My Summer has been busier than ever! I just returned from a trip to Germany and Belgium. While in Germany I spent some time with the inventor of the composite double top guitar, Gernot Wagner. Of course I had my video camera rolling, so be on the look out for future content about that. 
  
Upon my return I launched a brand new online course at the Lutherie Academy. CNC FOR LUTHIERS. 
I collaborated with Bob Mizek of Roberts Luthiery to create this course. 
If you are on the fence about getting a CNC machine or perhaps already have a CNC and want to become more proficient with designing projects and using it, then this is the course for you. Bob is a great teacher and this course will take years off your learning curve, saving you time, money and frustration!
Bob is offering the course at 10% OFF for a limited time. No coupon code required. The price already reflects the 10% discount. 

Here are some of the topics you learn about in the course:
  • What to consider when purchasing a CNC
  • Types of software
  • Cutting tools
  • Routers and spindles
  • Dust collection
  • Measuring
  • Holding the workpiece
  • Designing your project
  • Profiles and tool paths
  • Making radius dishes and molds
  • Cutting out guitar bodies
  • Neck pockets and pickup cavities
  • How to radius an archtop guitar body
  • Inlay
  • And much more!
Here is what others are saying about the CNC FOR LUTHIERS COURSE

Great contribution, there's nothing out there like this - Dany

You have no excuses now! And I love his accent, it is super easy to follow for us non native English speakers. That's another bonus! - Paco in Spain

This is what I was waiting for! - Juan

 I’m so glad you did this course. Too many builders are scared away from CNC because they try to jump straight into Fusion 360 or Rhino and model an acoustic neck. There are tons of great uses for CNC in a luthiers workshop which don’t require a single bit of 3D modeling. Vectric software is very accessible, even for those not totally comfortable with their PC, and there are loads of videos on Youtube that take you step by step. I hope this course is a great seller for you. - Brad
