Instant sub dude. Dying fetus is my shit 😂
Nice been a fan for a good while now myself!
Great job! Excellent idea!
Im using units mm/min 11.78 mm/min for MDF. Question is how should i enter this into my software, im using rhinocam, do i enter 1178? 11.78 is way too slow…
I'm honestly not familiar with rhinocam very much so I would hate to give wrong suggestions.
Will/Did the one you made for Struggle have the Scruggs tuner / Keith D banjo tuner on the low E like Waylon’s? Thanks for the awesome video! Subbed!
After talking to Stuggle a few times about it and getting the concept down we actually lost contact. I still have the rough plans for his guitar and have been trying to get back in touch but with no success unfortunately.
@@JBirdCustomsthanks for the reply!!probably safe to share the specs by now. I know many folks would be interested including myself. I’d love one with the Scruggs Banjo 🪕 tuner then move the Low E peg to the A slot…you can then gauge the converted A string with a thicker E string ..then of course keep the lower strings suoer lights string joy is my favorite and they’ll customize any set, handmade in Nashville (promoting solely as a fan and they’ll help custom gauge string sets of all kinds. Thank you again!
@@JBirdCustoms bummer! Thanks for the reply; sorry the delay on my end. Keep moving forward, it’s clear you’re passionate about your work! 🎸 ✌️
Where is the internal engraving that is shown in the thumbnail?
That's a business card not an engraving... but I can make another video showing how to do that if you want one!
@JBirdCustoms Sorry. It looked like an engraving. Trying to get Easel to do a tray with a raised engraving on the bottom.
@JOATology ua-cam.com/video/XYV8NkJapm8/v-deo.htmlsi=Q3bFncEiKp--smMZ check out this video from two moose designs! They do a great job of explaining it as well! I have done a few projects like this and use the same method.
@JBirdCustoms Thanks bud!
does easel has same feature as aspire vectric has? Like 2.5D Text cad cam?
Easel is super basic compared to aspire vectric! However there's so much that can be done with easel despite being very basic.
@@JBirdCustoms can it be use to engraving the text on wood?
Yes
Got a set wish I had bought ,ore. Maybe not so great on wood but I use them on my plastic models and they are just the right sharpness for that. Cut like butter without digging too far into the plastic.
love the videos..im putting my x-carve together now (just about done) i got some STL files for 3d. Im wanting to do necks on the xcarve.. Wondering about doing both sides. does it tell you to flip the piece over? Does it tell you when to change bits? how about that speed... wouldnt it be faster on the finishing? seems like there wouldnt be as much wood to cut

Looks really cool I’m sure that’s gonna be a fantastic shop! Cheers Dave
Man I appreciate that but unfortunately it didn't work out... I really need to put an updated video out! We ended up homeless shortly after this video but doing OK now
Kroger
Now go feed your family all the garbage you bought
Makes good sense
She time traveled back 5 years, payed for the food, then snapped back to the present.
But I'm a he...
Okay you saved but do you have meals planned for the whole week ?
That's exactly how we do it. We look at what's on sale then make a meal plan around what's on sale!
@@JBirdCustomsI need to take a page out of your book
@@JBirdCustoms are you getting your coupons from the app?
That one was yes digital scanned coupons on the Kroger app
The real question is what are you gonna do with that much beef! Jerky?
Ya all stuff you would never regularly buy
Actually it's all beef on sale for $1.77/lb
Hey Jesse You definitely are one of My Very Favorite Easel instructors So Appreciate All You do for us!
I appreciate that! I'm wanting to do more but life happens and haven't been in the shop much lately!
Hey man! I just discovered your channel and this awesome series on using Easel for guitars, great stuff, this helped me a ton! Question though: If I wanted to have the CNC drill out the holes for the strings/bridge, how would I go about putting that in the design? Or is that easier to do manually after the guitar body is cut? I see the CADD drawings have the string holes and I've played around with that a little, but I'm not sure if everything will line up perfectly once it's all done. Might have to cut a few prototypes to test. Maybe I just answered my own question lol. Either way thank you!
Nice!
Thanks!
Just use the bit on you router table. I see others using overhead routers but I use my regular router table no issues.
how easy is it to rout the guitar after you import the file into easel? i found files on etsy that have all the STL files for strat/tele/etc
They might be my files on Etsy as I do have a few in there... As far as routing them it's all about the setup. Making sure it's clamped down well and then just a matter of hitting start
What’s the name of your Etsy store?

More easel bro. This one was bad ass thx Jody
I have been meaning to do more and this just might be the reason I do more!! Thanks
very clever idea thumbs up.. thanks
They increase prices for everything, so they can get your info for membership. It’s an illusion
gotta love the ol' kroger
Love my glarrys
AZ in the house!!! I’m down in Tucson
We up north in the prescott area!
It's not a mystery at all how these guitars are made for under $100 as Glarry is located in Fuzhou City Fujian China Cheap wood, cheap metal parts, low cost labor, and modern manufacturing methods (CNC) all make this possible. While these make a great cheap starter guitar, far better than the budget department store junk available back in the 1970's and 1980's that I remember from someplace like Woolworths, the excitement about these guitars eludes me. Sure you could change out the pickups, the tuners, and the bridge but you still have lousy wood and a neck diver isn't always easily fixed by moving strap buttons.
Does it take distortion, overdrive and fuzz?
You pointed way too many flaws, LyxPro sent me a $99 immaculate piece of art, I would buy another LyxPro any day with confidence.
What’s the number??
Oof
Dude. You still Need More Clamps!
wow! how did you do that?!

Colorado?
Just out of curiosity, how long did it take and what were your cutting settings? Feed rate, Plunge rate, and Depth per pass? Great video, thanks for sharing!
Honestly I don't really remember how long it took but wasn't very long. Couple of minutes. Each machine is different so my rates may be much slower than what another machine can handle but may also be to fast for others. Dialing your feeds is a tricky thing and something that you'd really have to find where your machines runs best
Yes!!! I'm ready!!! Well not really. But I could get ready pretty quickly. LET'S DO THIS!!!
Just found your channel as I was looking at these Glarry gtrs too. Neck dive was a worry for me. You mentioned moving the strap buton to compensate. Could you explain where to move the strap buttons to try to fix this issue? Thanks.
There a few different spots... I usually will put it on the top right neck bolt if I don't want to drill extra holes or move the bottom one up about an inch
@@JBirdCustoms thanks
Its cute
how to cut out the whole thing like it is in a frame ??
I'm not quite sure I understand your question... you could just make a rectangle around the entire image to create a frame and have that cut all the way through so the "frame" is even or line up the cutting area and zero your machine as accurate as possible.
Im following along with your great video, but Im at a point where if I select anything to delete, it also selects other lines that I want to keep. Holding shift and clicking doesnt help. Any idea on how to get past this. Im doing this on a laptop without a mouse - could that be the issue?
@@JBirdCustoms Thanks for the reply. how would i select line by line?
Clicking on each on individually... like I said it would take a lot longer but it's doable.
@@JBirdCustoms Yeah. thats what im doing, and it seems to select paths all over the guitar . :(
Stud
Great job, yes more
Did you make a video of the sharpened tools? I bought the pack n used it once on a small project n when I used it again the edges had been demolished, some were rolled, dented, and all were dull. I thought about sharpening them to see if I could revive them. But lemme know if you did
You have building plans for this? Id pay you
Waylon mainly gear was a 1953, and a 1959, and the guitar you put together is all shiny, no relic, and the Bigsby? 🤦🏻
Inspired and ….Also made with love 🤘
