Warrior CNC carving

Furnished content.

Warrior CNC carvingA model I got for a few bucks on ebay a while ago I finally found time to carve. After carving I applied 2 coats of shellac, then covered it in brown oil paint and wiped the excess off with a mineral spirits soaked ragged. The paint gives it a lot more depth than simply leaving it plain would have.I'm really happy with how it worked out. I'm especially impressed with the level of detail I got out of a 1/8” ball nose bit on the finishing path, I had considered using a tapered ball nose with a 0.5mm tip, but wanted to try something larger to save time and energy.I've been tracking time as I work on projects lately to help myself better track the machine time and labor that goes into some of this stuff for when I try to sell my work. Not sure why I felt compelled to include it but someone might find it useful:Prep time:

  1. Surfacing boards: 00:15:20
  2. glue up: 00:05:00
  3. Machine setup: 00:05:00
Carve time:
  1. 1/4” roughing bit: 00:52:27
  2. 1/8” ball nose finishing: 09:21:41
  3. 1/8 profile pass: 00:05:20
Post-processing:
  1. cut out: 00:10:45
  2. cleaning edges: 00:05:25
  3. Applying shellac(2 coats, not counting wait time): 00:03:22
  4. paint/wiping: 00:48:50
Total time: 11:53:10
