When I received the X-Carve 3D carving machine, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it...Make an Electric Guitar! This is my first time building an electric guitar. It's not a Gibson or a Fender, it's just a "Carmichael" and it plays great!

@SteveCarmichael 7 лет назад

Thank you Ricardo! Life's too short not to be happy.

@JohnSmith-ed1sr 7 лет назад

I agree, he is such a goof I like him and all his smiles

@rickyanderson7949 7 лет назад

as a builder, i find this video entertaining. and you smile a lot! :D

@Cabeza492 6 лет назад

Haha, i like his face of satisfaction when a piece is recently finished by the CNC machine ^_^

@koki4a922 2 месяца назад

I was 10 and i remember how this video motivated me so much so i made my own guitar, guided by this video. Now after about 8-9 years im back to see the video again to to experience that emotion again!

@germcrazyshokoff3623 Год назад

Officially the happiest and most positive woodworker on RU-vid. I love it. And one hell of a guitar player.

@SteveCarmichael Год назад

Thank you! I have fun making these videos. I'm glad you enjoyed watching.

@rhykko77 9 лет назад

The best introduction to CNC applied to electric guitar building I have ever seen. Excellent !

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

+rhykko77 Thank you! It's my first guitar so hope to make another one next year sometime.

@JohnHeisz 9 лет назад

Rockin', Steve :) Great build!

@boudreaumay3040 9 лет назад

Rock On !

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

John Heisz Thanks John! I was quite impressed at how the x-carve ran for so long. It was a good endurance test. I don't think my 1 gal shop-vac is meant to run for 6 hours straight though. I checked on it every hour or so to make sure the vac was not on fire. lol

@SterlingsWoodcrafts 9 лет назад

No to bad for a Drummer, lol, Looks Great , sounds Awesome, very cool Steve

@CharlesDearingScroller 9 лет назад

Man, you knocked this one out of the park! I watched every minute of it. GREAT job Steve!

@gprice1978 8 лет назад

You have the happiest smiley face ever, in all your videos. It's a pleasure to watch.

@SteveCarmichael 8 лет назад

Thanks Gareth! I have a blast making this stuff.

@FletcherHandcraftedGuitars 9 лет назад

Nice one Steve, you should be very pleased with how it turned out. it sounds like that will be the first of many guitars ;-)

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

***** Hi Dave! Wow, thanks for watching and commenting. I learned a lot from watching your videos to prepare for trying this stuff. I don't think I explained the faceting thing as well as you did. lol It was fun finding ways to incorporate the X-Carve. I will be making another guitar when the shop gets a little cooler. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us on your channel.

@silverxgt1125 7 лет назад

Super satisfying video to watch. I just could not skip it. As an amateur builder and musician I loved this video.

@rholt2 9 лет назад

as a guitarist and a new (almost completed) X-Carve owner, I watched in amazement. FEARLESS and awesome. Keep up the great work, Steve! Russ from Coral Springs, Fl.

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

Russell Holt Thanks Russ! This was a fun and challenging project. There were lots of things I've never done before. I just went for it. Looking back, I should have made a guitar a long time ago...it's not that hard, even with regular tools.

@NP-rh3dt 7 лет назад

you can tell how much fun you're having during this video, your smile is so genuine, its makes the video very enjoyable to watch!

@RJBWoodTurner 9 лет назад

What an awesome project Steve, I'm sure this is what Inventables had in mind when they sent out all of the X-Carve machines to everyone. They have to love seeing a beautiful project like this one coming off the CNC. I can't imagine the hours you had to put in designing and laying out your guitar nor can I imagine the forethought that went into planning and executing this project. Congratulations an the best thing I have ever seen come off an Inventables X-Carve. I love everything about your guitar. Regards, Bob

@GaryGiffin49 9 лет назад

This is really neat

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

RJBWoodTurner Thanks Bob! This was quite the challenge but I learned so much. It's cool that a home hobbyist can have the same type of technology that the guitar companies have. I'm already thinking how to kick it up a notch for the next one. I think the machine can do even more of it.

@dmcfabricationpublicitaire8578 8 лет назад

I will definitely follow all the steps to make one for my dad! Thank you for your smile!

@SteveCarmichael 8 лет назад

+Hakim DMC (H²) Awesome! Good luck!

@JMTosses 9 лет назад

Despite not being a guitar-guy myself I'm in total aw. This was a terriffic project and the video kicks ass. I love the way you explain every step and detail so that even I understood what was going on there. Great use of the X-Carve and even better display of your abilities to make this your own hand-made instrument. Thanks for sharing and lots of hours of joy with this guitar!

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

JM Tosses Thank you so much for the kind comments. I spent a lot of time on this project and it's good to hear that .

@JMTosses 9 лет назад

Well deserved, Steve. Cheers!

@MakeSomething 9 лет назад

I love how you clamped the body to the waste board! I'm using that trick next time! This turned out fantastic!! Love it! Love it!

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

Drunkenwood How-to Videos Thanks David! It worked great. I just can't bring myself to cut into the pretty wasteboard. lol I was very close to maxing out the height with the .25 backer board, 1.75 blank, and 1.75 exposed bit length for cutting all the way through. We need to make more!!!

@MakeSomething 9 лет назад

Steve Carmichael I'll be making more for sure! You've taken away my fears of making a neck!

@jacktrent5648 6 лет назад

What I love about this channel is that he is always happy and smiling.

@SteveCarmichael 6 лет назад

+DR. Rock Thanks 😁

@glashay 8 лет назад

Love this build, I would buy a guitar just like this from this guy. Being an owner of more than 30 guitars and having modified many more I feel like his attention to detail and explanation were great, yes this is just one way to build a guitar but for a non luthier this turned out great. Now I want an x-carve.

@SteveCarmichael 8 лет назад

Thank you Greg! This was a lot of fun. I need to do another one soon. I have since upgrade to a Dewalt 611 on the xcarve so it should be a little faster. Looking back, I'm surprised the original small spindle did so well..

@matthewperlberg 8 лет назад

Righteous video. The look of enthusiasm on your face when you finish each step is pretty incredible. Fender style head-stock looks good on the Gibson style body. Nice dye job too. Thank you for what you do!

@SteveCarmichael 8 лет назад

Thanks Matthew! Yeah, I thought it would be fun to mix up some Gibson/Fender-ish shapes. This was a real challenge for me, but so much fun.

@AndreaArzensek 9 лет назад

That's how you rock your X-carve, great guitar Steve!

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

Andrea Arzensek Thanks Andrea! Rock on!

@dancasey624 9 лет назад

This turned out really really cool. It seems like such a complex project, but you made it super approachable. I love how you left it "unfinished" even the blue dye, you still get the look of the wood. Excellent work Steve.

@BraxtonWirthlin 9 лет назад

That's awesome, Steve! Excellent job!

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

Braxton Wirthlin Thanks Braxton.

@USlibertarian622 8 лет назад

That x-carve looks like an amazing piece of hardware, I decided to build a guitar, but I didn't have anything like that, so I made it with files, rasps, and other various hand tools. I still have a long way to go, but it's coming along. Very nice guitar, I wouldn't mind owning a similar one myself.

@SteveCarmichael 8 лет назад

Thanks Daniel! Even with the CNC there's a lot of hand work in it. I need to make another one this year.

@Voxboy876 8 лет назад

Your tool box is legend. You guys demo this cnc very well. The neck looks really nice. I would like to see a pro guitar builder use this machine.

@SteveCarmichael 8 лет назад

Thanks! I need to make another guitar soon. I do about one a year at this rate. I've exchanged messages with a few pro builders and they say they the cnc would be great for making templates.

@johntreschmusic 7 лет назад

I am buying an X-Carve and never thought of building a guitar, but after seeing you having so much fun, I will design and build my own. Good Job on it, but the next guitar you should put in two pickups and a tremolo.

@SteveCarmichael 7 лет назад

Thanks! I've only made the one guitar with the original small spindle. I think it would be quicker with the Dewalt 611 that I have now, but depends on the bit and wood. It was a fun project. Good luck!

@juulberkhout2410 8 лет назад

really cool, fender neck, single coil and the gibson firebird shape. as they say, best of both worlds.

@SteveCarmichael 8 лет назад

+Juul Berkhout Thanks! Yes, that's the good thing about designing your own guitars.

@homebuiltshop 9 лет назад

Steve, awesome! I've been a guitar player for years. Building one is on my list as well. I have a nice piece of mahogany sitting in the shop waiting to be made into a guitar. Nice job.

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

***** Hi Jeff - It was a lot easier than I thought. The truss rod was no big deal. The frets went in fine. I'm not sure I would be able to cut the fret slots with a fretsaw without a jig to hold it in place. Shaping the neck was easy with that Stanley Surform File. Mahogany would be great. I think I will use that for the next one. Go for it man.

@FabiansTinyWorkshop 9 лет назад

You did a fantastic job Steve!!! Rock on!!!

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

Fabian's Tiny Workshop Thanks Fabian! This project took some pre-planning.

@Woodcraftedworkshop 9 лет назад

Very nice build Steve! Build your second one with a compound radius fretboard so you can shred!! Lol. Love it. Thanks for sharing!

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

woodworker 631 Thanks! I've heard of a compound radius but will have to research what exactly that is. I know Malmsteen uses a scalloped fretboard...that would be interesting to do too.

@makwabid69 8 лет назад

Love your unhinged grin throughout the build =D

@SteveCarmichael 8 лет назад

Thanks! I have fun in the shop!

@pdp977 6 лет назад

Steve - this is a great and fun video. Thanks for your time doing it. Brought a smile to my face on a dull day in the UK.

@SteveCarmichael 6 лет назад

Thank you Peter!

@ChadSchimmel 9 лет назад

That came out great, Way to use that Xcarve so well.

@hdfd971 4 года назад

I’m glad I watched this I was considering buying one . But 8hours to cut the body 5 hours for the neck 4 hours for the fret board. You can do everything with a band saw and router in about 20 minutes

@SteveCarmichael 4 года назад

Yep, if you are looking for a speedy CNC that will compete with 20 minutes, you gotta spend lots more $$$$$. I still haven't made my second guitar yet, but when I do, I would probably cut about a 1/4" of the outline of the body and neck with the CNC, then follow that cut up with the bandsaw and router to finish it. Saws cut much more efficiently than router bits - Truth!

@hawaiianrobot 9 лет назад

Man, this is incredible. Between this and the one from Make Something, I'm probably going to grab something equivalent to an X-Carve and save a lot of time and frustration in guitar building.

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

+Andrew Cross Thanks Andrew! It still is a lot of work in the upfront design, but the rest was not as hard as I thought it would be. The accuracy is awesome!

@darbinorvar 9 лет назад

Really cool project Steve, came out awesome!

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

Darbin Orvar Thanks Linn! I love projects that feel like they could fail at any time but come out ok in the end. This was definitely one of those.

@uncutVidsd123 7 лет назад

still love the fact u went with the 1 single coil... its rare to see an electric guitar like that except for esquires and a few more

@motzemog 9 лет назад

Great job. Especially liked seeing the hand shaping. Machines can't do everything just yet. Skynet!

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

***** Thanks Michael! Yeah, I liked how this was a good mix of machine and hand work. I do want to learn how to make it shape the back of the neck for me. Baby steps...

@cool555breeze 8 лет назад

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

WoodenCreationz You're welcome! I wouldn't do that to you. lol I'm all about fun endings.

@lionellonardon4222 6 лет назад

Man, he is just too happy for me. I can't look at me in the mirror anymore after watching his happyness. Too much heat for my cold heart.

@SteveCarmichael 6 лет назад

Well thanks! I think, lol Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope the video made you smile warm up a bit.

@mark5150ty 5 лет назад

Wonderful job. I've done a lot of guitar stains. A tip I'd like to add, next time stain the guitar body black first lightly sand until only the grain is black and then Overcoat with the blue and you will get a much deeper contrast between grain

@SteveCarmichael 5 лет назад

Hi David, thanks! Yeah, I read about doing black first but didn't want to spend another $25 on another bottle of transtint. I will definitely do that the next time I dye a body though, cause it does look a lot better that way. Man, that dye is strong.

@mark5150ty 5 лет назад

@@SteveCarmichael I use KEDA DYE Stain Powder I buy the multicolor pack and off one pack I have done 12 guitars and I still have power left. Plus in my opinion this stuff is better than transtent. And it only cost $10 all together makes around a gallon of dye

@BarriePoole 8 лет назад

Great work, boy I wish I had something like the X-carve back about 24 years ago, I had built an electric guitar with a very small amount of electric power tools and mostly hand tools and jigs... it took forever, I myself often will buy pre-made kits or do it yourselfer kits that have alot of the hard stuff done already and just a matter of painting and assembling one. I guess as I get older my patience wears pretty thin... haha Cheers and thumbs up!

@SteveCarmichael 8 лет назад

+Barrie Poole Thanks Barrie! Yeah, the cnc helps with the accuracy. It did take a long time for it to cut out the whole thing. I was kind of testing it to see what it would do, but it did everything I asked of it only pretty slow. I've upgraded it to the Dewalt router so it should do the next one much quicker. Good thing about the kit is that you only have to do the fun part. lol

@mikaylaboo1 7 лет назад

@danielwehking3809 5 лет назад

Great video. When you do your next guitar I hope you record it and fill in some gaps like how you knew where to place the bridge, how to set the height and intonation, etc.

@SteveCarmichael 5 лет назад

Thanks Daniel! I already bought some Alder to make a body and have maple for a neck, so I should be making one soon. Just need to design it. I intend to show all steps from start to finish in one video no matter how long it is.

@WhitentonMike 9 лет назад

That's really cool Steve. No 2x4s were harmed in the making of this guitar. ;)

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

@chrismooney5118 9 лет назад

Impressive build! Looking forward to the music video.

@frankingram3382 9 лет назад

Boy you out did yourself this time. That was a great project and I liked the way you put the video together, not too much of any one section as to be boring. The video is so good that I can't even think of something stupid to say. I loved it.

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

Frank Ingram Thanks Frank! I had over 300 video clips on this one, so it took some time to edit it down as short as I could but still show every step. Glad you liked it.

@CMRWoodworks 9 лет назад

@HovingtonInstruments 9 лет назад

The neck radius turned out nice! Congrats on your build!

@SixBeatsOfSeparation 9 лет назад

Fantastic job Steve! Was surprised you left the headstock unmarked....seemed like the perfect opportunity to have your name engraved and then filled in with some marking paint. Really wonderful craftsmanship though...and your attitude is just fantastic. Cheers to your next project!

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

+Six Beats Of Separation Thank you very much! I thought about carving the headstock, but I haven't decided what to put on it yet...maybe my last name. I kind of want to try the waterslide decal method like the pros do it. Thought that would be a good experiment. Thanks!

@SixBeatsOfSeparation 9 лет назад

Think of it this way... you can do as other do.. or be the pro that blazes a new path... :) Im certain whatever you do itll be great

@ZacHiggins 9 лет назад

That's awesome Steve! It turned out just plain awesome. Love that blue color, the dye really turned out great. Thanks for jamming for us at the end too, I loved it! Oh, and I appreciate you putting up the information for each x-carve job too, it was interesting to see how long each part took to carve out.

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

Zac Higgins Thanks Zac! Yeah, I thought it might be helpful to others who cut the same wood with the same bits and the stock spindle.

@Retroweld 9 лет назад

Gotta say,my most favorite video to date! Loved watching the process of that guitar.

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

Dani El Thanks! Yeah, I wanted to do it all in one video.

@dieselstruck 9 лет назад

Steve Carmichael That machine certainly helps. Making those radius forms in itself could be a business. Will be watching for another instrument video for sure! One question, did yoy by any chance use quarter sawn for the neck? If not, how's it holding up?

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

Dani El I don't think it was quarter sawn. I just used whatever I had for this first one. I'll be more pick on the next one. Seems to be staying straight so far.

@DragonGateDesign 5 лет назад

Lol the add was to enter an awesome electric guitar. Awesome vid

@justinmason100 8 лет назад

That sounds surprisingly good for a single coil. And looks awesome

@SteveCarmichael 8 лет назад

Thanks! Yeah, the pickup set was the cheapest I could find, but it sounds fine for this first attempt at an electric guitar. Maybe I will splurge for better parts on about my 10th guitar. lol Only 9 more to go till then.

@justinmason100 8 лет назад

Steve Carmichael Yeah, haha

I'm planning of making a electric guitar, my old one finally died and found corrosion on the components except for the pick up lines, and planning to see if I can salvage what parts and re-make the body out of pvc pipes, might be a challenge but hey, I got it figured out in my head, plans are drawn and pray it works out well when christmas hits. nice build by the way and hope you make more in your future. ^^

Hard when i looked inside the wood interior are decaying in the body

@bigmaz4002 8 лет назад

Wood filler? Sorry if my initial comment came off as rude. And if not, I recommend a squier vintage modified stratocaster.

Thanks for this Steve. I've drawn the end section of the block and made the radius following the circumference of my desired circle and was trying to figure a way of turning the profile from 3/4" thick into something 8" long ( If that makes sense?) I think I'll go with your method. Thanks Trevor

This is an awesome demonstration of what the X-Carve can do. I hope to have one of these machines someday. I have a guitar, but only know about 8 chords, and half of them are difficult with my fingers to play. But a harmonica, I wonder if the X-Carve is up to that challenge! Thanks for sharing and I do want to meet you in person next month in KC.

Ron Briz Thanks Briz! You can play lots of songs with just 3 chords. lol I have a harmonica but never got good at it. Looking forward to meeting you in person too.

Great job, I was really worried when you said dyed blue, but it turned out pretty nice.

Gimp Geek Thanks! It was fun experimenting with something besides paint or stain.

nice job, the hand carving was cool, I think I would of done the blue dye a bit lighter to show the grain more, but that's personal taste :)

Actually you can thick lacquer a neck. All you have to do to smooth the action up is just run a light sandpaper down the neck a few times.

First time seeing how an actual truss rod works, nice!

@SteveCarmichael 9 лет назад

+headcharge871 Awesome! It was my first time seeing one too. It was always a mystery to me.

That's awesome Steve! Building a guitar has been the most satisfying skill I've ever learned. Can't wait to see your next build. By the way, I have an x carve on the way just for guitar building!

Tyler Harrington Thanks Tyler! I agree. Even just building one give you an appreciation for the art. Will be cool to see how you use it. The accuracy is where it shines I think.
