Yep, Santa and his Reindeer have made another trip to WoodMarvels.com, this time in the form of a CNC project! You can find this new CNC project under Collaborations / AskJerry in PDF, DXF, AI and PartWorks file formats. This was a fun project to update from Jerry’s design to be CNC’able as all the smooth curves really looked cool being cut out by the ShopBot Desktop… it’s amazing seeing a 130 pound machine move so gracefully as it’s cutting [...]
You may not have known much about Evright, an Australian-based retailer featuring trophies, plaques and medallions but in a few months, that will change quite dramatically – they cut and assembled my Electronic’s Trophy not out of wood, but black acrylic… looks amazing! Here’s a picture! Below you can see the animations which I produced showing the how the model would have looked like in wood and all the various pieces required to put it together. I really am anxious [...]
I’ve always enjoyed the majestic grace of elephants, they seem to know who they are and don’t seem to care what other animals do around them. They are very proud and strong, and now you can get your very own CNC equivalent! You can find this now at WoodMarvels.com in PartWorks/DXF and PDF file formats right now. It’s made-up of 24 pieces with dimensions @ 6mm of L: 22cm, W: 12cm, H: 16.5cm cut on one 500mm x 400mm sheet [...]
Dirk designed this wonderful tray for laser and it was on the top of my list to try to convert to CNC… and now you can buy it as well at WoodMarvels.com under Collaborations / Dirk (or ShopBot Tools) for your very own workshop. This CNC project is 14 pieces in total and if you are using 6mm thick material,19cm square with a height of 6cm. The joints are pretty tight so you probably don’t even need glue either if [...]
New day… new CNC router project launch! When I first got my ShopBot Desktop, I decided to focus on the simpler laser models, if there were issues, it’s easier to solve when you don’t have too many interlocking parts. This project came out great from the first cut so you can get it now too, it’s the Future Car B CNC. You can find this CNC model in DXF/PartWorks and PDF formats at WoodMarvels.com under Collaborations / ShopBot Tools. It’s [...]
The Pen and Pencil Holder B is a quick project that features a hidden guide system for easy assembly. Just slide one piece after the other, use clamps to hold things tight while the glue dried and you are done! You can get the files right now at WoodMarvels.com under Collaborations / ShopBot Tools in DXF/Partworks and PDF formats. Completed 19 piece model dimensions @ 6mm L: 13cm, W: 7cm, H: 9cm cut on one 500mm x 400mm sheet of [...]
Now that my computer is back up and running, I’m able to release a backlog of projects! The Parasaurolophus CNC is a CNC router optimized, upscaled version of the laser version available on WoodMarvels.com. The original Parasaurolophus was my 37th laser model, and now my 8th CNC… things have changed a lot since then but this model is even stronger than the original! If you have a ShopBot or any other CNC router, you really want to give this easy [...]
I got some great looking pictures of the CNC version of the WoodMarvels.com Ford Model T. Richard did a great job assembling this model, looks great!
I’ve spent the past week and a half redesigning (laser to CNC isn’t as straight forward as I thought it would be) and cutting and assembling model after model thanks to my handy ShopBot Desktop machine and just in time… the weather has gone from cool to just cold up here in Canada! The CNC projects are coming along nicely – hoping to have a stream of them released within the coming days… but here is the largest CNC project [...]
David Newman has released another model on WoodMarvels.com, this time, a great looking Fire Truck! This file is available right now in DXF, EPS, PDF as well as physical laser cut kit.

David Newman has now launched another project on WoodMarvels.com – this time a very ornate and elegant Table Number Stand which looks great for weddings (original purpose) as well as unique dinners. If you look at this model closely, you can also see a little guy… the middle piece is held in place using fishing line. You can find this great looking model under Collaborations / David Newman in Adobe Illustrator, EPS and DXF format. As an aside, this is [...]
David Newman, a designer here at WoodMarvels.com has now released his Reindeer and Ornate Sleigh laser cutting project.

There was a thread about this on ShopBot and through it was so cool I’d share it here, you can view the video below.

I’ve completed an update to the Sydney Harbor Bridge, with the span having better tolerances to prevent cracking and a few very minor alterations. I’ve also decided to include the Adobe Illustrator file so before, you had to purchase DXF and EPS files separately, now you get them all included along with the AI file at the same cost as before. From my experiences with my ShopBot Desktop, I’ve come to realize CNC’ing a laser file is a tremendous amount [...]

Single Stepped Stand: 3D Assembly Animation (720HD)
As I embark on more difficult CNC models with interlocking parts, the toughest part about transitioning a design that was meant for laser into one meant for native CNC cutting is realizing the following key facts. Each cut with a CNC weakens the board Unlike laser where there is no resistance, you have a spinning router bit going thousands of revolutions a minute, ripping and pushing through wood. When I first started cutting with my ShopBot Desktop, I’d put in [...]
Considering the first two weeks of the New Year were a write-off due to my fried laptop fan (meaning I had no computer till it was fixed), I still got quite a bit done! Overall, WoodMarvels.com grew very well in 2011. January 2012 Happenings! I was interviewed for an Indonesian laser crafting blog and Fab Lab Tulsa also added WoodMarvels.com as a resource. I released a bunch of new CNC projects, all found under Collaborations / ShopBot Tools (CNC) such [...]
With the laser end of WoodMarvels.com, for the past 3 years, I’ve been fine offering DXF and EPS file formats for machines the world over but with CNC, things are a little more complicated so I’ve added to the file formats of DXF and PartWorks zip files the new formats of Adobe Illustrator and EPS which should over all the CNC bases. You now get twice the number of files for the same price! If you already bought a CNC [...]
