Great, Helpful, Understandable video! Thanks! 🏆

Best tutorial, regards from Brazil.

I extrude the laminated top but it doesn't move like in the video. Is it already joined to the body?

The only tip I wish was easy to find is how to get back in Fusion to files I created in a Fusion 360 account years ago, but have not had occasion to access again till now. But now Fusion 360 refuses to load, and downloading Fusion under my account does not work either. But Autodesk support, both AI and human, failed to answer the question...

I'm actually trying to work out what you're doing at 0:20 with the three point arc, it looks very useful

how would you dynamically pattern this so you can use a list of hole sizes ( think socket sets with diffrent socket sizes in a list) to build the model to keep even spacing btwn diff holes and then change the list and have it stay built ( and label the holes to the matching dimension metric or imperial )

Great, I’ve seen the tool bar too. Thanks for nothing.

If you aren’t facing either side, how do you get rid of the tabs left by a contour cut?

Just found your channel today. Got any tips for a total newbie tutorial for Fusion 360? The speed is way to fast for me, the most advanced thing i have was a cube with rounded corners, and 3d printed it.

Hell yes. This was helpful!

Great video, taught me a few useful new tricks. Your knife, sir, it will keel! 😉(missing pegs, though 🙃)

Amazing, I learned a lot about workflows. I identified some terrible things I was doing lol

Thank you so much, Austin! Followed your every step and now I have a clear understanding how to create this kind of design. Well done! ❤

You know what ? They could simply steal the spline code from 3ds max since this is still autodesk (those are almost like the pen from Photoshop, you can even have corner bezier where you can move the handles separately and independently of each other).

Thanks for this excellent video. It's still helping people in 2024.

This video is absolutely amazing, but I was REALLY hoping you were going to show how you did the curves on the top of the lid and bottom of the box :(

Really cool! Had to rewatch the first min a few times, didnt get it, but got it on the second sweep. ❤

where can I get the groomsman box CAD/dimensions so I can follow along?

WOW, this was REALLY helpful. Thank you for the detailed explanation with multiple approaches.

@Austin Shaner I don't think this is working properly. I've attempted to model a 5 string bass at 34" scale with a Zero fret. Any changes I make to the parameter for Zero Fret Offset has no affect on the design. The fingerboard stops where the Zero fret should be and is only 25.829 total length so there is NO SLOT for the Zero fret and there is no offset either. So this FB would be cut short and not work at all. 😞 Update: After playing with this quite a bit more, if I make changes at 1" increments for both scale values, I'm able to slowly scale it up to my dimensions. It's slow going, but eventually works by making each scale change and saving.

There is only one tip: run away and don't pay those liars. They kept saying F360 will always be free for hobbysts, diy'er. They lied.

Yeah, this is beautiful

Can the program print out a pattern for the Cope?

Hi, I tried with a violin shape and it does not work because of the horns. Any idea on how to accomplish that arches with a violin shape? tks Seby

Great, thanks for sharing

this definitely need more views! Working with Fusion for 4 years now and still learned some tweaks. keep up the great work and cheers from germany

Great!!

Tip 3 surprised me at first but then clicked perfectly. I've been trying to learn surface modeling and 3D sketching just feels clunky. Using an intersection curve between two orthogonal 2D sketches makes so much sense.

Thinking like an engineer is such a good tip.

Joints are trash, they rly gotta go solidworks geometry based logic

Thank you

Fantastic as always Austin!

Thanks for not editing the mistakes and allowing me to learn from yours.. ❤

Wow amazing video covering this tool. I had only ever used Solid or Sketch. I didn't even know the Mesh, Surface, Sheet Metal and Utilities were buttons. I hate this new Metro design programmers are going for. I'm sure its great once you know how to use the app but I miss the days when you could find all tools from a drop down menu. In my opinion they are moving backwards with a lot of this stuff. If you don't call out that something is a button people will not know they can click it and most likely never will.

As a newcomer to hobby cnc, this is by far the best tutorial I have come across. Concise, easy to understand, and beautifully depicted with a real world example that Id be happy to make for myself. Thanks Austin. I've subscribed and smashed that bell, which is not something I do very often.

so helpful!!

Thank you so much for explaining this in a very clear way.

Some advice... Rather than upload your video immediately after you've captured it, maybe watch the thing and scrutinize it thoroughly beforehand? This video is mostly helpful; though enduring your mistakes and subsequent befuddlement undermines your intent. And at nearly an hour, it's tedious. Practice what you want to demonstrate and the information you want to convey. Record that instead.

Can you create the template that Marry’s the stock from any material to be reusable or is this template part of the stock?

Did you create the model for the dial indicator jig?

Great Video! When dealing with variable chamfer, I use a slightly different method... First apply the variable fillet, in surface modelling, Select the fillet and entire edge under the fillet, hit delete. Create a Ruled surface of the top curved edge, and apply an angle... say 110deg, stretch it out well past the bottom face of the guitar. Extrude the bottom curved edge of the guitar up, well past the Ruled edge. Using trim tool remove the 2 unwanted parts. Stitch everything together. This method reduces steps, is still parametric, the exact draft angle of the chamfer if defined. Analysis tools show a cleaner body. You can also use the same process to loft with rails, using the ruled surface as trim tools for the side curved surface.

Thanks for all the great videos! ...But no one should solder through the holes on the potentiometers, it does have any benefit, it only makes it harder when you need to make repairs. Desoldering can get quite complicated and time consuming, you might even need to take more stuff apart instead of just targeting a simple solder point. Besides, you don't need that holding power on cables without any stress/movement. Just saying...

Hope you know you’re still helping people two years later!

Unfortunate that this method doesn't work if your headstock is angled. Intersection curve projection projects circles an arcs correctly but not splines and lines. Splines and lines are projected as they were not angled?. Probably a bug in the software. Work around is to project the headstock outline to a surface.

What a brilliang tutorial!! Straight to the point. You are hammering that knowledge straight into our brains!

Is it possible to show how you design a neck with angled headstock? Also with the long holes for classic guitar mechanics? That will be really cool!
