Hello Everyone, I'm new

[ericguti123]

Hello everyone,

I’m new to this forum. My CW is shipping, I expect to receive it very soon. I can’t wait to get cracking at it. I’ve been making Electric Guitars for the last 10 years – Handcrafted so working with my CW will be a real pleasure. I’m curious about patterns, maybe I just don’t understand, but why can’t you just make your own patterns and create carvings from that? For example, if I make a pattern for an electric guitar, can’t I just probe it and save it for future use? Please feel free to chime in before I start experiencing buyer’s remorse. Oh yeah, what's this Rock thing? I look forward to sharing ideas and concepts with all of you! :cool:

You can make your own patterns to carve or probe scan a Carving and and save it for your projects.
The Rock Chuck is an after market replacement for the original Quck chcuck that comes on the CW or CC machine.
If you can do a Forum search on the Rock Chuck for more info and posts about it.
Plus all the Tips and Tricks files are a great place to start.

When your Machine comes --Save the box and all the packing Materials
also check for any loose screws or bolts and make sure the Flex-Shaft and other moving parts are lubed

Hello Kenm810,

I appreciate the advise, will do I'll save everything and hope I don't have to send anything back for reparis. I'll make sure all the screws and bolts are tight, and check the Flex-Shaft for proper lub. Since you're a senior member, I added you to my buddy list.
