BUILDING a DIY Electric Guitar From a 2x4!!!
In this video I show you how I built an Explorer-style electric guitar out of 2x6, 1x6, and a little bit of walnut from Home Depot (I know I lied a little with the title, but it's the same wood, just a different dimension). The guitar isn't the best guitar, as it's the first guitar I've ever made, and it's made out of wood that isn't the best for guitars. This is more meant to be a practice guitar for me, so I can figure out how to make them, and I want to make more in the future. That being said, it's still a fully playable guitar, with a 25.5" scale length, and 24 frets. It's got the cheapest electronics money can buy, but it still sounds okay.
I don't have a lot of tools, so I just kind of had to make what I had work, so sorry if I used some stuff in the "wrong" way.
If you'd like to build any of my projects (the ones that actually have templates), check out my Etsy store: aeropointindustries.etsy.com

How to Make an INCREDIBLE Shrek Knight Helmet from Cardboard!!!
Переглядів 3423 місяці тому
In this video I show you how I made a knight helmet like the one Shrek wears in Shrek the Musical, out of cardboard. It looks pretty dang good if I do say so myself, especially since it was made out of materials that can legit be found in the garbage. I made the original helmet 2 years ago for a production of Shrek the Musical, and I also made a video for it around the same time, but it was pre...

In this video I show you how I made a Tom Holland Spiderman Mask using pretty accessible materials and tools. It uses a 3D printed faceshell and lenses, some stretchy fabric, puffy paint, and a little creativity to make. I was largely inspired by Sean's Crafts on UA-cam to make this helmet, and even used some of his techniques to make it, so if you haven't seen that video, check it out at ua-ca...

    I tend to overthink when it comes to my bass builds because I "lack" some specific tools (planner, drum sander, band saw, etc.). this video says to me "stop thinking in what you are missing and start doing with what you have". What a great build and skills you have man, cheers!!

    As someone who built their first guitar back in 1985 with basically the same tools as you did and I have since acquired all the power tools needed to do better I think you did a wonderful job! I can only imagine what great guitars you'll be making decades from now! Very impressive my friend! Don't stop being creative or let your lack of tools stop you, I got the majority of my tools from pawn shops and garage sales and it took me a while but they will only help you build easier and quicker! I still have that guitar, hope you have this one forty, fifty years from now, it's awesome! Great video and playing btw!

    why not glue the 2x6 pieces together first and then jigaw out the shape? how did you ensure the pieces that needed to be glued together were cut straight with no gaps?

    @trollponch 20 днів тому

    bro, this is very nice and really awesome, but I think you should remove the jokes (like the intro) and the random edits (like the finger snpa) and just go for the smooth woodwork with nice music on the background. Maybe add some subtitles and aim for a more "introvert" audience. Keep it up bro!

    @josiahlee1982 24 дні тому

    Dude fir , pine, and cedar ( which are 2x4s etc ) are notorious for warping etc after they are cut. Home Depot wood is bottom of the barrel. That guitar will be a mangled twisted mess in a year or less. There is a reason no guitar manufacturers use those woods.

    • @AeroPointIndustries
      @AeroPointIndustries 24 дні тому

      @josiahlee1982 yeah I know. That's why it was a practice guitar

  • @jamestunedflat8942
    @jamestunedflat8942 24 дні тому

    Micing up a drum kit is very difficult, so mixing can be a real pain in the butt. If only for your demos, a cheap e drum kit can be recorded directly to your computer and doesn't have any volume or mixing issues to deal with. Or you can just use samples, but that kills any of the human swing that comes from actually using the drums. I've been thinking about making a guitar like that for years, but for the neck, I was thinking a pine and cedar composite would give me the best outcome, but I didn't think about using a walnut fretboard. I've always loved how the explorer looks, and yours is a beauty.

    Great build, I'd suggest getting a full sized cnc machine, you'd have to place it in a factory, source your wood from some really exotic forest, have custom templates and hire a Gibson master builder to help get the feel right on the neck......oh. 😂😂Seriously though, Great build, looks really nice and the switch is actually where you want it to be. I'm jealous.

    a nice trick to use when glueing pieces together to keep them from sliding around is to use tiny nails. just hammer it in one side, then snip the head off and put the pieces together, the nail acts as a pin to keep the pieces from sliding around
