My New Invention - Easy DIY CNC Project
Hey everyone welcome back! Today I'm going to be showing you how I designed and built my very own grocery bag carrying handle. The concept is nothing new, but the design is certainly out of the box. If you want to follow along, it's the perfect project for entry-level woodworking with a CNC or basic tools, depending on how much detail you'd like to add into the design. The design itself was done in Adobe Illustrator but you can use any vector-based program you're comfortable with. If you're using a CNC, Vetric V Carve is a great product to use because it also writes the code necessary for the CNC machine to read. I used the Stepcraft D840 CNC machine to do the carving but again, hand-cutting the shape is doable with a scroll saw, jigsaw, or even handsaws! The 1/2" plywood I used ended up not being a great option for this build but I made it work. When I do this again, I would prefer to use half-inch wood boards, preferably maple, or a nice birch plywood. It also makes for a perfect rainy-day weekend project because it only takes a few hours to complete. It makes for a perfect birthday or Christmas gift as well. Let me know in the comments if you have any questions or need assistance making your own! Looking forward to hearing your feedback.
