This is part 2 of a video series where I design a Christmas ornament in vCarve and then demonstrate how to take that design and be able to produce the ornament using a CNC router, a Laser Machine, or print it on a 3D printer. In this video I demonstrate how to make the ornament on a CNC router using the vCarve template file we produced in the first video. if you haven’t seen the first video it is strongly recommended you watch that video first. That video can be seen at the link below: • How to Use vCarve to Design Ornaments… The series of videos along with other holiday video ideas will be listed in…
In this video, I will dive into my process for creating holiday ornaments that once designed can be cut on a CNC router, with a Laser Machine, or printed on a 3D printer. This is the first in a series of videos that I will provide. These will be listed in the Playlist: • Holiday Ideas This video focuses on the designing of the ornaments and exporting the designs in formats that will allow the design to be imported into Lightburn Software, Fusion 360, Tinkercad and other software that can create STLs for 3D printing. The follow-up videos will go through the process of cutting the design on the CNC, cutting the…
I will share some thoughts on how I make ornaments – CNC – Laser – 3D printing. If time works out will show Vectric, Lightburn, and Fusion and how I use each of these. It will be just how I do it with some initial fundamental thoughts.
This is the first shop tour from a recent 4 week road trip where I visited various shops in the Western United Steps. Ryan Drapela took a couple hours and spent time sharing the large equipment and how he thinks about the process steps e sets up to operate his business.

There were multiple technical challenges with the streaming for this live session. In this live session we discussed my experiences with creating and making a slab sign for a hotel and I provided insights on lessons learned and possible things I would do different. We also shared Brooks Martin’s video on how to apply materials to allow previews of vCarve Inlays to clients. It requires Aspire software and he went thorugh how this can be done. Brooks video can be seen at: • Adding Bitmap textures to the 3D view… Lastly I shared a couple wways that I am using AI software for my Maker projects. Due to time we did not go into any detail at…
