I started a podcast!
Hey guys! We're so glad you found us! We're excited to share this new endeavor for us. When Brian and I (Ben) got to talking in the shop we realized we had an abundance of makers in our small community. We thought it would be fun to get together in person and talk about the maker life. We think it adds to the conversation to be able to talk to someone in the same room. We know there are many different types of makers in this world, and we wanted to included them all in our conversations. We knew that just two guys talking to each other wasn't as exciting as a group so we went on the hunt for a third host. That's when we approached Coty. We know Coty through a friend of a friend type situation. He's a full time woodworker and around our age. We all quickly became fast friends. Coty jumped on board to co-host with us. He may be absent for some episodes when we have guest co-hosts join in. He's got a full time job and family to take care of so we'll give him a pass. We hope you enjoy the podcast. We know we're new and starting out so growing pains are part of the deal. We're no pros at this stuff. Our mics may sound fuzzy, our conversations may take an odd turn, but the intent to entertain and occasionally inform will always be our goal. Welcome to the Build Guild! -Ben, Brian, and Coty.

 In this video I walk you through configuring a GRBL based hobby CNC (specificly a Shapeoko 3 XXL) for use with a J Tech Laser and Lightburn software. The CNC and Jtech aren't your typical laser configuration like a standalone unit would be, so there's some extra steps to configuring Lightburn with the Jtech and the Shapeoko. These steps should work with most other hobby grade CNC units like the inventables X-Carve. I'm using a Jtech 4.2w Laser. Need an easy way to store you unused Dewalt 20v/flexvolt batteries? This 3d printed bracket is a simple, easy, and fast way to add storage to any surface using two screws. These work perfectly for any size Dewalt 20v or Flexvolt battery. I've been making colored pencils bowls for years now and decided to film the process from mold to finished colored pencil bowl. You'll notice in the beginning that there is a larger mold that's sliced up into 3 sections. I make one mold and it turns into 3 bowls. Since it's handturned, not every bowl is the exact same. Watch the video below.

I walk you through how to cut out multiple tool paths with endmills and v bits. Also show how to use the probe with a v bit. In this one we actually cut the sign on the CNC. I created this video series aimed at the true beginner to hobby CNC's. Although Carbide Create is made for the Shapeoko, it can be used for any CNC because it just generates G-Code. Please leave any info i left out that you want to know about in the comments below. I'll be out with more videos soon.
