Big doors swing on little hinges

A few pictures of what we’ve been working on this week. Exterior door, solid wood, oak, done with Pavol’s precision.
No CNC machine, no compression bit tools, no tool-paths, no 3D simulations, not prototyping. Just a usual, old-styled and skilled way of carpentry. Heavy, stylish, durable, and timeless. See the gallery.

 

Fast – cheap – well

Kamil Pitonak | | Blog


There are universal rules we all face in life whether we like them or not. They are like gravity. Infinite, present and unquestionable. The sudden exploration of the concept of a fast-cheap-well triangle is one of them.

This rule is a simple idea. It reminds you that you cannot have it all. And you always have to make decisions. And the faster you accept it, the better. And for every choice you make, there’s a result and price for it.

The triangle points to three ways how things can be done. The most important part is: from those three you can always choose only two to combine. Let’s see in detail how it works.

Fast and cheap! But not well

For instance, you are planning to build a new kitchen. You can definitely get it done fast and cheap. But this means making some decisions according to this requirement.

For fast; using our CNC machining services, our experience in designing and building kitchens, the size of the kitchen, avoiding proper planning and prototyping, letting us doing decisions.

For cheap; adjusting the size of your kitchen, simplifying the design and color, lowering the quality of material and cutting down on quality and amount of used hardware.

Cheap and well! But not fast

Well, it’s possible in some way, but this is a journey for somebody who has all the time he/she wish to have in order to save on planning and designing and building. Is that you?

For cheap; providing your own working and tested design ideas, money saving material and hardware choices, finding on your own what should be the cheapest way to make and assemble the final pieces into a kitchen.

For well; getting professional and tested advice on design and production of your kitchen project, having no mistakes and prototyping effectively. Using the proven ways to cut and assemble the kitchen without mistakes.

Utopia? Maybe yes, maybe not. We believe it’s possible but—time consuming. Can you afford it. Do you want to?

Fast and well! But not cheap.

Let’s say you want your kitchen to be the one all you neighbors come to see and admire.  And you want it fast. Yes, it’s possible. But there’s a price for this too. Let’s see where it lies.

For fast: using our CNC machining services, our knowledge of building furniture,  fast planning, designing and fast cutting and assembling. Finally, our time fully focused on your project to finish it in the shortest possible time.

For well: precise cutting on the CNC machine, best tools, high-quality materials and hardware, professional design advice. Skilled carpenters to assemble it, experienced finishers for best colors and finally, a team of clever guys to install your kitchen to fit precisely as planned.

Well, you’re probably getting the point now. To build you kitchen you have many possibilities. It all depends on the outcome you want. We can help you in almost any way. Those differences in price and quality and time we face in our work are not what we invented. They’ve been here all the time. We just follow them.

Whatever it is you want us help you with, keep on mind the cheap-fast-well triangle.  Any project you have, show up and let’s find out what should be the direction to save you time, money or hassle.

Update: Serious Music, Serious Color.

Here are the promised pictures of the classic organ from Darryl Wood (www.midiworks.ca) in black. The satin finish won’t let you think this instrument is a toy—the opposite. Clasic, time-less, charismatic. See for yourself.
(Again, these pictures were taken while assembling a prototype in our shop. Final pieces soon.)

How to Help Contractors Do What They Do Best

Kamil Pitonak | | Blog


We’ve been trying a lot of approaches to help contractors do their job. What works best most of the time maybe won’t surprise you but it’s a though job in a real world; we do what they ask us to do—plus we add some extra effort.

Those contractors we met are clever people who are really good at what they do. That’s why we don’t try to invent a wheel every time somebody asks us for help. But we can help a lot in many other areas once we put our heads together.

Kitchen cabinets, closets, MDF doors with profiles, panels, simple straight cutting or complicated curved parts—all can be done really fast once it’s under the bit of our CNC machine.

If it’s just and idea in your head, few measurements, a sketch or a complete shop drawing from a designer—it’s what we work with here every day to complete projects like yours. Show up, get a price quote and see if it’s for you too.

Ta-da-da-daaa! Building Classic Organs

Kamil Pitonak | | Uncategorized


It’s our highest pleasure to share the following pictures with you. A classic organ designed by Darryl Wood from www.midiworks.ca available in two finishes—red walnut and piano black. Both beautiful pieces of a charismatic musical instrument. Designed and crafted with passion and care.

It’s been a long journey from the initial idea to the final pieces. And as we are still not done with the whole production amount, we are so delighted by the results. Almost fulfilled.

Most of all, we believe that guys from Classic Organs will receive positive feedback from their clients on this long awaited alternative to a real organ so hard to have for practice.

If you are one of those organ enthusiasts, we’re sure we helped to build a nice instrument for those of you who want to play serious organ music on a low budget. See the gallery how it looks, works and how you can do it all on your own. (Note that the one in this gallery is still unfinished. Pictures of complete, finished organs soon.)

When a project sounds great

Kamil Pitonak | | Blog


We’ve worked with a number of carpenters from Toronto in the past few years. Sometimes, the process was smooth, but not always. Other instances involved facing complex challenges which we solved together. In these situations, there is often a lot of learning involved on both sides. Our conclusion: the success of any multifaceted project is based on clear communication and careful planning. And we’re glad to say this was the case for Joshua Tidsbury and his job for Seneca College.

Joshua Tidsbury from Duvernet Woodworks is a skilled designer and a carpenter with whom every CNC operating company would enjoy working with. Here, at CNC Cutting we helped him equip a new space for the Broadcasting-Television Program at Seneca College (at York University) with custom workstations. Seneca’s Audio-Video Consoles posed technical challenges. Joshua was able to deal with them very well due with the popular “Google Sketchup” software. Our CNC detailer found “Sketchup” drawings a big help, too.

Most of all however, it was his mixture of attention to the needs of the teachers and students, as well as his passion for design and precise cabinetry, that made Joshua’s Seneca College at York University project a big success.

We’re looking forward to working with Joshua on further interesting projects. CNC Cutting wishes all future students of the Broadcasting – Television Program at Seneca College, good luck with their studies!

3D modeling & machining for advertisers

3d-propeller-done-with-cnc-7

We have done many commercial signage and object projects designed for corporate and promotional events. Some of them have been technically and structurally challenging designs. We are excited to do projects that need to be machined in an unconventional way, like this one which needed to be scaled to an enormous size. Well, that’s what we like doing the most. This is a large propeller promoting a new History Chanel television show in Toronto American Pickers. The challenge was to replicate a real propeller, scale it up and machine it for advertising but “not flying ” purposes. We 3D modeled, scaled, sliced and machined this propeller on 3/4″ material and put it back together, layer by layer, into one solid piece.

Concept to reality - Capital One kiosk/exhibit booth

We like the challenge. Projects like these are always challenging especially when you have tight deadlines. The design intricacy and complexity adds even more to the challenge of this project but with right tool and enough experience nothing is impossible. We’d like to share few images with you from one of these projects that came out from our shop just recently.  Capital One is about to offer their financial products over these kiosks / exhibit booths across the Canada and this is one of the prototypes at Toronto Pearson International Airport that is going to test their waters for them. We think it couldn’t turn out better.

Scale Is Not An Issue

Martin Pitonak | | Blog


Scale is not an issue while thinking CNC cutting. Whatever your projects is micro small or size of an elephant, it is achievable. All you have to do, is to plan your project with CNC in mind. I’d like to share few images form our previously done project for a Montreal casting company Aluma Systems building concrete structure like bridge pillars, water barrages and doing other civil construction & engineering.

Flowing images are results of pre-engineered plywood templates with naming engraved in to actual templates for better assembly and manipulation. Templates were later fabricated with another layer of plywood to create a custom shaped cast that will get later filled with concrete and shape out parts for a future water barrages.

Basszilla speaker – assembly process

I’d love to just quickly share few images from a previously done project for a client in a need for CNC cutting service . Here is his project coming together and I’m just gonna quote his own words

The rest of the cuts and inlays are perfect and so tight it’s not funny.  I’m not even using screws, just glue!
