How I make my negative space laptop stands. I like to combine hand tools with my Shaper Origin to add that human touch. Tools used include Shaper Origin, Ramon Artful's Shaper Probe, and some Zen Wu Y2 chisels Luke kindly gifted me to try out. #woodworking #makersgonnamake #woodshop #craftsman #maker

🎥 THIS WEEK on Sessions: Advanced BenchPilot Applications
Ready to push your BenchPilot past the basics? In this Session, we’re moving beyond the Workstation and exploring Advanced BenchPilot Applications. We’ll dive deep into the Zed Sled for maintaining rock-solid Z-axis consistency on any surface and demonstrate how to utilize BenchPilot on non-traditional setups for those awkward or oversized projects.
We’ll also touch on incorporating 3D carving elements into your workflow without overcomplicating the build. If you're looking to maximize precision outside of a standard fixture, you won't want to miss this.
Sessions is our bi-weekly livestream where we walk through projects, show tips & tricks with Origin, and do giveaways!
Join us at 4pm PDT this Thursday at shapertools.com/sessions or visit the link on our profile.

NEW FEATURE: Radius Tool
Designing tight corners shouldn’t slow you down. With the new Radius Tool in Studio, you can fine-tune your shapes right from the start. When you create a shape, you’ll see a radius setting with presets ready to go, or the option to enter your own custom value.
This is one of those small updates that makes a big difference. Whether you’re working on inlays, joinery, or just trying to clean up a design, you get more control in just a few steps:
• Add a radius to any corner as you build your shape, no extra steps or workarounds
• Use the optional presets, or dial in an exact value when the fit really matters
• You're now ready to cut tighter corners for inlays, joinery, and overall smoother tool paths on Origin
Use the Radius Tool in Studio at studio.shapertools.com today!

The fact that you can do so much on the spot with the shaper is so cool! Creating and making on the spot that’s what i really like with this tool! The reason I do a ‘simple hole’ with the shaper well i have a non common size tenon, so the getbtgat snug fit i used the shaper and plate! #cnc #maker #shaper
🎥 THIS WEEK on Sessions: Elate Table Lamp with Origin
A shade, a base, a cord, a switch. The familiar elements of a traditional light are rearranged to take shape as Elate, a happy table lamp. This week on Sessions, we'll be walking through how to create the Elate Lamp by Leah Amick! Tilted and bent, Elate’s soft angles slant its shade, displaying a playful personality, while a lively colored cord threading through its body adds another cheerful layer.

Drawer pulls with a bold contrast, made from ovankol for the first time and I’m sold. The colors and grain are incredible.
I cut the main shape with the Shaper Origin and finished the chamfer on the router table. I could also do it fully on the Shaper, but I don’t have a large 45° bit without a bearing yet.
Love how these custom pulls that complement the whole piece.

✨ Tischlerhandwerk-Ausbildung neu gedacht: Die @bbs.saarburg.hermeskeil zeigt, wie moderner Unterricht funktionieren kann: selbstorganisiert, praxisnah und mit starken digitalen Tools – ohne das Herz fürs Handwerk zu verlieren. ⬇️
🪚 Von der Idee zum fertigen Werkstück:
Skizze → CAD‑Planung mit @palette_cad → Materialliste → Details mit der Origin von @shapertools fräsen→ Fertigung an der CNC. Echte Projekte, echte Verantwortung, echtes Lernen.
❤️ Und trotzdem bleibt’s Handwerk: Holz, Kreativität und die Geschichten der Auszubildenden, warum sie diesen Weg gewählt haben.
👉 Die ganze Reportage gibt’s auf YouTube bei BM TV, dem Kanal für Schreiner, Tischler und Fensterbauer – jetzt reinschauen und inspirieren lassen!
