Are/where you a teacher? One of the best instructional videos I've seen. I'm new to VCarve Pro and CNC after 30 years in higher ed as an IT director providing educational technology support. I know tenured faculty that couldn't do half the job you did on this video. Long winded way (side effect of higher ed) of saying great video.

[@twoelmbuilds]

Thanks for watching! I went to school to be a teacher, but never actually ended up being a teacher. Got into sales and fell in love with it. I do coach other salespeople, and I coach basketball.... All forms of teaching I suppose. 😂

[@ifiwooddesigns]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Just ordered a CNC and learning VCarve in the process until it arrives and assembled. Although I’m self teaching myself via YT, it’s been relatively easy to pick up. Until I tried text on text! Lost 3 days to try to follow, copy and learn from many others. And although I did every step they did, somehow they must have edited some steps out and also left me more confused. Watched you video, followed along and got it right first shot! But more importantly, now understand it and comfortable with this skill. Definitely subbed and will go through all your other videos. Again… thank you!!! 😓 🎉

[@twoelmbuilds]

Welcome to the addiction of CNC! 😂 I am glad I could help you learn, that is the goal! Thanks for subscribing, I appreciate it 👍

[@dangoras9152]

Good to see u back brother...

[@twoelmbuilds]

Thanks! Sometimes life and business gets crazy! 🤪

[@pollywilson716]

Looking forward to my machine arrival so I can try this

[@twoelmbuilds]

I've made some good money with simple signs like this. Very popular. What model machine did you get?

[@11amberlamps11]

Great instructional video. Thanks

[@twoelmbuilds]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@stevekinnaird6835]

Well done. I picked up a few new methods.

[@twoelmbuilds]

Awesome! Thanks for watching 👍

[@chuckfreed282]

Hi, I really learned alot by watching your video about stacked text. It was not the only one I watched. You had text and numbers in your sign. I made a sign by following along but I had 2 text layers. I had to weld and join all text to curves. I will be checking more of your videos. Thanks.

[@twoelmbuilds]

Thanks for watching! I am glad it was helpful 👍

[@burakloft568]

Very information. I from Minnesota too. Just up my Saint Cloud Mn. I only had my cnc for few months now.

[@twoelmbuilds]

Thank you! Learning to use your new cnc is always the fun part! What do you make with your cnc?

[@burakloft568]

@@twoelmbuilds yes it lots of fun. Making few mistakes but part of learning it. Right now just 2d sign. I want lean 3d too.

[@terrybrockhoff8168]

Loved watching from start to finish , you are a great teacher , so easy to follow every step.
Looking forward to doing my first stacked text project on my Probotix CNC.
Thank you

[@twoelmbuilds]

Awesome! Thanks for watching 👍

[@user-uw7mv5zq5q]

Love the video

[@ms1972yt]

❤👉The best explained details I ever see from prior 200 videos.Thank you so much, Sir, you're best if all best ❤

[@twoelmbuilds]

You sure know how to make a man blush! 😂 Thank you! 👍

[@thomasswenddal772]

Enjoyed the class, which is saying a lot. You are an excellent instructor in my opinion for data that has to be mean something when put in the correct field. You nailed it. I'll be back and I don't even have a CNC yet at age 70, but a background in trad-milling of woodworking but much slower these days. Oh, I like IDC as well. Garrett, another good instructor. So glad to have found your channel. Happy New Year!

[@twoelmbuilds]

Thank you! I appreciate you and glad I can help you with learning about cnc work! Thanks for watching 👍

[@tedlitz7266]

[@johnchapman1231]

This can be done in 3 steps

[@tommyb1884]

Thanks for another great video. Love your teaching style. This is a big help.

[@twoelmbuilds]

Thanks 👍

[@stevecox552]

flipping outstanding video,,,, thanks

[@twoelmbuilds]

THANK YOU! I appreciate you watching 👍

[@MrJeffery9076]

Thanks for the video it is different from the stacked way i do it. I believe your way cuts down air carving and allot of time off carve. . Thanks for explaining allot more than i understood. I subscribed THANK YOU

[@twoelmbuilds]

Thanks for the subscription! I will definitely show how to save in order next time. Appreciate you watching 👍

[@billbaggins9961]

for the second cut (0.2) do you set z on original height or on the 0.1 first cut?

[@twoelmbuilds]

I set it to the original height of the material and let it cut down.

[@martyjosephson4937]

Not bad, but you should zoom in when your putting or clicking things into the left design tab, can't read some of the text types

[@twoelmbuilds]

Will do! Thanks for the feedback and for watching. I appreciate you watching 👍

[@jessekurisko5659]

I followed the instructions but with different wording. When I preview my tool paths my cut out for the #’s isn’t readable? Any ideas as to what I’m doing wrong.

[@twoelmbuilds]

Are the #'s just not there at all or are they chopped up and hard to read?

[@jessekurisko5659]

They are there as if it’s not cutting out the numbers all the way like they are connected in places

[@twoelmbuilds]

@@jessekurisko5659 hmmm, without seeing it, hard to figure it out. Are your letters too close together for the bit you are using to clear out all the wood around them? Try either kerning the letters apart a little or better yet, try using a smaller diameter endmill to see if that changes the look in the rendering

[@theback4063]

What was the actual machining time?

[@twoelmbuilds]

Shooting from memory, I think it was at 30 to 40ish minutes in vecric. I don't know actual cutting time because I was trying to set up camera angles and stuff. But it was right about that time frame.

[@user-uw7mv5zq5q]

Can you make one with my name

[@twoelmbuilds]

I will add it to my list! 👍
