About a week ago we released in association with David Newman, an amazing wooden Bobcat and today, we are releasing the accompanying loader! It’s big, very well built and will be loads of fun for anybody with an interest in big machinery or construction. It’s available right now at WoodMarvels.com under Category / Vehicles / Construction in CNC routing DXF or laser cutting EPS file formats, in addition to PDF plans and physical, on-demand laser cut kits. Lots of other [...]

I completed the conversion of three medieval relics at WooodMarvels.com to DXF format, they are both Mangonel Siege Weapons and Medieval Castle Bank. You can find them easily by going to Theme / Medieval / Relics, the models were not changed other than the new file format being made available.

I’ve completed the update to my Full Armor Gear Bull, the third in a series (Tank is coming-up next). I designed these while sitting next to a river one afternoon. These are among my first models released at WoodMarvels.com, hence the use of dowels. The 3D assembly animation has been updated to HD along with a little more personality around the end. I also released the files in DXF and EPS for the first time but otherwise, the model is [...]

WoodMarvels.com has a number of construction vehicles but a job site isn’t complete without a Bobcat! David Newman designed a wonderful Bobcat and it’s my pleasure to release it. This guy took north of two weeks to render (you can easily guess the part that took so long) but the project is amazing and I wanted to do something extra special for the assembly animation of the Bobcat. It’s available RIGHT NOW in laser cut EPS file format, DXF CNC [...]

I was able to sneak in a few quick renderings of the Mayan Temple Bank while I have some new products queued up and the results are the release of the updated Mayan Temple Bank. This product is among my oldest at WoodMarvels.com so it’s got quite a history. The design hasn’t changed, I just did an update to the animation, fixed a few things and the new resolutions makes everything look great! While I was at it, I also [...]

I did a guest post on David’s onelifenofear.com website about how I got to 500 000 video views and am now growing by over 50 000 a month. You can read it here: How to hit 500 000 Video Views! ————— (for posterity, I’ve included the article I wrote below) A few days ago, I finally hit my goal of 500 00 video views, this article will explain how I did it so you can too! Why make videos in [...]

Funny thing about having rendering queues… no matter how long they are, they all seem to finish at about the same time! This Full Armor Gear Transporter has been on my HD list for a while… I just never really liked the original animation, the timing was off and the rendering had much to be desired. So, I decided to re-render it in full HD, edit the “storyline” of the animation and add a soundtrack to it! The model itself [...]

About two years ago, I got a bunch of things cut and shipped to my parents and nephew for Christmas as their presents. There have been sitting in my computer and finally got around to optimizing the pictures… the Pterodactyl looks the best to me I was abroad at the time (and still am) so I find this is the best way to send things to those I care about. So, as you can see, I’m not just the founder [...]

I’ve always wanted to make an animation of my wooden Pterodactyl model fly… I accomplished this and realized that if I wanted to do more like this, I’d really need to do some serious hardware upgrades! This one just about killed my computer! You can find the WoodMarvels.com Pterodactyl under Theme / Pre-Historic / Dinosaurs in DXF, PDF, EPS and physical laser cut kit. There were no changes made to the model, only the animation was updated. Pterodactyl: 3D Assembly [...]

The 3D assembly animation for the Cantilever Side Table has been updated to 720p HD, the design is still the same and can be found under Category / Office / Table at WoodMarvels.com. I also updated the imagery with a few more renders, at higher resolution as well. I fixed a few timing issues and slowed the animation down a bit.
