Starting From a Scratch - 2024 Shop Update Winston Moy 2024-01-18 | Hello guys, it's been awhile. In case you've been wondering where I've been, the TLDR is: I bought a house, my free time evaporated, I got married, and I’m struggling to rebuild my shop. The longer version of all that is 2023's been quite busy for me, between various maker-related trips and planning out my dream one-car garage (which does sound a bit like an oxymoron). This is everything I've been up to since my last video. Note: Because moving into a house is stressful, some of my garage improvements aren't well documented. So there will be numerous pictures of my dogs.3D Printed Wall Control Tool Holder Examples: winstonmakes.com/shop/p/wall-control-tool-holdersAlso, shoutout to FabWorks for hooking me up with some laser cut parts for my Wall Control Organizers.

Machining Drink Coasters on a $100,000 CNC Winston Moy 2023-03-16 | Today we're taking a look at what it's like to use a CNC machine that's way outside my budget, the Datron Neo. This is a CNC that many (myself included) have drooled over in social media posts for it's seemingly effortless machining of aluminum, blistering speed, and crazy precision. But does it live up to the hype? Is the magical vacuum workholding system as effective as it's made out to be? Let's find out...Disclaimer: The following video contains observations of a single, lowly, professional hobby machinist with a limited set of experiences (I have no formal training in machining).

Things I Learned Outsourcing My Parts (feat. @XometryHQ ) Winston Moy 2021-12-18 | For years now, I've had ideas to create a series of workholding accessories for the PocketNC. The problem was always my free time, or lack thereof. When Xometry reached out to me about collaborating on a project, I knew this would be the perfect way to kick-start the WWU - Winston Workholding Universe. Xometry is an on-demand manufacturing service offers a wide range of capabilities with nearly instant quoting via an advanced, AI-driven pricing engine. For this project, they would handle getting my parts made, while I focused on the design. In this video, I'll go over the things I learned in designing my parts, having them prototyped out-of-house, and putting it all together.Learn more about @XometryHQ here: https://hubs.la/Q010ZpFX0Use my referral link (mbsy.co/3vBbHv) to save $50 on your first order.——Help support my experimental CNC content: patreon.com/winstonmoy Social Media: @WinstonMakes (IG/Twitter) Tools I Use: http://www.winstonmakes.com/tools-i-use Legal Blurb - By using my affiliate links, you are helping to support my content.

An Unnecessarily Heavy Box w/ Epoxy & Aluminum Honeycomb Accents Winston Moy 2021-10-10 | Last year I was commissioned to create a gift for an engineer. Here's what I knew: He was an aviation geek, hexagon lover, and (almost hypocritically) a connoisseur of horrendously over-engineered designs. This is the story of how I designed a wildly impractical box. Blending typical woodworking techniques for making a box with some composite materials (aluminum honeycomb and epoxy), I came up with a design that both looked cool and felt substantial in hand.Epoxy from my friends at TotalBoat: totalboat.com/product/totalboat-thickset-casting-epoxyPrevious video where I developed my recipe and affinity for CNC miter joints: youtu.be/4pe2zH83FJI——Help support my CNC content: patreon.com/winstonmoy Sneak peeks of works in progress: instagram.com/winstonmakesTools I Use: http://www.winstonmakes.com/tools-i-use Legal Blurb - By using my affiliate links, you are helping to support my content.

How I Ruined My Latest Project - #165* Winston Moy 2020-04-13 | I became obsessed about an idea to improve the efficiency of producing DIY breathing masks. But through a series of unfortunate errors, I ended up running into a metaphorical brick wall for a couple days. Here's what I was working on, how I screwed up, and what I learned.Also, in light of the fact that I failed to produce anything useful, I decided to donate my previous month's Patreon earnings to Feeding America. Please consider helping those around you any way you can during these times.feedingamerica.orgNote: The mask concept I was working on was incomplete in several areas. I had not yet worked out how to install the filter piece in the front. There would have likely been a small printed insert either snapped on, or glued on. Also, I had not yet figured out how to attach elastic to the mask. Most likely candidate IMO would have been to solvent weld small loops to anchor straps to the mask body.The Destin Clause (youtu.be/sbEj7M3aZIg?t=307):If you do choose to try and take a radical approach, make sure you do so in a way that doesn't disrupt existing efforts and drags other people down with you.——Help support my experimental CNC content: patreon.com/winstonmoy Stalk me on Social Media: @WinstonMakes (insta/twitter)I also contribute instructional content on the Carbide3D Channel: youtube.com/carbide3dTools I Use: http://www.winstonmoy.com/tools-i-use(Legal Blurb - By using my affiliate links, you are helping to support my content.)Merch-y Things: teespring.com/stores/winston-makes

Maker Knife Mods: CNC Machined Faceplate + Kydex Sheath - #149 Winston Moy 2020-03-08 | I love my Maker Knife, but as a maker I naturally want to tweak and personalize my experience with it. In this video, I'll go over how I designed, machined, and (poorly) anodized custom faceplates for my Maker Knife. I'll also show my process for creating a low cost Kydex sheath.PS: The faceplates were machined back in mid 2019, but it didn't feel like a worthwhile/complete project to share until I had the sheath.

Machining Anodized Aluminum to Skeletonize My Shapeoko - #158 Winston Moy 2019-10-27 | Back in February, I adopted a CNC from the scrap heap and decided to have some fun with the machine. I had an idea that was half grounded in utility, half aesthetics. I wanted the ultimate lightweight travel CNC. So I sketched up a design and made my CNC objectively worse in the name of art. This is the story of "Project Skeloko".Disclaimer for all the naysayers, the intended use case for Samwise the Skeletonized Shapeoko is to machine wood/plastic/foam on the road.

How to Dissolve Aluminum From Your Endmills - #148 Winston Moy 2019-05-28 | For a few dollars in supplies, and a few minutes of your time, you can easily get double or triple the use out of your cutters. Hobby machines really don't push the limits of what carbide tooling can do, so the limiting factor and resulting failure modes usually comes down to how clean your endmills are. Dirty endmills make ugly cuts, and can clog more easily.Here's how you can use Lye (NaOH) to clean aluminum build up off your endmills, but the same techniques (with other solvents) can be used for other residue on your endmills.The Lye/Sodium Hydroxide I used: amzn.to/2WtlPgF——Subscribe to the Carbide3D Channel for instructional CNC content: youtube.com/carbide3dHelp support my experimental CNC content: patreon.com/winstonmoy Check out my second channel to see life outside the shop: youtube.com/c/WinstonMakesMoreStalk me on Social Media: @WinstonMakes (insta/twitter)Tools I Use: http://www.winstonmoy.com/tools-i-useLegal Blurb - I’m a member of the Amazon Affiliate program.

Threadmilling a Macro Filter Adapter for my GoPro - #141 Winston Moy 2019-03-16 | I love my GoPro, but it doesn't do so well when filming things up close. The Nomad is too small, and so is the PocketNC, so anything I record on those machines with a GoPro tends to be a little blurry. This simple (but annoying to machine) adapter fixes that problem.T-Shirt Launch (Standard Logo): storefrontier.com/winstonmakesoglogoAlso, I want to provide a little context for the shirt and design. I am under no illusion that my social clout is anywhere near the level of Diresta or Laura Kampf, so despite the fact that my 'brand' is me I really hate the idea of plastering my own name over everything. A creator whose merch aesthetic I really admire is MKBHD, his stuff is simple and understated. Let the design speak for itself. With this shirt (and the ones coming down the road) I wanted to make a way you guys could support me (if you wanted), but also make a shirt that you could wear normally without context. Short of designing humorous maker and cat shirts, this is the only way I know how to express myself.

Deep Diving 3D Surface Finishes in Aluminum - #137 Winston Moy 2019-03-09 | After observing some surface finish artifacts in aluminum I started going down the 3D toolpath rabbit hole, looking for ways to improve my results. This video details my experimental process for arriving at some actionable guidelines for achieving good looking parts with small diameter endmills (low SFM).Note: If you're machining wood or plastic, your toolpath application really isn't that important as neither can hold a remotely optical finish. Aluminum is shiny, so you'll notice every last defect.Additional Note: Users of Kern CNCs are not allowed to comment or surface-finish-shame.-----Subscribe to the Carbide3D Channel for instructional CNC content: youtube.com/carbide3dHelp support my experimental CNC content: patreon.com/winstonmoy Check out my second channel to see life outside the shop: youtube.com/c/WinstonMakesMoreStalk me on Social Media: @WinstonMakes (insta/twitter)
