What’s up CNC woodworkers?! This is the final episode of my tutorial series on how to make a wood bowl with epoxy drips on a CNC router. In this episode I jump over to the work shop. I start by discussing how I process and glue some wood together, then machine out the mold, pour epoxy, machine the bottom and outside of the bowl, flip it over and properly indicate in the second side, machine the inside of the bowl, and then apply a quick finish. The previous episodes covered how to do the CAD in Fusion 360 and CAM / tool paths. This video is great for beginners, but I’m sure some advanced users may pick up a trick of two! If you are looking for another shape to make then download my shell bowl file from https://bit.ly/2XDfgH1
This is a basic project, but it is the basis for all my epoxy and wood bowls, including the butterfly and heart shaped bowls. Like, comment and subscribe to encourage me to make more videos! Ask questions below and I’ll try to answer them.

Notes:
**** I’ve tried cheaper Amazon tape and found it didn’t adhere as well as Scotch tape.
***** My machine is great for metal, but rather limited for woodworking; eventually I may get a dedicated CNC router, such as a Tormach 24R.
