thanks it was a good project utilizing layers ,i used vcarve pro (aspire) to do the layout.
I'm anxious to do more designs

What did you do in the program

**woodman08** · 02-16-2009, 11:08 AM

I scanned in the body diagram and the cavities diagram created a pdf file then dragged the diagram over the blank piece of wood and started working at the vectors ,cleaning them up the creating 6 tool paths for the different operations,(depth and cuts)did a few test runs and then that was it .That was 3-4hours work.
But once you have this then its just a matter of gluing up another blank.

Beautiful job bro! how easy is the Vector V Carve software to use ? I would love to start doing something like this well done keep the pictures coming

I bought aspire after xmas but still have not used it and i found that vcarve pro (also aspire ) is quite easy to adapt to projects ,takes a bit of messing around but it does the job ,us humans are whats hold it back.
I am really enjoying what i have done ,the most rewarding is when you take on a project right from the idea then get it in the software produce the code and then watch the machine cut it out,flawless after a few goes.
I even record it to show friends---have i made a fortune ,no not a cent but learning all the time

drilled all the holes ,sanded both sides,then the edges a bit (cnc cuts smooth 1/2 carbide end mill) and its ready for shipping less than 2 hours total (excluding the wood prep blank)(including 3 tool changes)
Very interesting project ,i'm going to try a strat next
