Beautiful build dude. Have you tried using fixtures? I used to machine my bodies like you did in this video, leaving tabs and flipping half way but sometimes I ended up having problems with the position of the stock shifting a bit, resulting in lots of sanding to save the part. Now I cut all the way through and place it in a fixture that I butt up against a fence, then use edge finding on the corner of the fixture. It took me a while to build it but if you're building the same stuff a lot it ends up saving way more than it costs.

I have thought of doing something like this, though my builds tend to all be a tiny bit different so I never implemented it. I have since switched to leaving some stock to leave on the top when I do the perimeter and then cut all the way through from the bottom (with no tabs but masking tape and superglue to hold the body), followed by a full depth cleanup pass to eliminate any minor misalignment.

Hey, idk if for you it's the same problem and if you still haven't figured it out but I had these random stops you're talking about, using a different controller but also using mach3. I was reading something unrelated, about idling cpu cores and it dawned on me that it could have something to do with the machine stopping. Now I just let some 12 hour long video or something playing in the background and the issue goes away.

I think in my case it was the controller and not the pc that has the issue. When it freezes, the pc still works normally but the controller is unresponsive. I ended up fixing the issue by switching to a Masso controller instead of Mach3.

Anyone building a pickup should know that the VOLTAGE induced in the coil is a function of the speed of the change in the velocity of the magnetic field. (Simplified explanation ). That's why a coil with a large number of turns has more output on the low strings, but the large distributed capacitance and resistance of that winding will roll off the highs, even though the voltage induced by the hi strings may be higher. ( The voltage is also a function of how far the strings travel. (No one said it was easy). All this can cause a lot of coloration on the output. On the other hand, the low impedance pickups (one turn?) have CURRENT in the winding changing. This means the response is mostly only affected by the action of the strings. Most of this type pickup will use a transformer to match the low impedance to the amp. This transformer can also influence tone. The Lace pickup is a prime example. Everyone is welcome to their own opinion on pickups. Diversity is good.

On your "programming the keyboard" section, shouldn't the OS handle delay and spam? If you hardcode it in the controller, how are you then gonna change any of this? Then, I've not done a keyboard before, so I don't know, but should the keyboard really be sending characters? I thought they send keydown identifiers which then are translated into chars by the OS, and sometimes a KD id might not even be a printable char but could trigger some kind of application or OS event. So maybe what those key Ids do or how they are translated is handled by a driver for the OS? So yeah, your keyboard won't work in any OS, anywhere, unless there is something I missed?

How long did it take you to build your shop, did you buy all your tools with the guitar $?
@DarkArtGuitars
@DarkArtGuitars Ай бұрын
I've been building my shop for a few years now, mostly by making videos on here. But end of last year/beginning of this year I did a big overhaul to set it up more for guitar building. I had to invest some $, but all in all it wasn't too bad as I already had my CNC and many other tools I collected over the years. While you definitely don't need all these tools to get started building guitars, if you want to be productive enough to make some money with it, you first need to invest some to get the tools that speed up the work. Kind of a chicken and egg thing ;)

It's been really stable, there have been some software updates too that address some of my issues, but I haven't updated mine yet. I'm planning on building a new cnc with it in summer, I'll have some more videos then. In general as long as it covers all the functions you need I really like it. It's just not super customizable, but very easy to set up and use in return.

Nice insights here, I'm curious about 2 things though. 1. I see you're still doing the fretboard separately, did you ever experiment with glueing it up before as you mention in this video? 2. What sort of speeds and feeds are you running with that 0.5mm bit? I'm impressed every time I see it, and the amount of material you are able to remove for the inlays without destroying bits is really impressive!
@DarkArtGuitars
@DarkArtGuitars 2 ай бұрын
1. I did it once, but the work holding of the neck is much more difficult, plus it is more strict on the order of operations so I went back to making them separately. I've had it where there was a bit more work when leveling and radiusing because of this that could have been avoided, but not enough to make me go back. 2. For the inlay I usually go in with a 2mm endmill first to remove the bulk of the material and then do rest machining with 0.3mm stepdown and around 500mm/min for the 0.6mm tool. But still some of the more involved inlays might take an hour or so to cut.

Ratrig cost way too much in canada. I cant believe you're a european and not obsessed with electronic music. I remember when i was younger, tons of awesome metal bands came from europe. I enjoy building effect circuits for pedals to give away but people are onsessed with synths and silly simplistic synth circuits. Youve done dome awesome guitar builds. Pcbway sponsor people using the communist party propaganda fund. I wont give them a dime because i dont support genocide or the mistreatment of the rest of the population. No offense but it sickens me when i hear people praise them. They hate us too right, they're isolatism is worst than japan or the germans last century. I wiah more people would boycott china. They are sending throusands of dji drones to russia and the middle east to kill people ffs. Sorry to be a downer. I respect your work as a luthier. You should be doing that instead of praising the comunists. Or you could practice your guitar. Not everyone needs to be famous on yt man. You're super talented man and better than this. Id buy a guitar from you. I plan to buy the 8 string tim henson ibanez when i get my new ibanez paid off.
