dope man. kudos. great idea for the jig
Spoontacular!!!! Can I say my favorite part was the custom hold down?!?!
I like the use of the makerslide. I have some spares sitting around I may be able to use this idea. Thanks. Everybody wants spoons. Don't they?
Amazing idea, thanks

hahahahah the last scene made my day :D
great work as usual!
Very nice jig. I was actually looking into a CNC to batch out spoons as one my biggest time savers.
Good editing style.
Fast at the tedious bits.
Slow when it's important.
Sound level control for the machine noise is at a good level.
👍
Haha, last seconds of the video!!! Very cool project!!
A rare sighting, the Metric Diresta does exist! Excellent work, absolutely genius
Long back bro good work
I’ve asked Jimmy and he has given his blessing to me using this title. Thanks!
You have definitely earned it!
They turned out great! Love how the beeswax finish looks.
Wow. Came for the spoons, stayed for the CNC. I'm going to ask for one of these for Christmas.
And just when I was about to go power through some of your classics, I am greeted with this wonderful surprise!!!
Very clever... and nice result !
Awesome idea. I was thinking you were going to implement a servo or something to rotate the piece. WAY simpler the way you did it. Love it!
Some sort of lathe attachment would be really cool, but there just isn't enough room on the x carve for that without some serious mods.
That is such a good idea and cannot wait to try this
I like the jig. But don't the holes need to be made by CNC as well, so they are exactly on the part axis...? If you make it manually, one side of your spoon will be thinner than the other, unless you are as precise as your CNC. Did you have this issue?
Now that’s a class act!👍🏻 Another awesome job Dustin! 👏👏 Thanks for sharing!

Get a big chunk of aluminum and make a spoon.
I'm disappointed the final shot wasn't of you eating soup with the spoon.
Keep killin' it, Dustin.
great idea and execution!
Great Scott! That is awesome!
One of the best videos I have ever seen.... An inspiration for makers
Awesome jig and great video!
Cool jig!
thumbs up for the tap drill charts I have as my desktop back grounds.
Nicely done. Just curious, why didn't you rough it with a larger bit before a finishing pass?
Dustin! I'm glad to know that you're alive!
Me too! Thanks.
awesome jig and great vid man!!!
The CBC upgrade is amazing and the spoons they look stunning!
Beautiful!!!!
These are really nice! How long do you think one took to machine on your X-Carve?
Hello, was just watching this video and would really really like to know what collets you are using and what collet-nut that is and where you got it from.

Nice video. Love the spoons.
Do you know the name of the song being played at the end?

Nice work Canuck! Love the index jig. I carved a big sauna ladle by hand, I'm going to try one on my CNC over the winter.
I drew it it Rhino already.
Mad Genius you are!!!!
Definitely was digging the background music @ 8:32 !
Quick question, did you have to disable the SawStop mechanism when cutting the Aluminum? Or was it sufficiently different from flesh conductivity to not trigger it?
SimkinC42 bypass mode!
Cool trick with hot melting the nut into the knob!
Is the file for the spoon available? Thanks... I enjoyed the video!
How did you line up your X(?)-axis zero point with your jig?
Another Great Video.
Another diamond squeezes its way out of the deeeep dark pits of the youtube algorithm to show me something I actually did want to see. Sweet video, I'm going to try that with my machine...
Brilliant idea!!! I'm definitely copying it!!!
Nicely done Dustin...
OMG! So jealous of your tools!
Nice! I think that the community is really expanding the boundaries of the Inventables X-Carve. Adding the jig there in the center of the worktop is smart. What was that BIG BLOCK of plastic that you used for the jig? Where can I get some? I see possibilities (or maybe I need coffee).
Fantastic! AvE would be proud!
Whats the black plastic material you used and where did you get it.
Cool idea for making spoons! My favorite part was actually you making new handles for the clamps. That was a "Duh" moment for me. Needless to say, I will be making my own from now on.
Very nice. Love the spoon. What did you use to design the spoons and create the gcode?
Great project
do you have a video on how you got the machine to cut the curvature of the spoon or could you point me in the direction of one
They really came out great!
awesome, very well executed! nicely done 🤓👍
Dude, that clamping system is top notch! Gonna have to “borrow” that idea!
Outstanding project young man, so enjoyed the meld of mind and machine.
Andys.wood here showing my appreciation for your talent and amazing ideas. Also adding another entry to your giveaway aside from instagram
Love your workshop, what is the last CNC tool you use to make the spoon so smooth?
Ingenious !
How did you not trigger the Saw-Stop since you were holding the aluminum you were cutting?
I turned on the bypass mode.
I need a cnc router asap... What do you suggest? Something thats easy to learn and dont have to be online to run software...
houseoffire72 I highly recommend the X-Carve. Amazing machine, amazing company and tons of support if you run into any trouble. Links in the description of you want to check them out.
@@dpmakestuff appreciate it thanks
Do you need 2 files to make this? (The back and the fornt)
Pretty cool :)
What kind of collet are you using with your router? and where did you get it? thx
Great work.
SICK !! :O well done !
Great idea. which Software did you use to design it? Kind Regards, X-Carve Rookie Jan
Should do a video where you show how to make the G code file for the cnc to cut out the spoon
All machines and software is different. If you can figure out how to model a spoon, you’ll know how to sort out your gcode. I know that’s a crappy answer, but it’s the truth.
Now that was some good viewing right there
Love it!
Very cool! I just got my machine. It's still in the box. I can't wait to learn new things!
Smart ideas
You should do a shop tour
little off topic, where di you get that clamp, or what is it called.
Nice. Cool first project on the upgraded XCarve. I really enjoyed the processes it took to build the jigs and then making of spoons. I hope I can win one, thanx for the awesome vid. Great job! #cantstopwontstop
How did you model such nice spoons in Fusion 360? Did you use sculpt?
