- In this bonus video I'm going to assemble and review the Dome Cutter by Shifting Lands. This video is not sponsored by Shifting Lands but since I purchased this item and was about to assemble it I figured why not show you all this jig for the Proxxon.

An interesting vid. I was hoping you would show a Dome, at the end, that you had produced using it. I have considered buying one of these devices but have pondered how to cut a TRUE dome, using it. What I cannot figure out is that out of the templates that the video showed, . the one with the most sides had twelve. Therefore it would not produce a true dome but a twelve sided dome. Or am I missing something? No doubt sanding could be done but that defeats the object of the device. Maybe you could produce another video, showing how you produce a true dome. Please.
Hi Roger. You are right. The dome cutter cut domes but it does not cut perfect round domes in one go. I do however use the dome cutter to cut these domes using the twelve sided template. Cutting the 12 sides of the dome and then cutting the twelve corners of this dome. In this way I end up with a 24 sided dome . The final step is to sand it into a round shape.
@@Shiftinglands Thank you Gerard.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Gerard thanks for the explanation. Following your procedure, and having 24 sides, you will minimise the amount of sanding required. So, taking it a step further, rotating the foam at 10 degrees instead of 15 degrees would produce an even smoother dome. (I wish May 2020 would hurry up!)
FYI, you can get 3" thick XPS from Menards, but I believe you have to special order. Most retail building material stores (Menards, Home Depot, Lowes) only carry 2" in stock. For sure Menards can get 3." That being said, I am a concrete contractor, and through my supplier I can get 4" XPS, and I believe they can also get 6" but this is NOT your typical homeowner store. So yes, they do make XPS thicker than 2" in the US, but you can only get it through construction supply houses.
Good to know, thank you !
Thank you for this video. It made me brave enough to start the build! I must have watched the critical part of it 4 to 5 times at least. And for sure I made a similar error, nevertheless...DOH! For me it were both 5-sided parts as they are the only ones being asymmetrical. And I’ve only seen it after the wood glue was completely dry...
Not reading through the comments here, I searched on wood constructing web sites and got yet another tip for loosening wood glue: As most wood glue is not heat resistant, a simple hair dryer pointing to the seam heated up the hooks on my parts so easily I thought I share this for all who come to your video (being the best assemble video for this shifting lands tool out there). It only took 30-60s to heat up per hook. Even heating up 2 hooks at a time was no big effort.
Thanks again for putting together this great video!
@Gerard: Perhaps adding a note to the manual pointing out especially to the fail-potential of the 5-sided discs would be useful for future customers. ;-)
Excellent tip thank you for sharing that... I know what I'll be doing tonight!!
Excellent video! I have this jig but have put off assembling it because Gerard doesn't have an instruction video on how to assemble it. Soooo, thank you!
You got it Mac! With a little practice you'll love it!
Thanks for this review! Keep up the great content!
Will do. Thanks Jesse.
Close Hanger bent in Half Circle on end of soldering Iron, a Block of Foam on something that twists, Sit the Half circle down on to the block and rotate the block.
You can certainly try that. Cool idea.
Wow this is really intricate
It's not bad at all to put together... a lot of rinse and repeat. A super handy jig to have in your Proxxon arsenal.
You might consider drilling the dowel pins on the templates to a diameter of a toothpick. Placing said toothpick through the axis of the template would give you a small pin that can be placed in the mark from your circular cutting board. No need for measuring to ensure the template is centered.
Thank you very much for this amazing video and if you use Isopropyl Alcohol on the pieces you glued in the wrong direction this can happen to anyone but very well explained how to get the correct directions on the small parts the Jigs are just amazing and really mind blowing and I just can't believe the amount of time and the designs are just out off this world and I just can't believe how easy to put the Jigs together
Thanks for this wonderful video I hope I can make a video with all the Jigs and Templates just life changing for me
Greetings from the South West of Ireland Teady
Right on, I'm glad you enjoyed the video ! :)
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Hi if the Isopropyl did not work just use WD40 Spray oil will move anything in its Path and I am hoping I can get to have a Skype Call with you Please Kind Regards Teady
BNSF Memphis Intermodal Hit me up on Facebook.
Great vid! I'm waiting on my order to arrive. Got several jigs coming in from Shifting Lands. Your review was really helpful.
MRaadesign Awesome, happy to help.
Woodglue fails if heated. you should put it in your oven at medium temp and bake it for a while
Thanks Woody! I'll give it a shot. I'm glad you watched my video :)
Tabletop WitchCRAFT good luck and i really like your crafting style.
@@WoodyHaroo Thanks Woody.
HOW COULD YOU GET THE TEMPLATE
Wenkly henry Aguilar carbonel You lost me bud.
Shiftinglands.com - he placed a link to purchase this in the comments above.
I don't see the Dome Cutter on their website
If it's not on the ShiftingLandsUSA site check Gerards site. They might not have all of the jigs for sale here in the US just yet.
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Who is Gerald? Do you have a link please?
@@owenauer3406 Oh sorry, owner of ShiftingLands. Here's a link: shop.shiftinglands.com/hot-wire-cutter-add-on/84-dome-cutter.html
@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Thanks

I do enjoy your videos, but that is too much of a project for me... I want to craft, not construct. Not for me, but to each their own.
I hear you Mark, and while not for everyone, these jigs really do help produce some awesome creations. You can always use styrofoam balls found at craft stores if this isn't your thing, you just need to manage the texture.
