Inlay carving with a router pantograph

[oxfordmoon]

Matthias, you are a magician with wood, mechanical engineering, mathematics and your videos could not be of better quality. Great work! I hope you reap many rewards!

[PatrickLucasMcDaniel]

im going to make this for my woodshop project, its going to be awsome!

[uunuu1000]

why you just use the scissors ....

[TwBit]

You are AMAZING!

[gravizt]

I don't know why i keep coming back to your videos. I'm not a woodworker, i do not have any sort of skill on the subject, i work with computers, and will never use any of the knowledge gained from your videos. Still i cant stop watching. I am always amazed at the brilliance of your creations. Don't get me wrong, I am not a stupid person, rather the opposite, but what you do is way beyond my power of imagination and problem solving ability, You are an amazing person, and I deeply respect you.

[PushyMonk]

Mathias,

Like Tommyjoe54 said, I truly appreciate all you share so freely. I have learned volumes through your videos.

Regarding the "Inlay carving with a router pantograph" video, now that is another toy I have to put on my "to build" list because I teach T'ai chi ch'uan.

I see Yin-Yang inlays on achievement plaques for students.

All the best times to you and your loved ones this holiday season..

Hey Matt u r really good at what u do. Do u sell that pantograph or just the instructions on how to build it?

[Matthiaswandel]

Just the plans, sorry.

[deaner2122]

nice. i fixed a lazer pointer for my guide...works great!

[supergsx]

Dang you have a lot of clamps.

[stringmanipulator]

Cool, Man I've seen your work on your webpage before and you are a true genius !!!

I'm really impressed by your work and technical skill ..

:)

have a good one

[AndersonBMKS]

is your house made of wood too?

[huandogofwar]

thank you for another great video. maybe you could get rid of flaws around the edges if you use a pointy routerhead along the edges of the hole and the same on the wood you lay in. the latter made just a tiny bit bigger than your sketch.

so that the edges that meet both have corresponding angled edges.

if i´m not clear please ask and i will make you a video on it.

[MrMistery101]

i dont really care about building anything, but i love this guy's voice.

[Fiawoo]

Im envious of your talent. You rock ! thanks for the vid

[slayerguitar]

should have altered the way of the grain. But very good idea!

[fireclan]

awesome as always!! how is your arm/wrist doing?

[xMapple11x]

i love all you creations.

[RichTurtle32]

Nice :-)

[yacrafter]

Great idea.

[rwburdett]

Always enjoy your videos @matthiaswandel - keep it up please (quality and frequency). Many thanks.

[RichTurtle32]

Cool :-)

[prorsoft]

Not an expert or anything, but couldn't you use a thinner router bit for the sharp corner?

[Matthiaswandel]

It would get me further in, but I already used the thinnest available. If I was doing it again, I'd use a bigger bit because it cuts faster. A bit more chiseling, but still time saved over a smaller bit.

[dennys666]

this guy deserves his own video-game or something xD....

[blueskyredkite]

Great video. I really like that you are using tools that you made yourself, that's a *real* machinist - even your own G clamps. I really enjoy your vids, I'm just going to go back through them again and make sure I've missed nothing.

[eversonpe1]

pra que serve isso

?

[senorquax]

Who needs CNC when you have a brain like yours. You never cease to amaze me Matthias!

[MrLeonard55]

What kind of brush is that and have you tried using laquer?

[ToiletMaker]

"So I had to take some persuasive measures."

*takes out mallet*

hehe <3

[36trooper]

You should cut it out and inlay that piece into a 3rd type of wood.

[Matthiaswandel]

Good idea. I should have cut the other half out as well to make two wooden inlays to go into a circular hole. That would add the missing circle around the edge.

[175myles]

@Matthiaswandel, There is another video you could make, I'll watch it and thumbs it up just as fast as I thumbs up all your video's.

[TrentR42]

I feel your inlay should be further set into a third type of wood.

[jasonlajoie]

Those damn window and door stops in the shape of the yin and yang symbol have ruined this shape for me. All I see now are door and window props:(

[IrishKeshiHead]

I wonder if you mike do a wooden bank.

[scarmenl]

Thank you sir. Nice video.

[frosty227]

some "persuasive" measures. -HAMMERHAMMER-

*clears throat* YIN-yang

[AussieN3RF]

are you a wizard? THATS FREAKING AWESOME!!

[Tarko1989]

Santa was Matt's apprentice.

[iVolkswagen]

Too cool. The possibilities with this are endless!! Now you just need is a 3D pantopgraph!

[Matthiaswandel]

read the webpage.  It IS a 3d pantograph.

[iVolkswagen]

@Matthiaswandel My bad, I should have worded that better. I meant "3D", as in like what a 6 or 5 Axis CNC Machine would do.

[EmperorAst]

@Matthiaswandel Not trying to sound "nerdy" but, actually I think it's a 2.5D pantograph since it cannot make a fully 3D object.

That doesn't mean it's 2.5 cool though. :)

[Matthiaswandel]

See my violin scroll carving video.

I have carved other 3d objects with it as well.

[theorganguy]

@Matthiaswandel I think what he is talking about is full 3D... to do so, all you need to do is have your template and the work-piece both on a rotational axis, where you can turn both of them upside down

or any given angle by locking both axles together (maybe a chain, but I'm sure you prefer some wood-gears).

Additionally, if you can make your router tilt, whenever you tilt the "needle" as well, that way you can get into various cavities...

[monacoguitar]

@Matthiaswandel I think what EmperorAst wanted to say by "2.5D" is that you cannot make things with complex undercuts like bent holes. Of course the objects are 3D since they are elongated along 3 axes. But this discussion is over-academical, isn't it!?

[Matthiaswandel]

Look up 2.5D_(machining) on Wikipedia. The violin scroll is definitely out side of the definition of 2.5d.

[jenene84]

i love watching your videos. i don't do much wood work, but your still fun to watch.

[joost070707]

Thats awesome, you are a genius!

[alknis]

Mattias. Well as, the hand has begun to live? Everything is all right? Thanks for video.

[alewisgb]

your great!!! the only thing you could have done better is put a ring around it

[Matthiaswandel]

I experimented with a ring around it in the CAD model, but the ring would have had to be much thinner than the router could cut to look right.

[alewisgb]

@Matthiaswandel thanks for the reply!! yeah I was wondered if it was possible, but i thought you would have thought of it too!

[theCIAguy007]

@Matthiaswandel I saw a previous video of yours (with you carving letters) and couldn't have you used a smaller drill to carve the circle in? Similar to the way you carved the letters in your older video? ^^

[Tjingelitjong]

Danish oil my friend :)

[antinoob6001]

the chuck norris of wood.

[TeenageIronman]

Master woodworker.

[tetlik]

I must say, this pantograph machine is amazing.

[TheTechFish]

You. Are. The. God. Of. Wood. 

[i1still1will]

@TheTechFish yes yes he is

[tomek123kotek]

@TheTechFish Extreame Bad grammar detected. Initialising death in 3, 2, 1...

[therealandycook]

glad to see your back at it,

cheers.

[Matthiaswandel]

Lighter projects for the time being... Thogh I'm keen to build some heavy machines again!

[SimTune]

i thought you were gonna make a big round yingyang and not a half one in to a peace of wood. but you did a good job and with a good result :D

[montycat5]

You should do giveaways of things like this, they're so good and i'd love to have some of the things you make.

[stickerer14]

Pure Inspriation, Danke!

[OverLord3000]

cool
