This is the second in a series of two videos where I demonstrate how to create a carve a two sided Potpourri Bowl from idea to reality using the 3D modeling capabilities of Vectric's Aspire software and my Laguna IQ CNC. In this second video I will take you step-by-step through the process of how to carve the bowl I created in Aspire the first video of this series.
The first video where I take you step-by-step through designing the bowl can be seen at the following link:
Potpourri Bowl Designed in Aspire: youtu.be/zL-q8TFoeNk
This series of videos is not limited to this type of bowl. It is detailed enough that you should be able to create other bowls with the knowledge gained. Only your imagination will be the limit.
What You Will Learn:
👉 How I laminated Cutting it Close Workshop BAMX Material and Maple to make a unique block of material for carving a bowl.
👉 How to hold down a two sided project for carving both sides.
👉 How to use "roughing" and "finishing" bits to minimize sanding requirements on your double-sided 3D project.
👉 How to implement alignment methods to allow successful carving of both sides of a two sided project.
Why Watch?
This video series teaches how to physically carve bowls and other two sided models on a CNC.
