I run a small boutique guitar shop on in the coastal city of Goderich.
A good year ago I bought a used Longmill MK2 30x30 from a gentleman whose health was failing him. The CNC sat in my partners garage with minimal use because life can get busy. The good news is that it will be coming to me now and that’s exciting.
I have CarveCo Maker but am cutting my teeth on Fusion 360 which I really like a lot.
I’m working from my MacBook Air for design but have my Dell laptop ready with gSender.
Welcome to what I call the dungeon. I bet the longmill will make a great tool in your shop.
Are you going to make bodies with it or fretboards and that kind of stuf?
Have you seen the guitar making tutorial Sienci put out a while ago (not the altmill carving a aluminum one but the more classic electric guitar? I bet there’s some great tips “n” tick in there for ya, eventhough it is done in vectric.
Danm, didn’t realise it were so many. Anyhow, thought I put em out here, just in case.
Yes! I have seen your videos which are very well done. Lighthearted and fun.
I’ll be doing my headstock faceplates, fingerboard and inlays as well as bodies, both flat top and carve top. Eventually I’ll get tp top plates for jazz type models. I have 8 models now.
Hey Eddie, that’s cool. Glad it got your attention. I do the Elmira Vintage Guitar Show in Elmira every April.
This is my newest model, the Odeum LP. It’s a carve top but will be after I get my feel soaking wet with Fusion360 although I’ve been able to build a few models with tool paths in the last couple days. My Sherwood Classic is a tele inspired model so it’s pretty easy.
