CNC Basecamp E021: Art Deco Vase

I used to always think of wood vases as a project to be spun on a lathe, but now I think of a vase as a project to be carved on a CNC machine. The possibilities are endless, and inspiration is just a few clicks away!

Chris, a friend sent me the link to this video. I just purchased a used Shark machine and have been setting it up in my shop. I have done everything you talked about in this video. i have replaceable tables, a drawer to storage and a pendent station for the control box. I was able to tie into my Clear Vue dust system and pull dust from the router and the back of the table. Thank you for reinforcing all my ideas for upgrades. You and I are on the same page. I have subscribed to you channel and look forward to watching additional videos.
As a side comment, I worked for a machine tool builder located in Cincinnati in the early 1970s. A N/C control system was the size of a frig and costs $100, 000. The largest machine we built and shipped was sized as X = 60 feet, Y = 38 feet high and the Z axis was 84" long. I never thought I would own a CNC machine in my shop.

Chris, I have had strange things happen to me also running my homebuilt CNC router. Machine would go crazy. Turned out to be point bounce in the cheap micro switches used for limits when vibrations from heavy cut. Love your show. Carl

I would love to see a variety of dust collection solutions. I made a simple shoe like your's but would also like to improve it. I'd really like one that telescopes up and down so the brush isn't being totally crushed into the work area during deep cuts. Thanks for continuing to produce videos in this series. I always look forward to the latest videos and get a lot of good ideas for projects on my CNC.
