Custom Wooden Piggy Banks: V2 Release

I’m happy to announce the custom wooden piggy banks v2 release for our rounded offerings, it has been a long time coming and well over a year of fixing, optimizing and production lessons all put together to make the absolute best custom banks SandboxRanch.com has ever produced in our shop.

Custom wooden piggy banks are a popular way for people to save their money in a stylish and personalized way, and SandboxRanch.com fabricates each and every one of them from rough sawed kiln dried lumber, regardless of the species they are made from.

If you aren’t into letters, let us make any shaped bank you want!

These custom wooden piggy banks are not only functional, but also add a unique touch to any room they are placed in and as they are made on-demand, can be further customized to suit just about any occasion as they can be any size, wood species and finished in just about any color you can imagine.

There are a wide variety of designs and finishes available, so there is sure to be a piggy bank that matches the decor of any room or the personality you are giving this custom wooden piggy bank to.

The journey to get to this point and literally make the absolute best custom banks I’ve ever gone has taken more than a year, and the changes that this alone has brought to my shop have been tremendous, from new equipment to setting-up our own shipping department, it’s incredible what an idea can spawn.

The glue-up you see being done at SandboxRanch.com is the process we perform for each and every custom wooden piggy bank that we make, from the rough sawed lumber, they are cut into sticks then using our CNC router, made square and parallel for the final slab that will then become custom banks.

This processing of raw lumber to finished product in our shop means that every aspect of these custom wooden piggy banks is controlled, monitored and optimized for our clients, each one is completely unique, like a fingerprint but using modern equipment, repeatable enough to be affordable and yet, endlessly customizable at any stage of production.

My goal with SandboxRanch.com is to bring a little custom to everybody’s lives, and I think these banks are a fantastic way of accomplishing this goal.

Custom wooden piggy banks is that they can be personalized in a number of ways, where some people choose to have their name or initials engraved on the bank, others may opt for a specific design or symbol that has personal meaning to them, this is why SandboxRanch.com offers more than just letters on our site and can make custom shapes as well to best suit the receiver.

Custom wooden piggy banks by SandboxRanch.com are designed to be super sturdy and durable, my goal with making these isn’t to just make a bank, but a generational bank, something that will last a very long time and be something that can be handed down later and cherished over a lifetime.

The machine you see below here is a 12 000 pound beast, it’s wicked overkill for this application but that means that what comes off the table of our CNC router is almost ship-ready, saving a ton of time that would otherwise be used for sanding.

I came-up with custom rounded banks after releasing the square ones because I wanted something that didn’t have any sharp angles, not everybody likes that style and so, the contrast offers you an alternative whether it’s for decor or financial keepsake reasons.

There are many different ways to use a custom wooden piggy bank beyond just as a cool birthday gift for children of all ages.

For children, it can be a fun and educational way to learn about money and the importance of saving while for parents can encourage their children to save a portion of their allowance or earnings, and periodically help them count and deposit the money in the piggy bank.

Having a tool changer is a life changer for these custom wooden piggy banks production wise, in the picture above, you can get an idea of the tool pathing that I’ve programmed and thus, is being followed perfectly by our CNC router.

What I enjoy about making custom shaped banks is the endless variety of what our customers come-up with, you want a butterfly bank, a revolver bank or a mountain shaped bank, SandboxRanch.com can make it!

Regardless of whether you are an adult or a child, a custom wooden piggy bank by SandboxRanch.com helps to instill good financial habits and can set the stage for responsible money management.

For adults, custom wooden piggy banks can be a way to save up for specific goals or purchases, such as a vacation or a down payment on a house as by regularly depositing money into the piggy bank, people can see their savings grow over time and feel a sense of accomplishment as they work towards their goal.

So there you have it, custom wooden piggy banks are the perfect gift for a wide variety of reasons and personalities, and SandboxRanch.com offers you endless ways to make it a personalized and individualized gift for just about anybody.

No two banks made at SandboxRanch.com are the same, each one has a different wood grain, texture and finishing option, in addition to different colored front window options.

Now that the machining end of things is done with these custom wooden piggy banks, it’s time to go back to using power tools and cut them out of the slab I created days ago.

You’ll notice these wooden banks have a skin at the bottom, it is yet another aspect of production that I’ve added, along with endless other improvements through the year, to make sure that these banks do not move, as any movement means more sanding by me!

Once I’ve removed the skin on all of these using my table router, the next step is to review each one of them and see if there are any areas that need extra attention such as a little sanding.

There are many ways to make custom wooden piggy banks, I hope these videos and photos show you just how much evolution has happened at SandboxRanch.com for these over the past year.

Once everything is perfect, it’s time to use the laser to cut out the front windows of all these custom wooden piggy banks, in this case, they aren’t engraved yet, I generally do this for SandboxRanch.com customers afterwards as it makes placement easier to see the entire finished piece.

The reason the front windows aren’t transparent is because they still have a protective masking on both sides, generally, I leave this on for shipping to protect it, it’s easy enough to remove for SandboxRanch.com customers.

You can now see the successful finish of these custom wooden piggy banks made by SandboxRanch.com.
