The Cutting board feet are the highest quality feet I have found. They are the correct size with true quality craftsmanship and design. If you are building higher-end cutting boards, these are an excellent selection.
Hey, I’m still working on it. My first one will have a 49’ers logo on it. This is my first time using epoxy resin. Soooo, I made two sample logos, in a larger scale, so that I could get an idea of the setup, machining, and epoxy steps involved. I’ve included a picture of the finished emblems. I’ve also included a monitor shot of how my game board will look. Actually it’s for my son. I doctored up the drawing so that I could use an actual ellipse logo for the Niners.
I’m really happy with the kit you sent. I even ordered two more.
And yes, the logo pieces are on the small cutting board blank. That may be a later picture.
Thank you!
This rougher bit can EAT! The roughing bit made quick work of clearing the pocket of this charcuterie board. The bit flew through the cherry and let a smooth bottom surface that required very little sanding.
All the inlay parts arrived great except the Osage. The glue separated from itself, which can be expected due to the oil nature of Osage. No issues, just wanted you to know. Thanks for your knowledge, videos, and your company for supporting amateurs like me!
I supervise the CNC shop in a local makerspace in Lowell, MA.
l love making your products as examples to members of what they can do on the machines.
This one will be given to a local charity for annual fundraiser.
I've sent many a member to you for training and bits.
Expect some requests for TBN-32s, I've been teaching 3d carves this week. (Oh, and everyone mentions the handwritten thank-you cards! I collect them now)
Love these kits. They make it so easy to get a great looking flag. 2 large and one small flag done. 2 small flags have roughing pass, stars carved and epoxied. Will carve towards the end of the week.
People love these flags!
There’s a lot to be said for having the milling done for you. It’s like hiring someone without the hassle of hiring someone! Thanks Ryan!! You’re definitely on to something!
A client wanted his and his wife’s name carved in a heart. I took it one step further (as always), I carved it in a tree for them. BamX is such a versatile material and the possibilities are endless.
First time I've had a chance to work with Osage Orange and it's great! Easy to cut and very little packing or chip-out. Nice wood - I'll definitely get more!
The bit works great and I have been using it to produce some of Nik's work from Broinwood. I have recently received an order to produce two BBQ cutting boards for Christmas gifts for my client's sons. One son is in the Marine Corp and the other son is in the Navy. My Client (The father) was so excited to see the BBQ cutting board I have in my home and there was no hesitation to put in the order.
Thank you!
First let me start by saying how amazing the boards were in the kit. This was by far the most impressive design I’ve ever cut on my cnc and will definitely be making more inlays in the near future!
Thanks to everyone at CIC for such a great experience.
I just got my Altmill a couple of weeks ago and am so impressed with the items I bought from you. The inserted surfacing bit did awesome on the wasteboard and the inlay cutters worked great too. I made a couple of test inlays before trying the cutting board. All three of them came out flawless! The inlay press worked well also. I did put a few clamps on the sides to be sure it was all seated.
The handwritten notes were a nice touch in my orders!!! Ordering things online is so impersonal and this made it so much better.
Thanks!!!
Material shipped fast, arrived in perfect shape, carved beautifully, and the customer loved the outcome. Cant be happier and will certainly be ordering from CIC Workshop again!
I bought one and my wife loved it so much that she took it. Bought 3 more to make for Christmas gifts. They all turned out great! I'm very pleased and will order more in the future.
All your products are great quality and a huge time saver when needing these large cutting boards.
This one is for a charity auction where my Wife volunteers. It will be interesting how much it brings them.
The flag kit worked flawlessly - it takes a long time for the final carve, but well worth it. I added the 250 year anniversary V carve to it as well. I took a different approach than Ryan and carved it first and then used a shellac in and around the v-carve and let it dry thoroughly. I then used acrylic paint and it dry thoroughly. I attached a 1/2 foam pad extension to my Festool sander and carefully sanded off the excess paint (take light passes so not to sand the carve detail away). I then top coated the whole flag using a satin acrylic spray.
The quality of CIC products speaks for itself. They always have superior wood and cutting bits.. and their customer service can't be beat. Great Job CIC
