Wooden Scoops

Instructions

Here you can find the Studio design so that you can adjust the dimensions to suit your needs: https://hub.shapertools.com/design/687a23bc5ecb586742e77d75 Fix your material on Workstation or use ShaperTape if you are working directly on a larger surface. Make sure you secure your material with enough double-sided tape so that the milled parts don't slip! Cut the Spoon: Place the file for the bottom part; a grid can be helpful, but is not necessary. First, cut the path that will remove the material for the handle as an inner contour. You can do this in one go with the 8 mm cutter. Then cut the outer contour for the spoon to the final depth. I used AutoPass and planned a finishing pass to avoid burn marks as much as possible. Jig: Once you have cut out the desired number of spoons, create a jig in which you can insert the spoons upside down (better said, the right way round ;) ) to cut the bowl/the pocket. Prepare the MDF board, set up your workspace, and place the Spoons_Jig file so that the left end protrudes slightly beyond the edge. This way, you can only insert the head of the spoon, the handle remains outside, and you can easily remove the spoon again. Cut out the file as a pocket. I set an offset of approx. -0.3 mm. Proceed carefully. The spoons should fit well but also be easy to remove. Cut the bowl: I then simply used the probe circle function to create a circle to cut the bowl. I cut his circle as a pocket with an offset of 3.5 mm and a depth of 17,5mm to ensure that a sufficiently thick edge/bottom remains. Plan in a finishing pass to to avoid burn marks. Of course, you can adjust everything your needs. Finish: Sand everything down to a grain size of 250/280 and then oil it. To ensure that it remains food safe, I simply used a little olive oil.
