Mass Producing Gifts with the Lowrider V4

I needed unique gifts for the holidays, so I decided to fire up the CNC and batch out some custom wooden spoons! In this video, I take you through the entire workflow—from designing the complex 3D curves to setting up the toolpaths and handling the finishing work. If you’ve ever wanted to move beyond 2.5D cutting and try full 3D machining on a hobby CNC, this project is the perfect place to start. 🛠️ LINKS & RESOURCES Round Spoon on Thangs - https://than.gs/m/1479440 Flat Spoon on Thangs - https://than.gs/m/1479441 ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 - Intro 0:42 - Designing the Spoon in 3D 1:26 - CAM & Toolpaths (Two-Sided Strategy) 2:58 - CNC Machining (Roughing & Finishing) 5:41 - Trouble in Paradise 8:18 - CNC Wrap-Up 9:03 - Sanding & Food Safe Finish 10:30 - The Reveal
