Nice, I'm learning from this build. I like the fact you're showing us the mistakes that append along the process.

[@BaradaGuitars]

Yes of course, I should show you exactly what happened regardless of what you will think about that. Showing that will help you to avoid these mistakes and learn that in the easy way. Many thanks

[@SystematicMechanic]

What you should try is put 2 holes at each end of your neck stock on the center line about a .25 inches in and drill those exact same holes at the exact same places on your waste board, then you can use 2 dowel pins to lock the neck stock " Neck board" in place. Then all you need is some hold down clamps. Also this allows for 2 sided milling or shaping of the neck. I do this and All I use is some hold down clamps. You simple drill locations holes for your neck and fret board for shaping and gluing. Oh and don't do it by hand use the CNC machine to do it.

[@BaradaGuitars]

I think the dowels are so important for accuracy, but clamps to hold down your wood blank is not that important if your wood is flat, or if you wanna try to flatten wood, you can clamp them from the side or use a double sided tape, you should not clamp the wood down and let it has the shape the the piece of the wood indeed has to be able to flatten it, if you clamp down everything, after releasing the clams everything will return to its original shape. Thank you for watching

[@billgilbride7972]

I would encourage you to gather some inexpensive 2x4's glued up, then practice interrupting and picking up g code from the terminal. It's just terrible to mess up, so it's important to mess up on crap wood. The machine is totally capable for the job! Oh when you do the g code practice, record it for the next part of this journey! Thanks for sharing

[@BaradaGuitars]

I wanted to do it that way, but unfortunately I don’t have enough time to do two times, so went directly with the real one. Thank you for your time and support

[@pipwerks]

Great walkthrough, thanks for sharing

[@BaradaGuitars]

Thank you!

[@tomyoung2065]

I appreciate the honesty starting at 19:30. I've made exactly the same kind of mistake.

[@BaradaGuitars]

Thanks a lot!

[@jasonmare33]

too cool!

[@rauschguitars]

I love watching a CNC work! I should get one some day.

[@BaradaGuitars]

You definitely should get one. It’s so much fun, although I will continue doing Handcrafted Builds like I always did without a CNC machine, but having one is a big help for making some templates and complicated inlays and a lot more.

[@rvabarndoors]

Thanks!

[@dimebag2486]

Thanks

[@djcjy1351]

Good

[@BaradaGuitars]

Thanks

[@lush462]

Nice! Thanks for sharing. What mekanika size you use?

[@BaradaGuitars]

I’m using the Mekanika Evo M (stands for medium) Thank you for watching

[@lush462]

@@BaradaGuitars thanks! Looking to go CNC as well mostly for acoustic guitar building. Will probbaly go for a Mekanika or Shapeoko.

[@BaradaGuitars]

@@lush462 in your case, I would probably go with the Mekanika because it’s more value for the money, and you still have the option to upgrade it in the future, just with buying the upgrade kit that mekanika will offer in the near future and you will have at the end a pro machine without having to pay for two machines.

[@lush462]

@@BaradaGuitars Yes I am leaning towards Mekanika. I live in Belgium so service would also be a factor.

[@user-vj6rt3ud9l]
