Cris Blyth is a brave man. He has a dream of taking a Fairlight MFX and upgrading it to a Fairlight CMI Series III. In this episode, Cris gives up on screen printing the front panel, and instead enlists laser beams to do the work. The result is incredibly wonderful. At least until the end of the episode.

Love the project. Best regards from Germany.

Observing how you created the front plate reminded me of a quote from one of Midnight Oil’s songs … “You make it work with sticks and bones”, and from another point in the song “You make it work with rocks and sand”. So you kept with the Australian tradition of ingenuity and perseverance, much as the original designers of the Fairlight did. Brilliant!

Really good episode Cris.

@DynamicRockers Год назад

32:00 This panel looks so good, congrats for the awesome work and dedication!

@mattierenton701 Год назад

YESSSSS absolutely loved the journey, seeing you learn (and sometimes not learn !!) from your mistakes has been a real joy to behold. Its been really amazing being taken along on the journey, just seeing you light up, smile and laugh it really is a wonderful moment and thankyou Chris !!

@CrisBlyth Год назад

I do a lot of 'not learning' and there's even more 'not learning' coming up in future episodes (as you might have seen in the 'up next' section. It makes me really happy to read comments like yours, and it's continuing to be quite a journey !

@StupidTuberDude Год назад

Awesome Chris! I followed you along this project, watched every episode and I just love your enthusiasm!

@CrisBlyth Год назад

Thank you ! I'm really glad you liked the episodes ! and there's more to come too !

@StupidTuberDude Год назад

@@CrisBlyth I'm ready if you are!

@zzzudio Год назад

Love your dedication, I knew exactly how you felt when you noticed the stripes in the print. Take your time, it's worth overcoming this frustrating moment. The end results will be great. All the best from Germany!

@CrisBlyth Год назад

I really appreciate this. There's still so much to go, but definitely in a good place now ! still more episodes to make somehow !

@6581punk Год назад

I know from doing embroidered patterns on cloth with my Brother machine that it is often easier to add the pattern onto the material and then cut it. Rather than cut it and spend ages getting the alignment right.

@CrisBlyth Год назад

I was super slow getting the alignment.. I think I had the video at 50,000% speed ! However, I only had one chance !

@MeeBilt Год назад

Great job with the frontpanel! I've been thinking of getting myself a laser cutter/engraver too and now I realise that I need to have one 😁 Learning new things is about trying and failing - you will nail it for sure on the second try 👍

@CrisBlyth Год назад

I've since made quite a few lovely things with the laser.. it's bonkers fun and doing wood Mandalas is really quite satisfying ! I'd definitely recommend getting one !

@6581punk Год назад

Me too. Although the Brother Scan n Cut machines are also very handy. Done a load of t-shirts and stickers with mine.

@bhamadicharef Год назад

there was a Kodak moment right there !

@CrisBlyth Год назад

It was definitely a moment to remember ! :)

@ReneKnuvers74rk Год назад

It would be nice if you could share the type of laser cutting engraving hardware you are using. Yours seems quite capable! Oh and congrats on the fabulous end result. Nice to see you getting all excited on the front plate. Can only imagine how freaked out you will be when the unit is completed and fully functioning.

@CrisBlyth Год назад

You’re right ! I’ll ask the Syntaur guys to add the name. It was an Ortur Master Pro 2 I believe. There are newer models from Ortur, and they seem to be very popular.

@videomove Год назад

yours a phreak! 🤩

@CrisBlyth Год назад

yeah ! I am.. I also get called 'insane' a lot and also, 'why' :) hehehe. more insanity to come soon !

@videomove Год назад

i absolutely love it! freaks rule...

@eugenioarpayoglou Год назад

Hey! I'm in Uruguay, and yes you said it correctly. Uruguay is actually the name if the river, the country's official name is La Republica Oriental del Uruguay (the republic east of the Uruguay [river]). The word "Uruguay" comes from the indigenous Guaraní language and translates to "river of painted birds."

@CrisBlyth Год назад

I had the most fantastic shoot, with an amazing local crew. I wish I could have stayed for weeks longer, such a lovely memorable time !

@6581punk Год назад

It also looks more vintage being less than 100% black.

@CrisBlyth Год назад

I agree.. and it's not even quite white, but 'off' white. There IS a very famous Black CMI out there.. There was only ever one Black CMI, and it's made many a famous 80's song.. owned by 'Stock, Aitken & Waterman'

@trancytimbo Год назад

Hello from the land of the Fairlight 🦘 The last part of the video was lightning fast, do you think the special etching paint/surface wasn’t fully removed and then interacted with the gloss coat somehow? Have loved every minute of this series Cris, likely because I’ve been fascinated with the instrument ever since I saw it as a young kid in the 80’a on Sesame Street. Awesome stuff!

@CrisBlyth Год назад

Yes ! it did react and I really thought that I had rinsed off, but I love come to understand how much I have to clean and rinse and let it dry.. however, I have learned a lot :) and the proof of that will be shown soon ! :) glad you’ve liked the series.. and I think I’ve got quite a few more episodes before I call this out be done ! :)

@videomove Год назад

was the soundtrack already made with your fairlight? it sounds nice! 👌🏼

@CrisBlyth Год назад

I make the beginning and end tracks for sure, I can't remember if I used any of my tracks on this episode ! but there will be CMI tracks on an episode soon !

@NFawc Год назад

Noooooooooo! After all that work and love the plate print failed :(

@CrisBlyth Год назад

there is another……. :)

@craigie13 Год назад

I trust you never made airfix models as a child. You're the most impatient person ever.... 😜😜😜

@CrisBlyth Год назад

oh I made so many, I loved making them.. I just need things to keep up :). As soon as I put something in the microwave, after 2 seconds I'm like 'COME ON ALREADY' :)
