I have already designed and I am about to start cutting my own guitar, and, I have to tell you, it's been made possible mostly because of your videos. Thank you for a great series of videos, and happy holidays!
I've ordered QueenBee Ultimate CNC 1500x1500mm.I wanted that machine with servo motors instead of stepper.Servos don't loose the steps.The are much faster and much quieter than stepper motors.I think it's better to use tabs to hold the body in the material,anyhow bro you're doin' a good job.
So nice to see it all come together from CAM to CAD to Machining. I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that. Can't wait to see that neck joint. That would've been a satisfying way to close out that video, btw :-D
I posted a few pics with the neck installed on my instagram. (Just loosely set in there, no glue). Check it out! I meant to include that in the video but forgot :(
It's so cool to see you holding this body after all the work you put into the design and the build itself. Can't wait to see how it turns out in the end! And merry Christmas, see you next year!
Just a thought, your pins look like they're symmetrical and the body will go on either way. Try making one set wider then the other so you can't mount the body the wrong way. Guess how I know this?
good material, Your fusion material is the best. To make a good align top (bookmatched) I set the fusion to alingn in center of the material, so that way i can see in a axis how the line is going to work, and it makes it easier.
Thank you! Once this project is over I'll get back into my Fusion videos for sure. Going forward it'll be a mix between Fusion and projects. I like the concept of taking projects all the way through cad, cam, and cnc.
In most projects I use 1/4 2 flute upcut or downcut flat and ballnose endmills from CMT tools. I also have a few whiteside router bit endmills as well. I dont have a link right now but they are all available on Amazon. My V bits are typically Freud that I get from Woodcraft in Seattle. My 1/8 endmills are cheap Amazon ones that come in a pack. 1/8 and smaller bits I anticipate breaking them at some point so I tend to use cheap ones to save $$.

Aww my pleasure mate! I'm sure your guitar will turn out great!! Happy holidays!
Thanks for the video.
Seriously looking forward to this one!

That's a good way of idiot proofing it for people like myself :) thanks!

Very nice! 👍
Thanks for a great series Austin. I hope the move goes well and have a great Christmas with your new baby and make lots of happy memories. Bye for now
Thank you so much man! Merry Christmas!
Thanks you so much
great job. these machines are awsome and fun to use
See if you can get delrin pins insted of steel ,just incase of puter errors. We are all learning😎
That is looking fantastic. Congrats!!!!!
Thanks Carlos!
Nice job! Would you mind posting the bits that you use and where to order? Thanks!

@@austinshaner awesome! Thank you so much!!!
Congrats man!
very good video series
I love the look of this body. Do you have a link where to get the CNC file diagrams for the build?
Your videos are super cool!
Sorry didn't watch the whole video
