I managed to make the G-sender flattening option spiral downward into the wood I was flattening. Back then, I used the computer in my office to run the Longmill. I, too, was reluctant to rush to the machine and press the emergency switch. Instead, I opted to peek from behind my door and hope for the best. You can spiral down a one-inch bit into wood for so long before it becomes stuck and locks the router. The longmill kept on going, dragging the wood out of its clamping and around the table until the router bellowed out a large cloud of smoke and shorted out the electricity. Here I was, in the dark, in my garage, behind an electric-operated door. Lucky for me, I had the key to the back door with me, which wasn't always the case. I left that key at home more or less 50% of the time. Now it has become a safety standard to have the key and unlock the backdoor before working the CNC. On top of that, I installed dedicated outlets for the machine using low-amp circuit breakers. The machine doesn't need 16-amp breakers. So I installed 6 amp cbs for the router and machine. If, no when the machine or the routershort out, both will be killed without switching off the house. On top of that, I rewired the new breaker box via a redundant light switch in my office, so I can kill the machine without having to run towards the mayhem or wait for it to go up in smoke. I have an IP camera system with a camera above the machine so I can monitor its progress from the arm chair in the house, and I have a webcam dead center above the machine for easy outlining irregular pieces. That camera runs in lightburn and gives me a monitor in my office. But!! I would not want to lose the EM button on the machine. It can be a lifesaver, and it needs to be within reach every time, all of the time.

The reason that the cable is short is so that if you are using the machine alone and you become entrapped eg with clothing or impaled, U Can hit the 'stop' with one hand and not get pulled into the bit...If you've ever had Ur shirt tails go into any equipment u'll know why it's there lol U can always wire an auxiliary one to the outside, but maybe just the master switch on the powerboard can do the same thing? Its very unlikely that the machine will explode 😊 more likely is a bit to break so always wear goggles! Great video btw and good luck with the guitars. I think Ur gonna smash it!

Hey thanks for the alternative perspective, you make a good point about getting snagged in the machine 🤔 I’ll rethink how to wire that button now!

I only started learning how to play guitar about a little over a month ago & I'm documenting my entire journey on here so watching this was super interesting!

I’m glad you’re back, I was wondering why I hadn’t seen or heard anything from your channel in a while. Good to see the new designs and super cool that you are working towards a launch of you’re own line of gear we can drool over. lol… looking forward to seeing more. Thanks, take care Dan. 🎸🤓👍 after thought/idea: electrical sensors for heat or smoke or both that triggers a kill switch on the router it’s self or whatever it’s connected to that powers it.

So nice to see you back Dan. Cant wait to see what you have cooking, especially that neck-through bass you teased, I cant wait to see these ideas turn into reality.

Missed you Matt, glad to see you back at it. Cannot wait to see another awsome build. May God keep blessing you and your family.

Glad to see you back in the saddle. And I have to say that your growth on this channel is amazing to watch, from DIY kits all the way to this. I’m about to hop on the ol’ horse again soon too. Need to do a little construction first.

Hey I got the opportunity the try out your vintage/modern pj set from your site and I really dug them, would you consider making a version with alnico 2 instead of alnico 5 just for the j pickup? I think it would be awesome and just add a little extra to an already good sounding set of pickups, just throwing my idea out into the ether…

Hey G&G, Just subbed your channel. Whatcha think about Smith and Wesson moving from blue state to Tennessee? I'd love if enough other companies followed their example & hope it'd have enough impact on the blues that they'd made some changes > the right changes.

Greetings. Great video about the Joyo Bantamp BadASS. After I watch that video, I've got an idea and I want to suggest you about the bass gear review. What if you make review video of Joyo FOH ? It's a smallest Bass DI as far as I know. I think it will improve lil' bit about a absence-of-DI-out problem on the Joyo Bantamp BadASS. I hope that you read this comment and make it happen. Thank you very much for keep making great affordable gear reviews. It means a lot to me, especially as Indonesian who can't get a lot of great cheap gear options in my own country. Cheers!! P.S. Sorry for my bad English ✌🏽

It is great to see you again Dan. A question for you! How do you ship your guitars when someone purchased them? Do you also build a case? Sell addditional bags? I just wonder

@GunsandGuitars

9 ай бұрын

I used to make a hard case an optional upgrade, but now I’m just including it in the cost of the instrument, because by the time I buy a box and packaging supplies, it costs nearly the same, but the instrument is far safer shipped in a hard case, so yeah that’s what I do now

@@GunsandGuitars Do you not box the guitar in the case? Or are you just taping the shipping label right on the case?

I think the fear of a palm router sending wood and bit chunks flying is a bit overstated. If something happens it's going to be over in an instant; it's not a 15 horse spindle mill that can throw large chunks of metal at high velocity. You just have to deal with the expensive aftermath. I think unattended fire is the bigger concern, I've seen cheaper palm routers go from fine to smoky in a hurry, but never to the point of making flames. Never know, though.

I usually prefer a neck through bass, though from the building side isn't the major advantage that you dont NEED a single large slab? Also it looks like you could probably 3d print adapters to use your hand routing setup with the CNC, and speed things up without too much additional investment

Would love a 3 neck guitar.. maybe my next album....

Yeah but does it work on Linux? If it works on a Raspberry Pi, it ought to work on Linux, as most of those are Linux based. A neck through bass sounds really cool. I love the idea of a neck through concept and on a bass that should be really, really good. I haven't done CNC yet, but I've got my eye on it for the future. I think I could use one for guitar cutouts and necks. So maybe one of these days. And this one is really cool!

In terms of safety switch, it would be a lot better to rig up a separate switch that connects to the power supply that the router plugs into rather than extend the existing cable. In that way should something happen like someone gets caught in the machines workings (either a limb or are being dragged in through their clothing) they can still hit the existing button to turn the router off which extending the cable would remove. Having a fire alarm mounted directly above it or on the wall next to it might not be a bad precaution and they are dirt cheap.

@GunsandGuitars

Yeah man I think these are really good suggestions. I’ll definitely get a fire alarm, just need one that’s loud enough I can hear it outside the shed over the sound of the router

A proper e-stop is something that many of these machines, bizarrely lack. They aren't that expensive or hard to integrate, it shouldn't be rare for manufacturers to include them.
