Great tutorial Lee! Thank you so much for sharing this! I have been working with an "Arda" guitars model for a while, tried in Rhinoceros first, got a very decent result but not as precise as this methos of yours, I will try this with the design and will get back to you with the result see if you like em! Have a great day!

Cool, I was wondering how things were going with you. If you got a body milled?

@@leecraftsmen5702 I am rebuilding the whole design from scratch, as the sketch was not centered, i thought it was but then after making a few necks and that they all showed some weird things like the contour you know we did it in 2 steps, top side first and then back side, well, the contour was off by a little every time, i thought i was placing it incorrectly on my fixture, so i filled in the holes, made them again and made another neck, same thing so i tried a last time, same thing. I used my calipers and took some measurements on the neck, found out the truss rod cavity was a little off center, i went back to my design and foudn indeed it was off center and somehow i had this on a center line that was not centered. So yeah, I'm starting from scratch and trying to get a better design. I designed a V shaped guitar but i still don't have the wood for that one and still can't decide if it will be a flat headstock or angled one... other than that, i'm good! lol

Any flex at all in the cnc will create an offset. If I ever build another CNC I will use much bigger rails and guides. I mill all my parts from the back first. I try to avoid any contour cuts from the back. Any cuts that go from the top all the way to the back are done from the top. If that makes since?

Even still there is a lot of shaping and sanding after the cnc work.

i guess it the jumping around on the Projection that wont work for me :(

Hi Luis, Maybe I can help?

Hi Lee, I am learning with your video. thanks for that. What do you do at 20:46 to connect the top level. I can't understand the command to open the second pulldown in the sketch layer. Paul

@leecraftsmen5702

Hello Paul, Thanks for watching my video. This is a very important command. It is called "Project". The path is available in the sketch environment. Meaning you must be creating or editing a sketch to have the menu. The Path is SKETCH, CREATE, PROJECT/INCLUDE, PROJECT. Or just press the "P" key on the keyboard. Hope that Helps. Lee

To be more correct, "Projecting" does not connect the two Sketches. It duplicates in perfect alignment ( straight up or straight down) between two work planes. As I tried to explain at the start of this video. I am drawing on the bottom most work plan ( back of the guitar) and then projecting straight up from the back of the guitar. This way fits my mind set. You will certainly have moments in your thinking were you might think, " hey , I could do that a better way." and you should. :)

@@leecraftsmen5702 thanks so much. You will certainly have moments when you think, "Hey, I could do better than that," and you should :) No, I certainly don't think that. Your work is a great help to me. I just started Fusion 360 a week ago. I'm taking advantage of an extended sick leave to get up to speed. I normally build acoustic guitars without CNC. I would like to try cnc milling a soundboard of an arch top guitar and then compare them to the hand planed ones.

What a great video Lee! I wish I had seen a video like this a long time ago. You're absolutley correct about using sculpting. It is tedious, time consuming abd much more difficult to understand. I don't believe the results are that much better. I've been wanting to do a PRS style body for quite some time but as you said, if there's one already available why not just use it. I'd only want to do it myself to improve my CAD skills. Thanks again for the video.
