Is CNC Woodworking REAL Woodworking?

CNC routers have become more available and more affordable over the past few years. This has led to a lot of debate about whether the use of a CNC router is real woodworking, or if the use of a CNC router is somehow different or less worthy of the “Real Woodworking” title. To even begin […]

Make a Party Serving Tray: Hand Tools vs. CNC

I get a lot of comments in my YouTube and blog that I can make anything because I use a CNC machine. Everything from “CNC is cheating” or “CNC isn’t real woodworking” to “making that by hand too hard for you?” or “those who can hand tool, those who can’t CNC.” Seriously. I’ve gotten it […]

Upgrading the X-Carve to the DeWalt 611 (DWP611)

It’s very obvious that CNC (computer numerical control) machines are going to change the landscape of woodworking and home workshops in a big way.  Some people are going to think this is for the worse, some will think for the better.  The truth is that times change and technology continues to transform the landscape of […]

How to Make Pac-Man Wall Art

Pac-Man is the legend in arcades.  One of the very first video games to rock the arcade sphere.  Pac-Man is an icon.  As a kid I played Pac-Man like crazy.  I watched the Pac-Man cartoon on Saturday morning TV, and yes: I had a Pac-Man poster on my wall as a kid.  Does that count as […]

BLOG: Setting up the X-Carve from Inventables

This week I’ve spent the evenings setting up the X-Carve from Inventables.  “What the heck is an X-Carve?” It’s a CNC machine.  “What the heck is a CNC machine?” CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control.  But that probably doesn’t help much either.  If you’ve ever used a woodworking router you know it can cut and […]
