impossible milling machine for my garage ))00

Thanks for the video..

What type is the long router bit you are using on the cnc?

whats that bit you use to contour the fretboard? I'd love to get one just don't know what it's called.

Your YSAC reference just earned you a like. Also, I adore this design and aspire to your level of creativity and dedication.

Are there any benefits of using laminated wood? Is it because it is easier to bend and make it a dome shape?

How do you index the body when you put it back on the CNC? I’m toying with fully hollow but double flip milling frightens me.

I was wondering why your videos were so soothing to watch, then I realised you sound like Richard Dreyfuss when he narrated the movie Stand by me 😂 great work on the fretboards they look great 👍

ever think of doing more of a straight on build type of video where you engage the audience with the actual build and process and tips,trick kind of moving in a linear framework, step one,okay heres some issues i ran into..bla,blah blah,,ya know be more real..instead of some kind of phoney philosophical NPR crap?? I bet your channel would do really well then..

What kinds of wood are needed to build nyckelharpa?

I've only had a CNC for a little bit. Messed up a lot necks, did some upgrades to the machine, gotten a few workable necks, I'm getting better. I've watched your video's time and time again trying to learn how you set these bodies up. I got the Z axis from the spoil board. I set that stupid probe aside (because things turn out better if I Z from the spoil board) and I see you set the Y to the centerline but how do you get the X? I gather you set the bit to the side of the body just enough to cut into it but I feel like I'm missing some info here.. Can you clarify how you get the X-Y Axis? I would really appreciate this because I'm very interested in understanding the way you set this up.. Thanks man (I designed a body today that I want to try and cut out this week) I plan on X-Y from center with a board on the side for a guide and Im drilling index pins using tape and CA glue.

Nice video. What are the dimensions of the router bit you used for the edge milling? thx.

Dude Did you sell bass necks?

Do you sell programs?

Do you sell programs?

How much do you sell the program?

Nice knolling, but- and I'm sure you know- the materials and construction of that pickup aren't Bigsby at all. You gave a P90 some Bigsby cosmetics, it seems. Might sound just fine and pass as a Bigsby visually but it won't sound like the real thing. Yours is similar to how they built the pickups for the reissue Bigsby guitars that Gretsch came out with a while back.

Your modeling is so amazing! I also make modeling with Rhino. Well, to be honest, it's not easy at all. Your video really inspire me to overcome the troubles that is modeling corner of violin. This problem bothers me at least three months. Thank you for sharing your solutions. BTW, I also use CNC to cut a front plate. I highly recommand to finish it automatically because cutting process only takes me three hours.

I'm curious about the fretboard. What did you fill the grooves and markers with? What did you use to seal everything before sanding? I'm building a lap steel now and the fretboard is a challnge

Since you made this 17-part series of your CNC produced copy of the Guaneri 'del Gesu" Vieutemps, you probably have become aware of the CNC copy of a Stradivarius done from actual CT scans of an actual Strad. The team that produced it used carefully selected, aged wood to get as close to the density and grain of the Strad. It was later stained and made to look almost identical to the actual violin by a museum reproduction professional. Later it was presented to a group of violin professionals and music experts at a music seminar. Both the original Strad and the copy were played side by side, without telling the audience which was which. They then voted for which one they thought was the actual Strad. Amazingly, they got it wrong. If nothing else, it proves that CNC produced instruments can, in fact, be very good-sounding instruments. The main difference between the ones being mass-produced primarily in China, and the handmade individually crafted bench violins being made both in China and many other countries, is that the wood quality used for the CNC is not of the exceptional grades that most luthiers seek out when they are going to put the time into hand carving. The cheapest ones also often are flawed by production shortcuts. I have both a Chinese bench made violin ($4,000) and a CNC made Chinese violin ($350). In all honesty, there is a difference in the sound, though the inexpensive one has a decent sound even for performance. The bench made is bit a easier to play and a has warmer tone and is more resonant. As I'm sure you know, there are so many other variables that come into play (string selection, quality of bow hair, rosin, skill level of the player, etc.) that it is very difficult to make a dogmatic claim that CNC violins aren't as good as hand carved. For those who argue that hand carved violins are more "unique", I would reply that most of them are also copies of the most well-known Strads, Guaneri's, Amatis, etc. and show little uniqueness even in the assemblage. The biggest thing that makes them unique is the wood itself... and that can also be true of CNC made violins. For the most part, it is just the hard-core traditionalists who hate to think that one day everyone might be able to afford a great sounding violin, and no one will stand out... which of course isn't true. No matter how much the violins look and sound alike, the skill of the player will always be what makes it truly great.

What name of the white part?

Oh man that channel routing is such an anxiety trip.

really great, but why use such a thickly grained top? sound travels through finely grained wood best. You are a pro, but not in the wood choice sir. thanks for sharing your talent.

Did you crush that mother of pearl into powder? Or, did you buy powder? I ordered some flakes for some small fretboard inlays was looking for powder just wondering..

Man this video is gonna help me tremendously with my LP project coming up.Did you tile the tool path for the headstock?.I'm trying to figure out how to segment the neck up accurately like you do here.Is it just careful measurements and attachments to the spoilboard? Also this is a killer soundtrack,it reminds me of David Rowback's guitar playing! Thanks!

thanks for the great video. I do a lot of woodworking and just got a cnc router, now I'm motivated to make my wife a new guitar.

Great job Sir!!!

Great news! I finally got my first CNC. Ive seen your methods and they make sense to me.. When routing a body on the router table its very important to cut as little material as possible to avoid chip out and kick back.. Thats the entire reason i wanted a CNC.. well that and the ability to do some tiny inlay.. and a quicker method of neck profiling.. okay lots of reasons.. Anyways thanks for the amazing tips and inspiration! Ill be honest half of what you say in describing your methods are spanish to me but im willing to put in the effort and learn this.

I would like to hire you to do that for me if I could.

Would you be interested in designing a half paddle head fender style neck for me in a vetric aspire capable file?

Hi. Are you doing machining in Fusion already or you import 3D model to Aspire or Vectric and do it there? Machining of the back side of the neck is done in 3 phases right, as a separate jobs?( headstock-knee-middle part)Thanks and a great job

An air blower jet pointed at your cutting tool will do wonders. I cant imagine how I managed on my CNC before I had that! If you get a small reciprocating air pump you dont even need a noisy air compressor, just hook the pump to a Mach4 relay and it comes on when your spindle does.

You can also make a neck block and a block for your Bridge Pickup to locate on.

I sure enjoy your videos and have learned a great deal. You seem to use the ball bit in many operation. Just curious what type of bit it is.

This was a really cool insight into the process on a super interesting shape! Great video

I cannot even begin to express my gratitude for all the work that went into this. The amount of effort and care you put into preserving the design intent is nothing short of spectacular. Thanks for doing this, and for sharing your process.

Firstly the so-called purists and nay sayers should just screw off! With detail and further honing of your craft you can produce a concert violin and bring prices in reach of many. Ninety seven percent of the audiences would not hear the difference! Keep up the great work!🙏🙏🙏

Does anyone know where I can get the machining program?

Can you build an 8-string guitar?

That is stunning !!! Well done

Awesome video! question could you make me a paper template for a guitar? I don't have a computer just a phone so I can't do the photoshop method and the guitar I want is obscure so a template isn't really available. Thanks have a good day

Thanks for the mention. There's something that I wish I could go back and add. Note that load distribution is only part of the picture. A frame can only be 'sturdy' along an axis that has diagonal support. A work bench has three axes: length, width, and height; in order to get your bench to be as tough as possible, you should try to get diagonal strength along all three. A plywood top, side panels or gussets, and either front or rear panels/diagonals are all highly recommended for something as important as supporting a CNC machine. Hope it went well!

hi on patreon have you posted the file for viola's fusion 360?

achdumeinegüte!

Looks good. I see no updates in years. Whatever happened to this?

I watch and watch your videos I am just wondering what bits you are using,

These videos are definitely encouraging me to try some guitar making on my CNC!

If I may ask, is this just a standard CNC? Also, how do you make the gears?

I wanted to make a violin using CNC, so I looked for a 3D model and saw your RUclips video. I respect your wonderful modeling. I want to model it the way you told me, but my design ability is not up to that. Is there a way for me to use this model that you designed? If I have to pay you, please let me know how. Thank you.

Fantastic !!
