Missed you Dan.

@ConstrutorMusical 5 месяцев назад

Great machine. About the purple heart, it's from Brazil. In some regions it's very cheap, and people use to make the roof structure of the house. Very beautiful wood. With heat it gets more colour. Try it in a scrap piece with a hot air blower.

@bkritical420 28 дней назад

Great video! Just ordered this machine. Super excited to get it and upgrade from my FoxAlien WM3020. It sounds like your getting lots of chatter. If you secure your work piece better (with finger clamps) or some sort of vice/fixture and secure your machine to the table that will reduce chatter and you will get much better surface finish (less sanding 😉). More ridged = More better and less work = More money!!

@davidl7447 5 месяцев назад

@6:50 Pro Tip: Only have enough tool sticking out for the depth of cut, will give you a cleaner cut and longer tool life.

@chadwilliams8583 4 месяца назад

A full review is a great idea!,and then maybe a follow up eventually with how you have implemented your handtool skill with knowledge of running the cnc! I think your on a great path,been watching for 3 or 4 years now

@robr471 5 месяцев назад

Dude!!!! Where have you been?!!! The OG. Hope you are blessed. Good to have you back on the tube.

@jeffreyeagen4896 5 месяцев назад

The extensions make that incredibly more useful! That looks like a great machine! Looking forward to the full review!

@4stringz. 5 месяцев назад

Glad to see ya back Dan! Hope y'all have been well

@gsbguitarsgsb679 3 дня назад

Cool machine, I like the guitar body design it looks cool and comfortable probably to. I’m not sold on the headstock yet but the neck is awesome. So I’m assuming the LP guitar is being assembled or waiting on parts or something like that. Did I mention thatcool cnc machine? lol

@JoeTheGuitarGuy96 5 месяцев назад

It’s always a nice day when Dan uploads. That prototype came out amazing, looks cool with the purpleheart.

@steveeason2207 5 месяцев назад

Great video, I'd really like a full review. I'm in the market for a cnc for guitar making so watching your videos is a massive help.

@playAgainMe 5 месяцев назад

Glad to see new guitar videos.

5 месяцев назад

That router is getting very professional. Awesome body shape too.

@MrDaveKC 5 месяцев назад

That seems like a really nice, really cool CNC. I still haven't been able to pull the trigger on one, but I'm definitely thinking toward getting something. Right now, cost is a BIG factor. But I think I ought to be able to cut out acoustic style fingerboards, bridges, and likely the neck could be done, too. I'm not sure I'd go for big enough for the electric bodies, but maybe one day that, too. Glad to see you around again, too. Hope all is well with you, your family and the job. Take care friend.

@asafpelleh7594 5 месяцев назад

Purple heart for the fretboard!

@tysonfoshee7624 5 месяцев назад

Good to hear from you man...

@Oldmaninabasement Месяц назад

Wrong video I know I stumbled onto you looking up sharpening razors but love the belly cut other vid. I'm going to try a bench plane and or Jack plane angle the blade for binding scaper Have you tried That? Future build for me this winter I need to learn more first

@Eric7A 5 месяцев назад

14:06 Really like that neck inlay design. That is going to pop when finished.

@Superjet113 5 месяцев назад

That body shape is pretty cool! Nice job!

@plumbob72 2 месяца назад

I was watching some of your past bass build videos. I am going to try building my own. Can you send me a link for the necks that you use?

@BLBlackDragon 5 месяцев назад

Fun toys. Would love to see a full work up and review. (I'm thinking of adding a CNC to my workspace, and would love to know if it is worth it)

@dandoesntknowsstuff1769 5 месяцев назад

Very Muse-esque. I love the body design.

@christopherfidler3019 5 месяцев назад

There are a couple Clone Makita Routers on Amazon. God Bless Locktite. I put it on all my Tuner Screws, Intonation Screws, Output Jack, etc.

@johnheine4099 5 месяцев назад

Can you make a comp vid between this and the Longmill MK2 ?

@jessehoward6160 5 месяцев назад

Man there are so many great options for machines now! Way better than when you or I started even Dan. Did you see that millright launched the Mega V2 ? The thing comes with a vacuum table and tool changer!......check it out........just wish they sold those options as upgrade kits for my original Mega V-XL

@mwilbur7374 5 месяцев назад

Based on your prior video, I have been seriously considering a Longmill MK ii. Why the move away from the Longmill? Video perhaps comparing this one versus the MK ii?

@th3m1ke 10 дней назад

I was hoping for this answer too!

@SCARFACE69247 5 месяцев назад

You can always go to warmoth and customize their stuff until you get your own stuff really going. They have customizable necks and bodies.

@bobheadzeek 5 месяцев назад

solid purple heart body, thta's brutal

@TMFShooting 5 месяцев назад

Another Great Video Dan 💯 , Thanks for Sharing 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

@JohnKlopp 3 дня назад

Still looks like a hamster cage with the new dust collection system! 😁

@saulgoodeguitars 5 месяцев назад

Mate looks awesome, never worked with purple heart, I still kinda want too though

@seantodd7662 5 месяцев назад

Wondering if the brush of your dust collection needs to be “sweeping the board”? You won’t be able to see the bit doing its work but it should trap the dust better

@richardwright345 5 месяцев назад

always try to use the shortest cutter you can. less chattering. Chattering can hurt the spindle also.

@ryanvarner6520 5 месяцев назад

I'd love to have this CNC setup! Can you get it with a 4th axis?

@eyeofamon 5 месяцев назад

Price comparison, this machine with all the upgrades vs. the new Sienci Altmill.

@damienthomas6655 5 месяцев назад

❤❤The brush of your dust collector needs to be way further down .

@asafpelleh7594 5 месяцев назад

You're back!!!!!

@GalGaos 5 месяцев назад

All that dust - OMG

@familyengineering5591 5 месяцев назад

Next we'll start seeing some 2011 machining for the guns portion. Hahaha

@neurocosm 5 месяцев назад

I Love this TELE! Is it for sale (purple heart)?

@Juan-y3f4r 2 месяца назад

Can you use this system to make an r.c. airplane kit ?

@j-man9457 5 месяцев назад

Hey I'd be interested in one of the guitars in this video's thumbnail. How do I contact you? J-man

@peterchamplin8767 5 месяцев назад

@joe-cq7wr 3 месяца назад

Dose the Fox Alien come with software? if it dose what isit? Thanks

@flapjack413 4 месяца назад

I'm hearing a lot of deflection around the 7:00 mark. Consider running a shorter bit whenever possible.

@scarmyguitar 5 месяцев назад

Baaaaassssssss.......

@nicolasmartinez8015 4 месяца назад

Has anyone been able to co tact Dan? I bought an instrument from him and had some questions for him

@chickenwallerfarm5765 5 месяцев назад

I don’t know what he’s doing with all these CNC machines because I’ve made several attempts to get a custom Tele body from him and have not received one response. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@pablodana1512 Месяц назад

Your dust collector brush it's too far away from the surface. You ain't get a proper vacuum that way..

@kdtrimble 5 месяцев назад

You sir, have out-classed your audience with these gimmicks. We used to follow what you did as we could all do it, but now? Your 4th or 5th new CNC? Really?

@jonathanravenscroft8784 5 месяцев назад

I’ve followed him quite a long time and you can really see his improved handcrafted skills to technical skills, he had to evolve he couldn’t do DIY kit guitars forever; I get what you mean I don’t have the time or budget to go get a Cnc machine but I Enjoy the journey

@falcongunner33 5 месяцев назад

Don’t watch then? What’s stopping you making guitars with hand tools on your own? If you don’t want to get into CNC then don’t. This is his channel covering his hobby and it doesn’t have to pander to anyone.

@theredshirts7245 3 месяца назад

I hear you. I think his earlier content said all that needs be said on do more with less- and seeing someone’s hobby go from dirt cheap DIY to boutique builder may be good for someone who also is traveling on that trajectory. I have a similar critique of other DIY woodworking channels I have watched…but I’ve noticed that every chance I could afford to buy a machine to make my work faster/better I have.

@woncameron24 7 дней назад

He put out a video outlining change in his business model. Headed towards full time guitar builder with RU-vid as side bustle. Good for him and his progress.

@Ramen4Days 5 месяцев назад

First?

@BrileyNeyenhuis 5 месяцев назад

Really miss when this channel was good

@genesishep 5 месяцев назад

Smooth? Neither of those first two runs were smooth. Spindle abuser killed the first one and will kill the router also unless he changes his behavior. The amount of chatter he's getting... Can he not hear that?? I wanted to shout dude about the length of exposed bit but that would do no good. He tries on the vacuum setup and I bet he's wondering why he's not getting good results. Of course he's not going to get decent results if the dust boot isn't at least close to the material. Yet another sign that his bit length is too long... A moment of silence for the first spindle. Yes, you were underpowered but you still had so much life left in you to be taken so quickly.
