Great video Garret. I really enjoy the way you explain things. Vetric software is amazing but can be challenging to learn. You do a nice job walking through the process to make it relatable. Keep them coming please. Thanks, Lyle
RAcreativewoodworks, You're welcome! I'm glad my videos are helping you stay motivated with your CNC work. Kyle's class sounds like a great learning opportunity - keep practicing and you'll improve!
Garrett: I am new to CNC and this video (actually, all your videos) was very helpful. I'm still at the stage where I don't know what I don't know. I ordered that sanding brush set a few days ago and I plan on ordering the "truly complete" set in the next day or two.
bobshomewoodshop7996, That's great to hear! It sounds like you're on the right track with your CNC journey. The sanding brush set is definitely a good tool to have in your arsenal. Keep up the good work!

@@IDCWoodcraft Garrett, thank you for the reply. I purchased this bit in December 23 but just getting around to using it. I just reorder the bit along with 3 other bits. Breaking the bit was my fault and can't expect you to pay for my mistake.
Love your videos - I was wondering if you could explain how to extend a carve if your bed isnt long enough? For instance, if you have a 16" bed but need to do a 25" carve, whats the best way to carve the first part and then slide it up and carve the second half? Assuming your bed is straight, is there a way to use registration marks so that the two pieces are correctly alligned? Thanks in advance if you have the time.
atienne_navarre, That's a great question! To carve a longer piece than your bed allows, you can carve the first section, then move the workpiece up and reposition it based on registration marks to align it properly for the second carve. Using registration marks on both the workpiece and the wasteboard will help maintain alignment throughout the process. I do not have a video on this quite just yet but it is on my video list for the future! Thanks for reaching out brother.
Love your videos. I recommend them to everyone! But I’m begging you…please rename your v-bit series to something other than big stiffy!!!!😂😂😂. Maybe challenge your viewers to send some ideas.
ryanjacobson5164, I'm glad you're excited about the new V12 VCarve inlay toolpath! I'll definitely consider doing a video on that in the near future. Stay tuned!
Your V-Carve Jeep Wrangler plaque isn't on your ETSY site anymore? I was looking for it. I saw your video of Oct 25, 2020 and it said that it was there.

Great video's, very informative. I am trying to get the free checklist and it keeps bringing me to a page to sell me a design bundle that I don't need. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you.
DonaldRindal, Thank you for watching! I'm sorry about the confusion with the checklist download. Try to use this link and enter your email and name when prompted: www.click.idcwoodcraft.com/setup-checklist The list should be sent to your email brother!
dennisbracci9212, Yes, you can use a flat tip V bit for certain projects. It's great for carving intricate designs and adding details to your woodwork. Just make sure to adjust your feeds and speeds accordingly for optimal results.
I want to recommend against a sanding brush, and in favor of a nylon wire brush. The wire brush doesn't degrade details, and doesn't degrade by itself. Give it a try!
eitantal726, Thanks for your input! Nylon wire brushes are a great option for certain projects, depending on the wood type and the level of detail needed. It's always good to have different tools in your arsenal for different tasks.
Why didn't you show everyone that you can use a 1/8 or a 1/4 flat end mill to get rid of those v bit carving lines. I really love your videos but this time you missed a critical step. You placed the 1/8 end mill then removed it. I don't know if you addressed this issue on other videos
alexbordo4449, Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate your suggestion about using a flat end mill to smooth out v-bit carving lines. I'll make sure to demonstrate this technique in future videos.
kerrymorley6086, Using a clearance tool to achieve a flat depth is one approach, but in the video, I wanted to focus on a different technique to show viewers another method of achieving the desired result. Feel free to explore using a clearance tool in your own projects to see what works best for you!
