Hey great video. I purchased a Cricut 2 years ago for my lovely wife. That exact model. She loves it. Now.....because of the cricut she watched this video with me. She cringed watching Chris weed the vinyl without the "weeding tool". I told her if Chris really wanted one he'd have one. I am encouraged where this is the first ever guitar building video she has ever watched with me. Nice job.
I’m currently looking for custom vinyl logos for a headstock without much luck and then just remembered my wife has a cricut. I’m going to give it a try.
I used to work for a sign shop as their vynl guy for about 4 years. It would be easier to weed the excess off first (leave the part you are gonna use on the backing) and use transfer tape to tape over the sticker. They make small rolls of transfer tape that is see through. That way you dont have to fight the adhesive when pulling out centers to letters. Give it a shot and you can thank me later. Cool video!
I had ordered some logos printed on clear vinyl and they were really damn expensive. A while back my sister told me she could make me some on her Cricut and they came out great! I had been using them as paint stencils but I think I’m going to use the lettering as a decal instead. Great video Matt and Chris.
I've been using a Cricut for headstock logos for about 3 years. Perfect every time. I do them as a sticker and for stencils. For inlays, I do a stencil and route it out.
I haven't tried to cut water slide material on my plotter. I print on clear water slide paper. How would I cut it exactly the same way it was printed? Sounds like a lot of work.
@@TexanUSMC8089 its no different than a laser or cnc machine. It depends on the graphic. One color is real simple. You can waste ink and print the whole area in a single color or what I do is is just make my logo 1.5 larger. Its a feature in adobe I just do in one click. Then cut as usual and have a colored slide. I like to use hologram powders to create special effects in the logo. Theres one that looks like diamonds hitting the light. Anyhow if its an imagine I just being it up in Adobe and click trace. I isolate the outline. That file inagine is the same size as the the piece of paper I put into the plotter. So I can print it. Cut it down to that size and just insert and cut the traced image I created in Adobe. It really is just a few clicks. Theres no guesswork. Just look at each piece of work as its own size. I work with 2"x3" alot. I print an image in that area then cut the traced image in the same area. Look at the printer like a plotter. Its the same thing in two different machines thats all.
My wife has a Cricut and I’ve used it to cut a template for carving a headstock. You can get a deep cut blade to cut through thicker card stock. Would love to see a video on how you do the routing on the headstock that you were holding at the beginning of the video! Looks awesome!
I use waterslides as well as a cricut. It does make good vinyl decals but its not great for very small decals i have found. Also the vinyl is quite thick compared to waterslide so it can be a pain to cover if I'm applying an oil finish
Interesting weeding method. I do a lot of my own decals (or decles if I race up North) and I weed them while they are still on the backing paper, then apply the transfer tape (or masking tape in Chris' case), then peel the backing off. It's way easier to weed off of the backing paper because it's less sticky. 😉
I've owned a Silhouette Cameo for about 6 years, and it works great !! My wife bought it for me when she saw I was struggling with headstock decals myself. I use it for everything from headstock decals, to vinyl decals for my son's cars, to making my silk-screens up for T-shirt printing. It's a great tool !! OH, Chris, you need to get a roll of clear transfer tape & a weeding tool ! I just use a tooth-pick and an x-acto knife... It will make your life sooooo much easier !
This is good stuff. My wife has a Cricut and she makes all kinds of stuff. Randomly I’ll need a decal or make for painting just like you described. She knocks it out in a few minutes and we are good to go! I hope you guys have good luck with the foil. That will make your logos really pop!
I use my old Cricut Explorer to make stencils for headstock logos. I use Oracal 813 as the stencil material. It works great once you get your settings locked in. I like painted logos because your color choice is virtually unlimited. Five or six coats of Brite Tone over the top and it looks great.
I would like to add, that depending on the vinyl used, there is a critical minimum size for the lettering one can cut. The machine will not allow for tiny lettering, simply as a limitation during the tweening of the logo/design. The smaller the letters (Like e, o, a, B etc, with open center sections, the harder it is for the machine to do a good cut job. So, if that is a concern, THEN one should consider the use of water slide paper printing. Other than that, the Cricut plotter is the tool for the job, hands down!
Great! Now I need that too (the exact answer to my logo problems). I think I might go for the smaller one, though. The want list keeps getting longer. And I thought G.A.S was bad....Now I have TAS too...
Been thinking of one of these machines for exactly this. Glad to know it works as well as I hoped it would! The tutorials for it online are borderline useless in comparison to show what you did. Looks like I'm buying a new tool!
@@TexasToastGuitars Looks like I need to upgrade mine. Mine has to be connected to Cricut’s web site to cut and doesn’t use the super sharp blades yours does.
Custom Vinyl Graphics are popular here in my part Appalachia, especially windows. I had some made for back glass of my F250 I had over a decade ago. Possibly are endlessly.
I have a vinyl cutter that is 24 inches wide. I use it to do t-shirts, window stickers, and signs. I cut out some pin striping for my telecaster. I have on top of the finish, that way I can change it when I want. And yes I cringed at Chris weeding. My go to is an xacto knife and a pair of glasses with magnification.
Thanks for sharing. I loved it. It was funny for me thinking that it was like watching paint dry. Don't mind me though, keep it coming, I"m right there vacuuming up all this great info.
I had some rub-on logos made (think Press Types from decades ago). The first 50 cost me $180.00, the next 50 will be about $85. Makes the Cricit seem like a bargain. I dig your vids, thanks!
Hey Matt & Chris, Thank you for showing this That’s a really cool machine, I hope you guys get a kickback from cricket when I buy mine. You guys Rule💪💪💪💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸👨🏻🦯
Ich mache das auch so, ich habe einen Plotter von Curio den Silhouette. Ich benutze aber Tranferfolie um die Buchstaben zu lösen. Danach lackierte ich alles farblos über. Translate with google😁
That’s Way Cool Matt & Chris. I wondered how You guys made your logos. Thanks for the content. Now I’m going to wait 10 minutes and go to the Nut Making Class!
@@TexasToastGuitars i save all my stuff to an external drive i dont useed ther cloud bassed library. and plus u dont have to be connected to tyhe internet out side your house or buisness . plus you can get afternart blade holders i have dif a cb9o blade holder take that brand only and i have a better blade holder 2.0 it will use cricit blades ands roland bladesany blade that looks like a shart round bl;ade it will use it use those for reakl intacit desgins and small stuff.ive cut washburn dime signature series headstock lkogos 3mm little letters it cut but weeding is a bitch to a bitch. lets justy say out 6 i got 2 workable logos lol.
Btw, if you want more precision out of your Cricut cutting machine I offer a mod package for the Explore Air 2 for the CNC head and an upgraded blade housing that reduces slop on the machine from .040" down to .004" for really accurate logos.
I broke down and bought one to try it out. I went with your way, just how you do it. I think I like this better. Thanks for the great videos! Hey Matt still have that planer? Im in need of one. Thanks again
@@TexasToastGuitars cricuts web page has shit on sale now. I scooped up some 180" rolls for like $9. Check it out. Have you explored other brands of vinyl?
How do you guys level the clear coat after putting the cricut decal? The decal always ends up higher than the entire headstock, I have a hard time making an even levelled finish for the entire headstock.
Great video. I'm testing my first headstock using a cricut this week. How many coats of poly do you usually need before you stop feeling the vinyl? I'm using wipe on poly and normally with decals, I would lightly sand between coats but I'm on my 4th coat now and I still would not dare to sand it. I'm afraid it will damage the vinyl. Thanks.
This is perfect! Thanks. I do have a question about a locking nut for a Floyd Rose. I have a strat with a 9.5 neck radius and a locking nut with a 10.0 radius. Should I file the string slots on the locking nut to get the neck radius of 9.5? What do you recommend?
@@TexasToastGuitars Thanks for the reply. When I tried a wet slide decal it was hard to fill the valley's with clear coat. When I wet sanded I cut through the clear coat into the decal trying to get an even surface. I guess it's a matter of practice?
There should have been a weeding tool in the box. Way easier than a razor. Vinyl life span is only a few years. Would be interesting to see how it looks a few years down the road.
No tool but I doubt it would be that much easier. You could always look at some of the guitars we made several years ago and see how it holds up. We have never had an issue
I’ll check and see if I still have any more of my weeding knife tools & send you one if I do. Do y’all bury the decal with clear or do they stand a bit proud?
We put 3-4 coats of our clear on them. Don't send a weeding tool. I don't like them. I have 100+ razor blades floating around, so there is always one at hand. I only have 1 weeding tool, and it's always lost.:)
After you spray clear over it, do you sand/buff it enough that you can't see the outline of the sticker if the light hits it just right or do you not care about that?
I don't know exactly how thick they are but one certainly could bury it with clear. It isn't as easy to bury as a waterslide decal or paint... but it can be done.
Does the vinyl ever have issues with spraying clear over top? I have a plotter and might give this a try. Always worries about the clear and didnt want to just stick them on with no cover over.
Thats how I do it with water slide paper. What ever clear im using I shoot onto the paper first then apply it and shoot over it all. Im not sure how the vinyl take paint by itself
@@TexasToastGuitars i mean, I'm a fan of the channel, just saying. Do notice every comment since says "my wife has this". But no, your right. Its a "bad machine!"
can you build me a b.c. rich zombie body with drill holes for a hardtail system les paul style please get back to me for a price for the build the price for shipping to australia
Got a question on the Cricut. Do you need a subscription with them in order to use it? Because when I was looking at them, they claimed you had to pay a monthly fee or it wouldn't work.
Totally thought I was the only one who did this! Haha. I do my headstock logos and my pickguards. You can see how I do the pickguards on my Instagram, @ryanvatz. Lame insta plug I know, but they turn out pretty cool.
Great video guys but just for info, it’s pronounced cry-cut, not “cricket” as it is a CUTting machine and does not involve silly men hitting a small ball with a bat. 😊
I watched this video with my wife as well. I got her the same model for Christmas this year. We've been watching the "Mr. Crafty Pants" you tube channel to learn how to use it, and he has some videos about using it for wood burning. I can only imagine what you guys could do with this technique! Here's a link to one of the videos: ruclips.net/video/5FoQxM1vKGk/видео.html
Some computer controlled cutting machine, doing the work automatically, based on some programming, no thanks. I like work that's actually done by human hands, where it takes talent and developed skills.

Does the vinyl ever have issues with spraying clear over top? I have a plotter and might give this a try. Always worries about the clear and didnt want to just stick them on with no cover over.

can you apply the decal on a headstock that is already clearcoated and then add more clear over top?

Do you need a subscription with them in order to use it? Because when I was looking at them, they claimed you had to pay a monthly fee or it wouldn't work.
Only if you use their fonts - but loading your own art is free.
@@texastoastchris Thanks!
Now I just need to find who has Mother of Toilet seat vinyl.
I KNOW!
That would be super cool
Totally thought I was the only one who did this! Haha. I do my headstock logos and my pickguards. You can see how I do the pickguards on my Instagram, @ryanvatz. Lame insta plug I know, but they turn out pretty cool.
It's a no brainer
Can you print me out some eyes, that I can put on my eye lids? That way people will think I'm paying attention to them while I'm sleeping.
How about some special glasses
Great video guys but just for info, it’s pronounced cry-cut, not “cricket” as it is a CUTting machine and does not involve silly men hitting a small ball with a bat. 😊
HA your first CNC machine --
Now tell me how sexy it is
I picture you as more of a silk screen guy.. Old school tools@@TexasToastGuitars
That moment when you realize the neck Matt's holding at the end says Elephant Dick
No that's not real... is it?
@@TexasToastGuitars 10:08 That's what it looks like, anyway.
@@thebox2k no it says baby elephant dick lmao thats totally different 🤣🤣
I watched this video with my wife as well. I got her the same model for Christmas this year. We've been watching the "Mr. Crafty Pants" you tube channel to learn how to use it, and he has some videos about using it for wood burning. I can only imagine what you guys could do with this technique! Here's a link to one of the videos: ruclips.net/video/5FoQxM1vKGk/видео.html
nice comercial fellas ☻
Glad you liked it
$600-$700 in the UK 😒
Really?
One google search found it in the UK for £209. I think they hide them behind the double sided tape.
@@texastoastchris HAHAHAHA Someone will make a killing one day
Who's the dipstick that gave this a thumbs down?
I'm sure it was some guy I offended on Instagram
Some computer controlled cutting machine, doing the work automatically, based on some programming, no thanks. I like work that's actually done by human hands, where it takes talent and developed skills.
Me too
TOASTRITE!!!
They are moving out man
