I recently decided to outsource some of my processes to a CNC guy and I think it will prove to be a good choice. The amount of work I can save while achieving more consistent results and creating less sawdust to clean up and dispose of sounds like a dream. I’m admittedly more attracted to the “arts and crafts” side of things than becoming a skilled woodworker.
People who debate CNC use seem to forget, you can use it as much or as little as you want. You can use it just for the outline, or for the outline and cavities, or just the cavities, or for the whole process from blank to a touch perfect finish if you want to wait for it to go over everything 20 times. It's just another tool in the arsenal
Hey Dave - another great video!!! It pays to think really carefully about why and when to use the CNC though. For instance in the time it takes to set the machine up just to flatten one side of each piece you could flatten them with your hand plane. Not only does it take some pressure off your CNC motor bearings but it gives you a good work out. I look forward to your next vid. Regards Dave
Nice Dave, I will get there. I want a CNC eventually. I've got to learn more basic skills before adding another "curve" to the process. Great video my friend. Happy times! ✌️
For squaring up a piece of wood, I never understood swapping machines I already own that do the job in 15 minutes to trying to use the cnc into an hour.. I already own the joiner plane and the barrel sander… I sane the operating hours of Mr cnc for carving only.. I get a kick out of someone spending hours, trying to same minutes.. don’t throw out the tools you have that have one job that do it well for one machine that does everything half way.. I built my first guitar with a saw, chisel and sandpaper.. I still use them, but far less. I use a CNC for carving only!
Picked up some great points. Going to try tiling. I've been making necks at a 45 degree angle, and it's a pain. Tiling may be the better way. The only thing I'm not sure about is 3D modeling and tiling... need to look into that. Using Aspire. Your jigs and helpers are very cool, going to appropriate them. I have the same Nextwave Shark HD510 with the water cooled spindle... so what you do is perfectly appropriate to what I'm trying to do... again, thanks. Awesome stuff.

Nice demo and explanation of your process of figuring out how to use the CNC machine. Thanks
This great Dave, thanks for this series.
awesome video! very helpful, thank you.

Great video again Dave!
hey david what moisture meter is that .love the video and thanks so much for sharing your knowledge
have fun learning how to use the new toy!
Another journey working with technology 👍💯

Thanks brother. This cnc thing is pretty cool but it does come with a pretty steep learning curve.

Yeah the tiling works great once you understand the concept. Next wave has some good tutorials on the subject
Please make a video of your drying box.
Yes I need to do that possibly when the ggbo guitar is through
@@eworcustomguitars Yeah I'm really interested in the drying box too!
Please start an Instagram account. I saw your guitars at Mobtown last week...very nice!!!
Thanks Michael I actually have an instagram account I just need to start posting. Glad you went to Mobtown it’s a cool place!
Do you have an email address? I'd love to discuss a build.
