Thanks so much for making this video, it's extremely helpful! Also just noticed I'm watching this video exactly 4 years later - congratulations for turning those 200 subscribers into 126,000!

Thank you! You're a great teacher. Very helpful.

200 to 142k. That is pretty cool paw paw!

It's 2020 - you are up to 81,000 subscribers. Good for you! Thank you for your videos.

Great job of explaining, thanks.

Your an a amazing person paw paw. I've been looking for a video like this. Cause no one is really using easel and I'm trying to learn all that I can. Thank you once again. Be bless

Great video. Putting it in layman’s terms really helps us newbies

Excellent tutorial. Clear, concise and accurate. It is very useful. Congratulations from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Thank for this video, for some reason I missed the multi bit button.

May 2021 and 102k subscribers ... You're definitely doing something right & got your audience!! waiting to see you get 250k !!

Watching your 200 subscribers video from 20 months. My have you grown. Soon you’ll be making a 40,000 subscribers sign. Well done!

Thank you, you are a good man, much appreciated for your time doing this video.

Another Great Video: You have a real gift of being able to impart your knowledge to others. I'll keep watching your other videos.

Your CNC videos are super helpful. No wonder everyone in the forums recommends watching your channel. Thanks for all the great information. Subscibed, liked and shared. :-) Now at 85.4K subscribers - because of great content.

200 subscribers, 14 months later you have over 36k...that's an accomplishment....btw 1 of those is now me..great videos

This answered some questions for me. Thanks for sharing. And congratulations on the 200 subscribers. Here we are almost a year later and you are at 12k!!! Well done. You are helping a lot of people. Thank you!!!

99k subs now, love the channel man. You have been a lifesaver!

As always, you are The Man, Young Man! Thanks

Lol, I must be behind. Just caught on to your channel and have had my xcarve for over a year and now I’ve learned the 2 stage carving. Not without watching a few times. I going to have to watch more of your videos to catch up. Thanks for the info.

103,000 subscribers now. That's epic Paw Paw! Thank you so much for sharing all these vids, I'm learning so much from them. Until a month ago x y and z were just letters of the alphabet to me :D

Watching video celebrating 200 subscribers, scroll down and see 55K subscribers! Congrats! *You have one more subscriber as of today 😁*

Loving your videos! Did my first few runs on my X carve last night and have had good success

You rock sir! Thank you for your service. I just got my X Carve. I have done a few things. Two stage is what I am having problems with. Both work area and wood shows both pocket and name. When it carves only carves the box. I have followed your steps on many others. This one is stumping me. Thanks for any advice.

How cute! 200 subscribers, and now you're sitting at 102k! WOW!!

New CNC unit coming this week sometime , just have to come up with table design. Thanks paw paw, looking forward to more of your posts.

Your videos are great. Always appreciate the content.

Thats awesome.....your videos are very clear.....thank you......

Excellent video i'm subscribed and will be following you ;) Just got my machine and loving it and this will help me a LOT ! ! Thanks again happy carving :)

You should make soon one for 100k subscribers 😍 good quality content man thanks 💪

thank you for the excellent videos. I can follow along very well!

Thank you for an excellent tutorial. Congratulations on a well deserved success, I. Am building an Xyz table but I need directions of how to go about programming and acquiring all the rest of CNC hardware and software and how to apply etc, Can unguided me. Thanks Asress

Great video paw paw

thank you that was very helpful

Damn since may2018 you have added 9800 subscribers....great ...for pawpaw :)

Thank you sir! Most appreciated! 👏👏

awesome effort i really like the video

Your channel - and videos - are a godsend! And I would love to see a video of your painting process for this sign and how to use masking. Also, would you consider doing a Zoom or other platform to show things like this, and take questions from viewers? I would be willing to pay and likely others if the cost is affordable ($5 - $10 ish for us hobbyists), but you could make some good money if you got enough people. Thanks for doing this work. Inventables is very helpful but your work goes way beyond what they have in their tutorials. Did you do that Kitchen sign in acrylic?

Thanks for your videos. They have helped me tremendously on my CNC journey. I’m using Easel Pro and I’m having a problem with witness marks in my pockets. How can I create a final finishing pass to hopefully eliminate the marks? It’s worth noting I’m using a 1/4 down cut that’s brand new. All my settings are what are preset by easel.

Very good , thank you

Enjoy your videos, I just got a model m3 and using easel and I have had a lot of problems with setup but inventables have been 9 out of 10 helpful and also some other videos have helped with them and I am up and running at about 90%. Thanks to your videos I have made some designs and tried the basics and now trying the 2 stage. I was wondering if you can do 3d caving with easel and if you can could you show it (I have not seen any on your channel, sorry if I just missed it!). Thanks again for what you are doing.

Thank you so much!

Thank you..so yours is under tension a bit and has worked great...thats good to know...i need to buy a cheap fiahing scale to test this...can u test your tension on the belt at the actual pulley location..i think thats very important too....when u are testing tenaion on the y rail belt where do u place the gantry?...it does matter....the longer piece of open belt you test the less tension needed to move it 1 inch

Hi good video But the part where you actually added a 2nd bit was 1 second and had to watch 3 times to find what u done as was looking for your mouse pointer on screen but it seems there’s an add button to the bit selection ? I don’t have an x carve just a cheap Chinese 60/40 but works ok for my use 😊👍🏻

Hello Sir, I am having trouble with 2-stage carving. When I add the 2nd bit (60-degree v-bit) for the detail, it automatically changes all cuts to using the 60-degree bit. I want to use a 1/16 bit to cut out the outline and only use the v-bit for the detail work, however, it will not allow me to separate the cuts. Please help! Thank you.

Thanks for holland

whats the best way to re zero the xy to the center if the machine moves ever so slightly while changing the bits?

Thanks for your video, I've tried to make my first sign, selected 2 bits but it went all the way without the option of changing the bit. Any idea where I went wrong? Best regards from the Netherlands! PS: just saw that this video is from 2018, over 3 years ago and your channel has grown to 114K subscribers, wow! Good job!

Great Videos! I've leaned several things from them. I'm using easel and cant figure out how to use 2 different V-bits on the same project. I'm carving the stars in the union on a flag with a 90, and want to change to a 60 to do a company logo in the center of the union. I watched your video on using 2 stage carving, but easel want one of the bits to be regular...

Great Video. New Subscriber....How would you set the probe properly if your center/center is in a pocket? Have you ever had that problem?

Your video was excellent. I have been having issues about two stage carving with my x-carve. I just bought the machine and am learning. How do you keep from moving the spindle when changing bits? Also where can I purchase the bump stock?

ya lo he averiguado

How do you change the bit without moving the x and y my motors are locked but they still move when I put pressure to losen the bit maybe I'm over tightening the bit please help how tight do they have to be

How do be sure the spindel will not move during bit changes. I have had many problems with that

How do you know when the roughing is finished and when to change bits? Cheers.

I'm new to the game and in the process of deciding on the software to learn. Don't want to start with a program that I will grow out of quickly. Looking at Vcarve Desktop, Fusion 360, Carveco Maker and Easel. Seems like everyone is either using Vcarve or Fusion 360. If your are going to learn one which o ne would you suggest?

Sir, do you ever have trouble with the router moving while doing the bit change to the detail bit? When loosening the collet my router is moving and I thought it would be locked in place. Thanks

In free easel which bit would you use for the detailed pass since you can’t select the v bit without purchasing the easel pro? I’m just starting out!

did I miss something, watched three times , when or how did you set two stage carving ?

Hi, is there a way to lock the x y drives so when i change the bit the router doesn't move

can you explain and do a video on centre justifying text so than you can centre it all on your material?

Thanks for the video, I'm new to X-carve and haven't done 2 stage carve yet. Is there still a possibility when changing the bit, the router can be moved ever so slightly? Can one use the last XY setting command to get around that or can homing / limit switches be use to calibrate back to original position? Thanks.

How do you change the bits without moving the x or y axis?

Am I correct that you can't use the v bits unless you get the pro version of Easel?

This really isn't about two stage carving but hope you can help. All of a sudden there is no way to open another window when working on a project. Also if I open an older project all the extra windows that I created are gone. Can this be fixed?

Hey Paw Paw. I tried to duplicate this project as best I could so I could compare carve times, but mine differs from yours considerably. I created the same design and used the same bits, and I did NOT adjust the feed rates. Your simulation estimated 7 minutes for the roughing pass and 17 minutes for the detail pass. When I do it, it estimates 11 minutes and 30 minutes. Any idea why there would be such a difference??

I noticed the Southeastern University signs. Are you from that area?

I've tried this. My problem is that I can't change the bit without moving the router. So I never end up back at the same zero. Any suggestions?

Please make a video on stage carving. I mean words on top of words.

Good Morning... I don’t have an X-carve but I do have a SainSmart 3018. I’m assuming that these instructions can be applied to my machine. If not, what should I be doing different. Also, I want to save this to a “flash drive” and copy it to my lap top in the garage, what kind of problems would I have? Thanks

When exporting the 2 stage gcodes to then upload to another program like UGS, does it export as 2 separate gcodes or does is export it just as 1 gcode that pauses after the roughing pass to allow the bit change?

Do you recommend I get a z probe? What exactly does this addition do?

How did you make bump stops

How do u like ur xcarve?....mine is a.late 2015 version

como se pone mas claro el fondo.A mi me desaparece el texto

Hi paw paw....has your xcarve ever lst steps on y axis....mine does all the time...its aggravating..belts tight...wheels tight...

how do you do a 2 stage carve from Vcarve to easel?

What size is your x-carve?

😯👍👍👍👌

Is this the 1000x1000?

that was bump stop.

Hi paw paw....in my opinion its bad for the xcarve to store it vertically....you are putting irregular force on components not designed that way....success or not.....its a bad idea....it would most certainly twist and bend components...and go out of square at a minimum .....thanks

The intro music was way to loud compared to the rest of audio. Otherwise thanks for the video

The constant camera shaking made me seasick.
