Well this was a big undertaking but I was really excited to learn how to use LED neon for my church. I build two giant cassette tapes, two Tetris grids and three lettered signs that say Throwback Summer to span our three campuses. This was all for our throwback to the 80’s summer series and I think looks super rad as a backdrop. I routed everything on my @axiomprecision in multiple pieces, assembled the majority of them with @starbondadhesives medium CA glue and then hand wired. I think the results speak for themselves, but I would really love to know what you all think. _____ #led #ledlights #ledneon #neon #neonlights #throwback #80s #signage #stagedesign #church #churchstagedesign #summer #custom #custommade #cnc #cncrouter #cncwoodworking #axiomprecision @axiomcncprojects @toolstoday #teamtoolstoday @earlex_woodworking #thetinkirworkshop #wemakecrazypossible
Took a little detour today with something I’ve wanted to do for a while. I modeled up a knife in @adskfusion360 and milled it out of G10 material on my @axiomprecision CNC.

A little sneak peak at a pedalboard I’m building for my good buddy @bprice7634 The entire top will be hinged at the back, have integrated power, DI and a pass through for an amp.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Here are a few things that I made for my parents to take back home with them. I designed and milled this custom pistachio tray out of wormy maple for my dad and then we worked together to design this fun sign for his chickens. The pistachio tray was finished in @odiesoil and wood wax from @walrusoil both are my two favorite products for a natural food safe finish. It’s always great to have family around as well as create together. _____ #thanksgiving #thanksgiving2020 #pistachio #pistachiotray #maple #wormymaple #chickensofinstagram #backyardchickens #sign #signage #cnc #cncrouter #cncwoodworking @axiomprecision #axiomprecision #thetinkirworkshop #wemakecrazypossible

This project for @frasersautomotive is getting so close to being wrapped up. The lettering has been secured to the aluminum structure and the LED’s have been adhered and tested. I still need to finalize the wiring on the LED driver and we can begin mounting to the building. This project is one of those that has been in my shop way too long because I let my fears get in my way. I’m done with that crap and pushing forward. Thank you Nate for being way beyond considerate and patient with me.

I’m back at it with a small project for a local maker building a shadow box for a USCG member. This piece will get integrated into the top of the box. I roughed out the material with a 1/4” end mill and then finished with an 1/8” ball mill. I’m really happy with how this turned out.
So I actually made this about a year ago, but the client just sent me some photos of the giant M guest book from their wedding. This was a super fun project to make. The M is approximately 4’ square so I had to cut it in two pieces and then adhere them together. It now resides in their home as a center piece and reminder of their special day. I love making things for people, but it’s always super special when it makes memories for them. _____ #guestbook #wedding #weddingguestbook #custommade #laser #laserengraving #personalizedgifts #cnc #cncrouter @axiomprecision #axiomprecision #buildbetterstuff @toolstoday #teamtoolstoday #thetinkirworkshop #wemakecrazypossible
Who doesn’t love a good process video? Here’s my journey from raw brass stock to a beautiful custom branding iron.
I must say, I absolutely love collaborating with other creators. @sherrybouthilletdesign does some stunning home decor and I was able to help make these rustic name cutouts for a client of hers. I haven’t done much weathering techniques, but this was a lot of fun to learn on and the results, I think, are fantastic. I spent a lot of time researching this technique, but in the end I came up with my own method actually out of an accident. I love when that happens. .

A little before and after with this cutting board I made a few years ago. If you look carefully you can see the knife marks from all the use.

So this was a fun little insomnia filled project I did last night. Our teleprompter at work was missing the front holder for the iPad so it has just sat precariously on the platform hoping it didn’t fall. After taking some measurements and photos of the rear stop I was able to make a new front stop to capture the iPad. I had a small scrap piece of delrin and just went for it. I’m super pleased with how this came out. It has two little guides to run in the track as well as drilled and tapped holes to secure it in place.

Sometimes things don’t go according to plan. That’s ok. This reloading tray decided today that it wanted to bow a ton.

So I just picked up this digital caliper from @officialclockwisetoolsinc off of Amazon and already I’m in love with it. I’ve had a cheaper set for a while that has done me well, but my biggest issue was that it would never return to zero. I’d be anywhere between +- 0.005 to 0.01” when closing the calipers fully. The Vinca calipers just feel a ton more solid right out of the box and it returns to zero perfectly every time, even when going out all the way to its 6” max and back. The larger display makes reading measurements easier and the protective case is very stout. Here’s to being able to take more accurate measurements! _____ #calipers #digitalcaliper #clockwisetools #newtools #accuracy #instamachinist #cnc #cncrouter #cncwoodworking #thetinkirworkshop #wemakecrazypossible

WorkbenchCon 2020 is in the bag! All I can say is what...a...time! There’s so many amazing people that I got to meet. Long time makers, new makers, friends and so many more. I’m so grateful for a community like this that supports and builds each other up. A special thanks to Trevor and Martina ( @makerexperiment @kbn_designs ) for being great friends, thank you to Jess @crowcreekdesigns for being an amazing encourager, @winstonmakes for all of my Fusion questions and Sami and Cory from @avidcnc for great conversation and answering all of my detailed CNC questions.

I have arrived! I just made it down to Atlanta and am so excited to be at @workbenchconference again this year. I figured this would be a great opportunity to share a bit about myself and let you in on who this crazy maker is. My name is Kris, I’m originally from New Jersey, spent some time in Florida where I met and married my wife and then we moved to Virginia. I’ve been making things as long as I can remember. Taking things apart and making wild and crazy things out of nothing. Over the years I’ve taught myself all sorts of skills including woodworking, mold making and casting, welding, and most recently CNC machining. The TinKir Workshop is my side hustle. I currently work full time for Waters Edge Church as the Technical Manager overseeing sound, lights and set design. I also freelance as a Pyrotechnician which I’ve been doing for the past 17 years. My main skill set and what I excel in is CNC woodworking. I love the creativity and precision that comes with CNC work and the ability to dream big all the time. I love taking all of your crazy ideas and helping to bring them to life in fun and new ways. But most of all, I love this community. You all are the more supportive people around. There’s a bunch of you that I converse with daily, but I want to get to know more of you. If you see me at workbench, please say hi and tell me about what you do. If you can’t make it to WBC, comment below or send me a DM. _____ #workbenchcon2020 #workbenchcon #communityovercompetition #woodworking #makersgonnamake #makercommunity #cnc #cncwoodworking #thetinkirworkshop #wemakecrazypossible

Here’s my entry into the #tbc3minichallenge with this gorgeous resin table. A lot learned through mistakes on this build, but I’m super proud of how it all turned out. Hard maple for the wood, @ecopoxy and @blackdiamondpigments_com for the resin and color. I still have to finish it off with a bar top coating and refinish the whiskey barrel that this will go on, but that’s about all I was able to squeeze into this week. I’d love to know what you all think.
So I’ve been working on a few firsts lately. This is my first real resin project and also my first builders challenge submission. So far so good. I had some insecurities to even start this build, but I finally psyched myself up and dove in head first. I couldn’t be more pleased at the results even though I had some minor challenges on the start. Still a bit more to go, but I’m going to continue to push forward. I hope you all are out pushing yourselves to be better.

Getting so close to pouring this resin! I just brought everything inside from my shop to acclimate since it’s so cold outside. I’m hoping to actually do the pour this weekend.

Well here is the first big project of 2020. This is a custom navigation sign @storylabs.usa The directional arrows are magnetic and can be positioned in any orientation depending on where they want to direct people to go.
So this was a long over due but quick project. Friends of mine had gotten this engraved board to celebrate their anniversary, but as you can see, or in reality not see is the engraving. It was a very shallow engraving and it made it extremely difficult to see the beautiful engraving. I was able to find very similar fonts and laser engraved the back side for them so that they could enjoy this board and see their anniversary on display.

As part of a collaboration with Saunders Machine Works I milled this heat sink out of brass. The file was provided in Fusion where I did all the toolpaths. 1/4” 3-flute to surface and profile the material. 1/16” 2-flute for the slots and a 1/16” 2-flute ball mill for the rounded tops. I’m super please with how this came out.

Last week I made some really cool brass stamps for a local glass artist. One of them was a dragon scale texture. You’ll see two different ones in this video because the first one, while it created a cool texture, didn’t really resemble a scale. So I reworked the file and the second attempt came out much much better. I’m really excited to see these used in glass as that’s a medium I haven’t had any experience in.

So out at @workbenchconference last year I had the opportunity to meet Nick who was doing industrial CNC work at the time, but has now branched out and started a new company called @clebitco offering some incredible bits for the CNC industry. I am not sponsored. I paid for these myself. But the quality and value looks to be great. I paid the same as some of the other competitors out there, but as you see in these V bits, I’m really getting 2 for 1 being double sided. I have a few brass stamps coming up this week that I’ll be using these on and doing some further testing, but huge thanks to Nick for letting me know about the business and helping me make the right choices on bits. _____ #cnc #cncrouter #cncbits #clebitco #cncmilling #brass #brassstamp #brand #branding #thetinkirworkshop #wemakecrazypossible
So here’s a little off the wall project. This has been on my list to make for quite a while now and I had some scrap material to make it with. My wife and I like to play this board game called Forbidden Island, but the playing pieces never stay where you want them. So I made this playing board to keep everything nice and neat where it should be. This was a combination of laser engraving and CNC routing to come to life. I made a few mistakes with the laser due to forgetting to check a setting, but overall I think it came out pretty good.

Thanks to some great help from @solarmill for cutting these wood panels, we were able to get them all installed over a span of 18hrs. To keep the hardware hidden on the back side I created these custom corner brackets with forged eye bolts and then screwed and glued them to the panels for a secure fit. Everything was rigged direct to building steel. This was definitely quite the process, but the end result is stunning.
So this has been a project that has waited for well over a year now. I kind of psyched myself out of learning Fusion and diving into aluminum milling. Well, no more. I said I’m going to do it and I did. Here’s a montage of the process for milling out an 80% AR lower receiver.
Things are getting serious! I’m diving head first into new territory. First time modeling and toolpathing in @adskfusion360 First time doing serious milling on my @axiomprecision CNC. And by serious I mean I’m taking 3/8” depth cuts are really leveraging adaptive clearing. I’m not using any lubricant, but I do have a constant air blast on the bit to clean out chips and help keep the bit cool and free of chip welds. _____ Stats: 40IPM at 6000 RPM 3/8” axial cut, 0.03” radial cut 3/8” long reach endmill from American Gunsmith Tooling @lakeshorecarbide _____ #ar15 #ar15build #80percentlower #cnc #cncrouter #cncmilling #titansofcnc #axiomprecision @axiomprecision #notjustforwoodworking #thetinkirworkshop #wemakecrazypossible

For those that were curious about my process on cutting out these signs, here’s a look at how I did it. First I sanded down the plywood to 220 grit, cleaned it and then stained it. I let it dry overnight. I gave it a quick wipe down of any remaining excess and then laid down the Oramask 813. I just used a soft rag as I went along to smooth out the mask as I stuck it down. Then I created a toolpath to cut the outlines of the letters around 0.03” depth just enough to score the masking material and I peeled up the remnants. I did this because in earlier tests the cutting was putting side pressure on the mask and causing a lot of it to lift off the material. The the CNC did its thing clearing out all the letters nicely. There were still a few sharp corners of mask that lifted up, so I cut off what wouldn’t stick anymore and laid down some fresh vinyl to then hand cut with a razor blade. All in all a pretty simple process. Next these letters get painted white and the mask will come off. _____ #timelapse #djiosmomobile2 #signs #signage #roomnumbers #oramask #oramask813 #cnc #cncrouter #cncwoodworking #teamtoolstoday @amanatool @toolstoday @axiomprecision @iconiccnc #axiomprecision #thetinkirworkshop #wemakecrazypossible
This bit is for sure one of my most used work horses. It’s the 1/2” shank 60° insert but from ToolsToday. This is cutting 3/4” ply in two passes and it leaves such an amazingly clean wall finish. Using this bit with a v-carve makes getting into those tight corners effortless. And best of all, if I dull that bit from use, all I need to replace is the blade vs the entire bit. _____ @toolstoday @amanatool RC-1108 _____ #teamtoolstoday #cnc #cncrouter #cncwoodworking #axiomprecision @axiomprecision #thetinkirworkshop #wemakecrazypossible

I’ve gotta tell you guys about these @carolinashoe boots. I got these back in March after winning them at @workbenchconference and I’ve definitely put them through the ringer. I’ve thrown just about all I can at them and they don’t even flinch. They’re super comfortable to wear all day long, which has always been a battle between me and other boots in the past. I can’t say enough good about them. They’ve saved my toes numerous times and I even got caught in a torrential downpour and was soaked to the bone except for my feet which stayed perfectly dry.

This right here is the true embodiment of #communityovercompetition I had the great opportunity today to meet up with another local maker and CNC guy, Bryant, from @sawdustbydesign His machine was a bit bigger than mine which was needed for this section of the project I’m working on for @storylabs.usa He was gracious enough to have me over and get these cutouts done. We did have to implore some creativity as the cutouts were still just a tad longer than his bed. I used my old dowel pin technique to hold the material in place and then shift the sheet down to the next hole set for the continued part of the route.

I really love how this is all coming together. _____ @toolstoday @axiomprecision #axiomprecision #mdf #wood #woodworking #cnc #cncrouter #cncwoodworking #sign #signage #custom #custommade #handcrafted @storylabs.usa #thetinkirworkshop #wemakecrazypossible
So I came home from vacation to find the bin in the back of my truck opened up (not by me) and filled with water. Submerged was one of my @ridgidpowertools batteries and the charger. It looks like I can save the charger. I opened it up thanks to these security screw bits and cleaned the board with Deoxit. I didn’t see any corrosion or damage so🤞🏻Now to let it dry out and test it. The battery on the other hand is toast. Unfortunately for some reason Ridgid’s warranty site didn’t like it when I tried registering the batteries, so this guy isn’t covered. Womp womp. Time to go shopping and replace it. _____ #submerged #submergedtools #teamridgid #savethecharger #drillbattery #battery #thetinkirworkshop #wemakecrazypossible
I have to say, overall I’m super impressed with this spray shelter. It sets up slightly different than the small shelters. The small ones just unfold and they’re setup. This one requires setting up two tent style poles for the structure. It assembles super easy with 1 person. My only wish is that it had a floor. Not a deal breaker though. A simple tarp or plastic sheeting will suffice, but that is one feature of the small shelter I liked. The front has a full screen on it that easily Velcro’s into place. This is great because you can leave objects to dry without worrying that debris might blow onto your fresh paint or finish. I should be putting this through it’s paces for the next 2 weeks and will definitely be sharing more on it. Thank you again to @homerightps for sending this to me.

New bits in the house! These are for sure one of my most used bits on the CNC. These are the 1/4” SPEKTRA compression bits from ToolsToday. I use these in MDF and plywood and they leave such a clean cut. I have a very large project coming up and these are the primary workhorses to cut everything out with. _____ @toolstoday @amanatool Tool No. 46170-K _____ #cnc #cncrouter #cncbits #toolstoday #teamtoolstoday #axiomprecision #cncwoodworking #thetinkirworkshop #wemakecrazypossible
This cutting board was super special. I made this right before heading out for vacation for a long time friend of mine. He got married yesterday and this was their wedding gift. It’s made from some wormy maple cut offs I had, laser engraved on my @axiomprecision and then finished in some @walrusoil and their wood wax. I hope this brings them a lot of joy and use. _____ #cuttingboard #servingboard #wedding #weddinggift #wormymaple #maplewood #maple #spaltedmaple #wood #woodworking #cnc #cncrouter #cncwoodworking #laser #laserengraving #personalized @jtechphotonics @axiomprecision #thetinkirworkshop #wemakecrazypossible
I’m so thankful that I was able to make these for a great family. Items I created were a yard Jenga set, a custom name sign and a pallet wood wall. I absolutely love this simple idea they had with displaying the rings on the Jenga set. Super fun. I definitely had a lot of fun making these. Thank you to @sherrybouthilletdesign for having me create these items and to @kellydier Photography for the photos. _____ #jenga #yardjenga #sign #namesign #signage #custom #custommade #wedding #weddingrings #weddingphotography #weddingfun #cnc #cncrouter #cncwoodworking #axiomprecision @axiomprecision #thetinkirworkshop #wemakecrazypossible
I got this large M wrapped up and delivered yesterday. It right around 4’ square, so it’s quite large. It’s made from two 2’x4’ pine panels from @loweshomeimprovement and finished in some Danish oil. The two halves were glued and @kregjig -ed together. I laser engraved the bottom right with the wedding couple’s name and wedding date. This will actually be their guest book at the wedding. Everyone will sign the M and then it’ll eventually hang in the couples home. This was a super fun piece to make and I can’t wait to see if full of signatures and well wishes.

I know it’s not Thursday yet, but here’s a little throwback to this sign I made. I just finally got a photo from the client with it hung on their property. This was a piece of sinker cypress he brought to me. It was engraved on both sides, painted and sanded down to reveal the text. I also included some wenge bow ties to help keep those cracks from spreading. This was such a fun project and it makes it even more worth it to see it hanging proudly at the entrance of their property. _____ #sign #signage #woodsign #engraving #1776 #cnc #cncrouter #cncwoodworking #axiomprecision @axiomprecision @toolstoday #thetinkirworkshop #wemakecrazypossible
So I thought this was quite interesting while I was shopping at @loweshomeimprovement yesterday. If you swipe between the two photos, both of these boards are shrink wrapped and labeled as the same product, however only one of them is actually 5/4. They’re at least a 1/4” different from each other. I’m glad I caught that and paid for the correct sized item. 🤦🏻‍♂️ _____ #mismarked #sizedifference #bigboxstore #thetinkirworkshop #wemakecrazypossible

So it’s definitely been a hot minute since I’ve been in the shop. Probably about 3 weeks. But I’m back and making something awesome for the wonderful Jess Crow of @crowcreekdesigns Be sure to look out soon for how I made this brand over on my YouTube channel and IGTV. _____ #brand #branding #brandawareness #brandingiron #brass #buylocal #madeinalaska #woodworker #cnc #cncrouter #cncmilling @axiomprecision #axiomprecision @datroncnc #youtube #igtv #thetinkirworkshop #wemakecrazypossible
Heres some custom lettering I did just a short while ago. These were made out of 3/4” birch ply for strength. Everything was sanded down nice and smooth, primed and painted. I love how these came out and that they’ll be in use for a very long time! _____ @sherrybouthilletdesign #wood #woodworking #cnc #cncrouter #cncwoodworking #axiomprecision @toolstoday #wedding #thetinkirworkshop #wemakecrazypossible
