Hello April, I need a machine that will fit a 3 x 3 sheet of see through plastic that is about 1/8 of an inch thick. Do you have any recommendations?
Really cool vid
10:50…. ?? Beatiful
I’m curious to know how often the CNC machines need maintenance or servicing? How reliable are they?
April you need to consult a manufacturing engineer with knowledge of the Toyota Production System. There appear to be a ton of ways for you to even further improve your operation. And you seem to have great start. You already have a Kaizen mentality.
Wao ? good to see your work mam,
I'm also a cnc programmer and I want set my business like you … But lack of time ,I'm not doing this .. and finally I decided to do my own business like you .. please mam motivate mee ..make my work
We are a manufacture of CNC woodworking machinery , hope we can help you to enlarge your business!
You went from a fun DIY homestead channel to something that looks like a real job / business. Responsibility, yikes.
Awesome!
what vacuum are you running on the shopsabre?
You could make yourself vacuum beds for the other machines on the shop sabre, (Psst, the pro408 can cut a 5×10 sheet, idunno if the is408 is the same but its plenty to make a larger than 4×8 vacuum table) So worth it to eliminate the entire de-tabbing process.
April I purchased a set of your templates for Adirondack swivel high bar stool .But I am not a mind reader I received just the plastic template no instructions at all so the templates are useless to me.I think you should give good direction on how many pieces I need and were the pieces go .Will will give a F for customer care or is this a quick way to make a buck.I like to follow you projects but you need to give good directions please.Thank you !!!
You are amazing how hard you work keep it up ?
April you are sure moving up in the world. I'd give anything to have your new job with Tim Allen.
Nice success story, good luck.
What up with the propane forklift in-doors?
ну, ни че так сиськи!
Bravo ?
I think a cardboard box would be better then a plastic bag! TOO MUCH PLASTIC IS NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT!
Can you make parts for a display cabinet I have designed. And do you have a boyfriend.
Greetings, what school offers CNC and signage as a course?
? WOW
do you cut metal as well or just wood?
nice video, thank u april
Screw a bar across all those hold downs that pivot. If the bar is stiff enough, you would only need a bolt at each end of the hold downs. Same effect, a fraction of the work.
Remember folks….the money isn't in running the machines; it's repairing them that brings the bacon home.
Nice video
CNC Business aap kya yah machine bhejti hai main Pakistan se hun aap translate karle
I've just stumbled across your videos, it's amazing what you've done in 6years, what was your background previously? And how did the evolution of your business happen?
Strangely as a 24year old i retrained as an engineer in the UK and my first job was as a sign fitter where the company used cnc routers and it always made me want to learn it, they wouldnt teach me and soon i left there to be a welder/blacksmith…. well tomorrow i start my first day as a CNC trainee operative leaning about routers, laser and water cutters, 3 and 5 axis mills and even more… i cant wait (and can you believe being a trainee pays more than being a blacksmith) when i was becoming a blacksmith i was putting together a workshop to hopefully start my own things and would hope i can now use my extra money to buy the small router to add to it. Any advice regarding starting out? I would love to get into something to do with metal rather than wood so that it compliments my abilities already but my new job is both wood and metal so i suppose i will be able to learn both and follow the one with more progression opportunity
I have followed you ever since your first video on YouTube. I have subscribed on and off, but always kept an eye at what you've been doing. It was clear from the beginning that you were very ambitious. You are the Lara Croft of wood working… I wish you all the best…
dont ever damage a ball screw on a CNC, those are thousands upon thousands to replace provided you can get one.
do you have the model number of the laser you are using?
It's cool but ya all should wear safety glasses gloves etc
Its a pleasure to see a young person self educating, and becomiing expert at running a "machine shop" that can wotk with sheets of wood and processed material !
First time watching your video. I absolutely loved your video and the information given. I will have to look at others. Thanks so much for useful content.
very cute and informative
Talked about wood machines and tamplates the whole time.
Never actually showed any final product. ?♂️
?????
I worked in a manufacturing facility for several years and to save labor and time you can build a a sled and run your vacum through it with a manual valve, then run a program and while you are managing material (offloading) the program will run and vacuuming the table so when you return the table it is ready for next sheet. For us, we eliminated a lot of idle machine time. And found we increased several cycles / day.
absolutely amazing video and you do a wonderful job of explaining the process very cool
Nice information!!!! ?
