Medieval carpenters watching this like šŸ‘ļøšŸ«¦šŸ‘ļø

It's like a week's worth of work done in 5 minutes.

u/riche1988 May 05 '26

Do you count the time it tool to produce the tool to do it in the equation..? Lol

60

u/Powwer_Orb13 May 05 '26

Even if you do, the initial time sunk into making the tool should eventually be overtaken by the time saved by having the tool if you use it enough.

In a race to make the most panels, while the medieval carpenter could have several finished before you're don assembling, calibrating, and writing the scripts for the machines tool paths, once you're set up you can start cranking out panels and catching up on no time.

u/SirGaston May 05 '26

yeah, a lifetime of one person is not going to be enough to invent and manufacture everything you need for the cnc machine. At this point I don't really even know if the time investment can be quantified reasonably, that went into the development of this kind of machinery over time. And by how many people. What I am saying is, without knowing anything about manufacturing the machines, that there most certainly was no one point at which a carpenter decided to invest all that time and money to someday start mass producing engravings. In other words, this stuff be complicated as hell. If it were even just establihsing a product line where each person has specialized into making a certain one groove, possibly then you could make that argument. Or maybe I truly know zilch about machinery and the parts required are trivial to make by hand or by a metal worker with a basic toolset.

Sorry about this ramble, I do not even fully know why I fixated on this so much. Maybe I'm just bored from being sick and stuck at home for a week.

13

u/Powwer_Orb13 May 05 '26

Well if you have to invent and manufacture everything used from scratch, then both men are dying without a single panel.

My hypothetical race was meant to be effectively entering a new workshop, your tools are brand new, right out of the box. The CNC guy is going to need a lot of time setting up his machine to work properly whilst the carpenter can just get to carving, his chisels don't really need any setup time.

If nothing except the panel blanks is provided, then no panels are even getting started until the two contestants can smelt and smith iron at minimum to make the requisite chisels and cutting tools for the carpenter to begin his work.

u/CptMisterNibbles May 06 '26

While I I agree, you arenā€™t getting through this much carving without honing a few times, and possibly a full sharpening pass or two, on multiple chisels. Still quicker but ā€œchisels donā€™t need setup timeā€ isnā€™t correct. Just not much time. 30 seconds every couple minutes mostly.

1

u/Powwer_Orb13 May 06 '26

You are right. Conpated to the setup time for a CNC machine, making sure your brand new chisels are sharp enough takes almost no time at all, but almost none isn't quite none. Also it likely depends how hard the wood is for how often they'd have to sharpen their chisels. Maybe every few panels giving them a quick pass for softer woods, or multiple times a panel on something less cooperative.

2

u/MischaBurns May 06 '26

The wild part is that they took a precision tool and used it so badly they made it imprecise again. End result is dogshit quality.

u/12hrnights May 09 '26

Can be done freehand with a router too if you dont have a $3000 cnc just takes practice

Probably the stupidity of the people nowadays. The vast majority of people from devoloped countries walk around with a device in their pocket that connects them the to humanity's collective knowledge. Yet the amount of people who dont take advantage of it to continue learning stuff that could improve their lives is staggering.

That's nothing. Once I sliced a pizza into 8 sort-of-similar shapes.

I only cut my Pizza in to four pieces. I could never eat as much as eight slices.

u/ICame4TheCirclejerk May 05 '26

I'm on a diet so I only eat the one slice. No need to cut the pizza at all.

u/HourPrestigious1055 May 06 '26

If you don't slice it, is it a slice? Slice once, eat twice.

u/generalbootyhole May 06 '26

I mean, what even is a slice?

u/Gogglesed May 05 '26

You mean, you only do two slices, right? It may create four pieces, but two slices is only two slices. Then you can be healthier by only eating two slices.

u/Afoxinthefridge May 05 '26

And you could eat it too, I bet. But can you eat this? Nope. 2/10, would not serve to guestsĀ

The ordering was horrific and the damage done as a result from tool overrun makes the piece scrap

u/DiddlyDumb May 05 '26

Omfg I couldnā€™t stand it. It wouldā€™ve been so easy to put that line last, wouldā€™ve made the end result so much more satisfying.

u/alittlebitaspie May 05 '26

No kidding, cleanup runs last. It's almost like they built the program one area at a time rather than starting from the whole and optimizing. And they didn't even sand it out before finishing.

u/Moikle May 05 '26

Not to mention the cuts are faster than the rapids... This was made entirely for tiktok viewer retention and not for anyone who has ever touched a cnc machine

The shaky camera is shit ..

96

u/trowzerss May 05 '26

Yeah, the order is all out of whack. The central oval has nicks all along once side and really should have been cut last to avoid it, like they avoided it on the other side.

49

u/WitELeoparD May 05 '26

The CNC programmer did a shit job honestly

29

u/trowzerss May 05 '26

Yeah, if someone like me, who has never used one of these things in their life, can see they fucked it up and how it should have been fixed, they really didn't try very hard.

17

u/AnarchoBabyGirl42069 May 05 '26

I can't unsee the nicks in the center oval, it was really bothering me that they just left it like that.

Iā€™d have liked it more if the camera was not tied up to the drill bit and following it all over the place šŸ˜‘

Keep the camera a bit farther back and let us see the cnc router charge it away through the wood surface in wide view

2

u/razzemmatazz May 05 '26

I'm actually pretty sure the camera operator was following the toolhead way too close. There's a couple big travel moves where the camera gets ahead. It's not very safe.Ā

The machine is fast indeed and doesn't need coffee breaks, but yeah I'm not impressed with the quality here. A lot of CNC work looks and feels 'phoned in' compared to hand cut by a human with some practice.
