Great tutorial Paw Paw. I didn't realize the project saved all the different cuts into one file. Now that makes it real easy. I was making separate files! Thank you for such a clear explanation.
You need to keep it coming. I need a more in depth video of where when i want my engranving done with the v bit but instead it will try and cut my bowl out with a v bit also.
I have numerous videos showing the changing of the bits. Two stage carving and even more bit changes are possible with each workpiece added as necessary. Thanks for watching. If you have specific questions I’ll try and answer them
Great video! One note after watching the first 7 min. Before 7 min you move pieces out, delete everything under and move it back and type in coordinates. If you would have copied the black pieces ( Ctrl-C), delete them and the gray pieces, then Ctrl+V, the black pieces would have been copied back to the same locations. Same way you can copy pieces between workpieces.
Great tutorial Phillip, good variety of inlay methods. Looking forward to seeing Easel doing a V-Carve inlay soon, shame there isn't an automated tool for achieving this!
Great tutorial. The only thing that would make it easier for adding in-lays. Instead of deleting the old picture, put the pocket where you want it, send it to the back and then delete the picture when its on top.
It all depends on the detail you are trying to achieve. This was done with an 1/8” straight. Make sure whatever you choose, you the same bit throughout. If painting leave more clearance. Mine are actually a little tight
Hi, I love watching your videos because you explain everything very well. But when I try the inlay app my cutout has yet to fit. I’m using an 1/8 straight cut bit and I made sure the inlay is cutting on the line. I even tried to change the tolerance to .01 and it still doesn’t fit. What am I doing wrong.
If the inlay already doesn’t fit wouldn’t cutting outside the line just make it worse. when I said doesn’t fit I mean it won’t go in at all. @@PawPawsWorkShop
Great video. I do have a question tho. Am i mistaken that you used some easel features that are only available as paid pro features? Specifically, the font and V bit
@@PawPawsWorkShop please understand that I'm not a troll and do appreciate your content. I'm just trying to confirm that most of the final product was a result of the paid Pro option and not available with the free version? Btw, thank you for the quick response 🏆
actually most of this video can be done with easel basic. The pro features are the VCarve and the additional fonts. There are a few other features that really don’t apply to this video
Great video. This answered a bunch of questions. I have seen some videos where a hole for a pin is drilled to mark the different positions for tiling. Does Easel have that function?
Thanks for replying. I was using the inlay software. I tried a different design and it seemed to work fine. Must have been something I the file I was using.
Do you find you need to increase the tolerance because you're painted the inlay? If it fit nicely with that bare wood, does it get to tight after spraying? Thank you
Hi Paw Paw. I'm a new subscriber. I'm in the market for a CNC and I was interested in the fox alien. In your opinion do you think it would be sufficient to cut guitar bodies?? Any info would be helpful. Thanks.
It’s very capable of doing the carving. I do not know the size of the guitar bodies so make sure that it will fit on the wasteboard of the machine. If not you will need a larger cnc

You are so welcome! Glad it helped you

I’m loving the app tutorials! I’ve already made a box!
Awesome.
You explain everything very well. Great projects
Thank you very much
Excellent Tutorial! The link to the project for Easel users makes this a Christmas 2021 project for sure!
Awesome
Amazing piece of work. Thanks for sharing
You’re very welcome
Love it Learned quite a lot from this video
That’s fantastic! My job is done

@@PawPawsWorkShop I hope you don't misunderstand, I love your videos, just want to be sure I understand the steps.
Love the inlays. Very nicely done, great description. Thanks.
Thank you very much

Yes, that would work also. Thanks
Thank you!
My pleasure
Great video! Just wondering what the bit size was used for the inlays? I'm assuming the same 16th bit

Cut on the outside not on the line.
If the inlay already doesn’t fit wouldn’t cutting outside the line just make it worse. when I said doesn’t fit I mean it won’t go in at all. @@PawPawsWorkShop
Where did you get your 16th inch bit?
Mine were from Inventables. But there are other sources on Amazon and others
Great video. I do have a question tho. Am i mistaken that you used some easel features that are only available as paid pro features? Specifically, the font and V bit
There is a selection of fonts for the basic easel. The Pro version of Easel has many more forts available. VCarve is a Pro feature

Yes, just add the holes into your design at the appropriate location and diameter.
God Bless you
Thank you
Hi I'm new to all this . How do you save all the separate stages of your cuts to be able to cut ! Thanks
Hi, I see you are using a 16 inch bit, but what kind of bit is it?
These bits came from the Inventables website
Question at 8 min: why didn't you use the inlay app separately for the 2 pieces? Seems you have to deal with them being coupled later.
Good point. That would work just fine also
Paw - my inlays are not aligning. Any idea why they do not fit?
Are you cutting on the path or cutting on the outside?

@@PawPawsWorkShop sure it'll fit. Thank you for the response.

Ugh, what’s to old, the video, the topic, me. Lol. Thanks for watching
