I've been doing more videos with Paper Tools software, which uses a video camera to control your CNC machine. It works on Windows with Mach 4, Centroid, gSender etc. I'm looking for some intrepid makers to share their projects which I'd like to feature on my YouTube channel (
www.youtube.com/@papertools) and website:
www.papertools.ai/projects.
Everything's free so DM if you're interested, and here are 7 potential projects that would be the perfect kind of thing I'm looking for:
Butterfly inlay to patch cracked wood
Use laser to engrave your signature
Trace a workpiece edge
Measure with the camera, import into CAD
Position any existing GCode with the camera view to cut exactly what you see
Copy a bolt pattern and drill holes at those locations
Joinery: use the software to show mortise/tenon joinery techniques using the camera
Here are a few videos that show the techniques in the projects above:
