This is actually a pretty good video, and also in Easel its possible to just click the plus at the very bottom to add a new page to set a different tool for different part of the body, it will easy be frustrating if you´ve got more than 5-6 different pages with different tools, to know what part to do first or what not, so it will be in the right order.
J-Bird, that was an awesome instructional video man. I have been trying to figure out how to make a Strat and now I have the program loaded into my easel. Thanks buddy!
@@kyleconnolly5670 you may have it highlighted without realizing it... sometimes it can be a bit tricky seeing what's all highlighted. If there's a blue box around the body it's selected. You need to make sure the body is not selected when you delete.
Thanks J you just demystified the design process I was expecting a lot of expensive software. I am going to tag this video for future reference. Looking forward to the next part. 👍 I get a lot of "Latest UA-cam posts " from other you tubers I follow maybe you could try doing that as well. It's all about advertising. Cheers.
@@JBirdCustoms Hi J this video might explain it better it is time stamped so you can go straight it ua-cam.com/video/mDFwuHE1wc8/v-deo.html See you in your next video.
That's awesome! Like and subscribed!! Thankyou for all your hard work on this. Do you know if you can take a stock body shape and make alterations to it? If so any chance of a video on that please?
Hi I've watched this video a couple of times and it' very useful as I've been building Guitars for 25 years and I'm always looking at new techniques etc. I've built a cnc router and have been watching FreeCad and Fusion 360 tutorials and have been an Easel Pro user for a year to see what the benefits are, but I've started to question myself, what am I trying to be a Luthier or a CNC operator, the line is starting to get blurred for me, I'd be interested to hear what you think on this
I feel like a cnc is just another tool. I know a lot of people feel it's "cheating" or whatever but it takes time to learn the ins and outs of using a cnc just like using a hand plane or a router and template. I personally like using my cnc to cut profiles and then shaping by hand. I feel like I get the best of both worlds that way. Thanks for checking out the video I appreciate it and thanks for the comment as well!
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?
Possibly... I would probably get frustrated and just delete it line by line one at a time. It sucks and would take longer but is still an option to getting it done.
Awesome lesson
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!
You just made a 4 hour fusion 360 lesson into 30min, well done and thank you.
Thanks check out the follow up video where I actually cut it and let me know what you think!
@@JBirdCustoms I was straight on to that already, fantastic work and looks great.
Really appreciate the knowledge sharing.

Very good point! I have used that as well to use different sized bits to do different jobs and it does make things much more simple!

Thanks for checking out the video. There's a ton more that can be done with easel and guitar work!
Awesome video! This opens so many opportunities on the x-carve! Stoked.
It's really a great machine. Not the top of the line best of the best but still a great cnc to get started with!
@@JBirdCustoms so i started trying for myself and im stuck at shift delete. i cant seem to just delete the words without the body.....

I am not sure what you mean "Latest UA-cam posts" but I really appreciate the help! I actually made this because of you asking about it!

@@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.
The other option is head to jbirdcustomsguitars.etsy.com and grab the file already edited from there. It downloads as an svg or dxf ready to import!
@@JBirdCustoms Yeah. thats what im doing, and it seems to select paths all over the guitar . :(
