CNC Carved Spoons and Spatuloons

These spoons were my first two sided project
attempted on my CNC Router.

Spoons provided me a challenge to create a two sided project to practice and learn the skills necessary to attempt my Continuous Arm Windsor Chair Seat with CNC Router project.  My first attempt at cutting out spoons was with 3D models purchased from TurboSquid, and proved to be satisfactory for my test purposes as well as practical cooking utensil.  However, I wasn't satisfied with someone else's design, so I created my on with Blender.

Digital Bandsaw Blade Tension Gauge

 

 

This is a electronic/digital gauge to measure the tension of band saw blades in order to get the best performance from the blade and the saw. Once installed, this device provides a convenient method for measuring the force or tension a bandsaw blade without interfering with the blade guides or attaching something to the blade. This gauge/scale can be setup to display either imperial (default) or metric.

Details of this project can be seen at Digital Bandsaw Blade Tension Gauge at Instructables.  Information about this gauge can also be found at BANDSAW TENSION GAUGE USES RASPBERRY PI AND LOAD CELL at Hackaday.
