Was it good

Yessir! You can import any skp file into v-carve or aspire

@@legacycnc8232 GOD BLESS AMERICA! ... ok, that was uncalled for, but I did not know that.

Thanks! I should have slowed down the RPM on the router bit by about 10% and that noise would be a lot less than it was, but I figured I should show it as is small mistakes and all.

That router bit is Magnate 6105. Notice how we first used a 0.25 inch bit to clear out the hole before running the T-slot cutter. While you do not have to do that, we have found that it makes the dust clear easier.

Honestly I think it was just personal preference decision made by the operator. Yes we are using a straight bit for the cutout.

@@legacycnc8232 Interesting... Is there a reason you guys use straight flutes for milling as opposed to spiral flute?

Well, it is what I had on hand and it did the job flawlessly, so I chalked it up as a win.

you are right! That was actually one of the reasons for making this project. Andy has a huge library of woodworking books, with an emphasis in boat building... that is on his bucket list. Building a sailboat. Watch for that in an upcoming video :)

great question, it is an iso-lock joint. we will be going over that joint in greater detail in the third video. That joint is super stable and takes all the wiggle side to side out of it.

It can be done a lot of ways. it will be different with each different software. What software are you using?

@@legacycnc8232 Vcarve pro 12

Thank you! Tracy designed it and Chris built it. They are quite the Duo!

Great question! On this particular barstool you can do everything except the dished seat in V-Carve Pro. However I am sure you could find some STL files of a seat that could be brought into V-Carve Pro and used in place of the one we modeled. Just remember to put the hole on the other side so that it will attach to the stool!

Thanks, I have always wanted to make one since I originally seen the piano stool made on the Arty or Gemini. Just have to buy the long shanked 90 degree bit I think it was.

I am not sure I understand your question. What is a detail with toolpaths? Can you explain it more for me?

John seconds that!

We will be doing a workshop here at the factory for those that would like to come out and learn how to make the barstool. There will be a limited number of seats available. If you would like to get on the list you can give us a call or email me - john@legacywoodworking.com

yep, woodworking by the numbers

thanks! sometimes it is better to show it real time as long as it can hold the viewers attention.

It happens for sure! We thought that it was important to show the mistake and in our new video we show how we saved the wood and overcame the problem. Thanks for commenting!

Right! I died! I forgot to flip the blank over but I thought it was important to show failures as well as successes in the video!

That is a great question, and you are right, this can be a complicated project due to the need to be perfectly accurate. If I were building this by trying to cut or sand to a pencil line then we would almost always fail. As you said, when it come to threads if you are of by a little you are off by a lot. Tape measures are just not accurate enough. Making parts with the Maverick CNC allows you to start by drawing perfect parts, then cut perfect parts, and finally assemble perfect parts. Doing these three things allows the woodworker to make projects that would otherwise be outside of his/her ability. We have started holding live classes here at our factory in Springville Utah, we will be doing this project in November and December. You do not need to be a CNC owner to experience the precision of CNC. If you would like to make one of these stools, give us a call and get signed up today! 800-279-4570.

@@legacycnc8232 thanks for your reply. I didn't get the kind of answer I was hoping for. I guess it's all worked out on the computer somehow. If the nuts are fastened to the legs at a fixed distance from each other then I guess that is part of the calculation for where around the inside of the nut the thread cutter starts it's journey. Perhaps you could cover the details of this calculation but you probably made these vids a while ago. 4 threads per inch matches up well with the option of 4 possible positions that the 2nd nut could be rotated around to before being fastened to the legs. That's a marvelous machine you've created. looking forward to more vids on this.

Yessir! after each part is finished we can create a video that goes through the entire stool. It will likely be a 20 min video. That is possibly too long for a lot of people to watch all the way through, but we will experiment with it to see if we should keep doing that.

Magnate bit 751. Aspire does have something that kinda works. let me see what I can find for ya with that!

You should! it will be amazing!

Drop me an email. John@legacywoodworking.com

Love that!

We will be making 2 nuts in the next video.

I have always been fascinated about this chair and wanted to make it on my Blue Elephant 4th axis machine with a Centroid Acorn controller. I often wondered if CCAM could be set up to run on my machine? As always excellent work and exciting to watch.

Yes, absolutely

The new x axis vertical clamps. They are available on the Maverick 4x4 and 4x8

Total time on machine was about 90 mins. Cutting panels, dry fit and assembly was another 90 mins.

thanks!

We agree!

This is amazing. Excellent work Legacy.

Yessir!

Give us a call and you will get $10.00 off a set!

Glad you enjoyed it!
