Janksy’s 1st crown attempt!
Am pleased considering the shortcuts I took… Paper was taped to decrepit damp swollen bent loosely laid chip spoilboard, resting on cambered 2x4s. Pen was loose (recommend 3 zip ties), neat idea to mount pen to vac holder. Still need to do Initial Squaring and level/tram with a surface bit. Core rail tensioners are loose, etc…
Again, love and appreciate the design. I keep discovering, realizing and appreciating details, e.g. like how the X Belt Tensioner profile/design’s tight tolerance allows barely sliding behind the Core. Cool engineering!
Short clip (~27s) @ LowRider V3 CNC build — Janksy's 1st crown - YouTube
Janksy currently rides on not a table legless flat surface. Copied and tweaked some forum ideas:
- Threw together some 10’ 2x4’s for the ~9’ x ~5’ frame, fastened with headlok 4-1/2", 16" on center.
- Left top open, no torsion skin, at least until solid base/legs are built, at which point Janksy can self surface/tram.
- Used 10’ 1"x 6" (actual size… 3/4" x 5.5") primed finger joint pine for Y rails. Would have used Melamine if could easily source long enough material.
- Let Y axis run past front end of the table to enable easier bit change access. Plus saved some cuts and the kit’s belt was just long enough to reach.
No legs, probably getting short term casters. Still figuring out how to hoist onto side against the wall when not in use.
Next steps:
- Figure out vertical storage, need functional parking bay.
- Surface top, calibrate, make some struts. Seal and pretty up.
- Ramping up on Paulk, and similar builders/makers ideas for worktop/workshop stuff.
Cheers!
