    Hello. Im a Toolmaker and I love working in wood especially carving the font into wood. You have a wonderful inventive mind and you should be congratulated and not dislike. These disliker's are air thieves. Keep inventing

    Holy crap, everytime I think I've learned all I can from Matthias Wandel, I stumble across another obscure video from years ago and there he is, holding a frickin hand plane to a part spinning in a drill press. Just amazing all the little gems of ingenuity hidden in your videos Matthias, thanks

    Since when are things without concave surfaces not 3d? I guess you would call a sphere a 2d object then? And does carving something into a surface not count as concave?

    Hi Matias, Thanks for sharing with us this movie among all of your numerious others ideas and tooling. I 've just aquired the pantograph plans and not only did I enjoyed building it I found it very steady, precise and does what it was planed to do very efficiently as well. I adapted the mounting holes to accomodate an Asaki router which is 65 mm diameter all over top and base. I'm trying now to build 3d ornaments template to decorate furniture parts in my shop.

  • @cynthiaferguson7440

    This is very inventive. We own a sign shop in Southern California and have to send out stuff out to get done....I often day dream of having the ability to do more custom fabrications in-house.

  • @matthiaswandel
    @matthiaswandel  Před 13 lety +2

    Nope, always the same ratio as the magnification.
    But the plywood everything is on has to be flat. If it has a twist, the depth varies from left to right.

  • @matthiaswandel
    @matthiaswandel  Před 11 lety

    That would help, but flattening the bottoms of the letters is hard to do with a pointy bit.
    A think I keep thinking about is wherever the lines meet at a T-intersection (such as a T on p or q), the stylus dives a bit at the intersection, which looks not quite right. So I always manually hold it up to gun straight along the straight line.

  • @kwaaaa
    @kwaaaa Před 11 lety

    in CNC'ing terms, it's called 2.5D (between 2D and 3D) as there is no possibility of overhang and complex contours other than the ones created by the groove changes of the template.

  • @matthiaswandel
    @matthiaswandel  Před 11 lety +1

    For this technique, definitely not. The follower cone rides against the edges of the letters. For my inlay technique (see inlays with the router pantograph), boxboard will do.

I am a disabled, older man, with a fixed income, that has basic tools, looking to create beautiful, and useful things that people will remember me by. You, young man, have given me Ideas and hope. Thank you so much. Maybe ,just maybe with your plans and tutorials, I can take my woodworking skills and be remembered....

  • @paulytwotanks
    @paulytwotanks Před 11 lety

    Your machine and technique for forming these letters is excellent, so please don't get defensive when I point out that you and Kiboz2000 are both right and both wrong! You are spot on when you say you are producing 3D letters, because the cutter you are using is 3 dimensional in shape. I think the point Kiboz was trying to make is that you are producing them using a 2 dimensional pattern. So the 3D shape is 'formed' rather than 'cut'. It's really difficult to explain, but I do see both points.

  • @matthiaswandel
    @matthiaswandel  Před 13 lety

    Both the router and the follower tilt, so the carved shape is still accurate.
    Sure, something more complex could be designed, but you have to ask, is triple the complexity for questionable benefit (and a likely loss in accuracy) desirable?

    NIce system, but throwing a few stepper motors on and make a CNC machine. Unlimited shapes, letters, depth and fast.

  • @TristanJCumpole
    @TristanJCumpole Před 11 lety

    Yes, the shape of the v-groove bit is not ideal in that respect. I didn't think about the problem of crossing lines dropping the styles, however it does make sense as to why this would be a problem. A pre-defined maximum depth of cut on the stylus would allay this to a greater degree but leave pyramids and other little nibs to clean up. You mention that the weight of the router and the mechanism bears on the stylus. Perhaps counterbalancing would be useful here?

  • @cometkite

    My only worry is that the angle of the bit changes as the depth changes, but it probably doesn't make much of a difference at the depths you're working with.

    Matthias, because the pantagraph tips to make deeper letters it creates larger facets on the bottom side of the horizontal strokes of the letters. My first question is, have you measured how much larger it is? If you have not, is it because it's not noticeable?
