Thanks for your smooth and calm delivery to my chaotic brain! I forget who sent me here but 1000 thanks!
By the way! If you put the cutting board rectangle on a Tool Path (T1 or T2), you can set the letters to fill!
Blessings upon you my friend. I grew up in Slidell. I share your link all the time.
Hi, nice video. I am a beginner and what I miss a little is how you tread the plywood, mdf .... after the laser work. Maybe a suggeston for some videos.
Do you mean treat? It depends on the job and what they're used for. This one is decorative, so I treated it with Shellac.
Have you done a video that shows how to get rid of lines on a recipe card? Your videos are amazing by the way.....so easy to follow. Glad I found you Sir!
I did one, but it didn't have lines. The process is the same except for tracing. scrub the sliders until the lines go away. Have a look: ua-cam.com/video/Td11OvYX2ss/v-deo.html
Could you do these recipes on a plastic cutting board, or would it melt?
I wanted to purchase some of these cutting boards before the price goes up (news media says Dollar Tree will raise prices to 1.25 starting next year) but I can't find them on the Dollar Tree web site. Do you have a link that will take me to the boards?
Sure don't... the manager at the store told me that the supplier from China discontinued selling them to DG because of the new tariffs that started in Mar of this year. I'm guessing that they won't be available anymore.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy Yup, I tried two different Dollar Tree and the workers never heard of the cutting boards, so we are need to find another supplier. What do you think of Balsa plywood?
@@jessetutterrow4320 Problem is, Balsa is not a dense wood, bamboo is. I'm going to be buying 8" boards from a local lumber supplier and cutting them down in the woodshop for my use. That's the only way I can even get close to the price DG had.
Thanks for the video, really helpful!
Wow, my very first like! I'm glad you liked the video! Thank you so much!
Bro. You can also select he mistake your wife made and delete that part and move the rest closer to make it look like mistake never happened. ;) Thanks for the great video.
I engraved a cutting board with text. Worked fine. Then I added a second line of text on another go around and it engraved it backwards! Job origin did not change (center). Device origin did not change (lower left). Does anybody have an idea as to why this happened?
Something changed, no idea what, but Lightburn doesn't invert anything on its own. Never hear of this happening before. The only way I can see it happening is if the device origin changed, but you said it didn't. Might be a question better suited for the Lightburn Forum.
Just a friendly correction: the reason the preview was all black is because of the rectangle. Setting it to line will give you outlines of the letters. After you deleted the rectangle you can put it back to fill and it will preview, and burn, correctly.
BTW: your videos are better than Lightburn's own tutorials.
Thanks for the comment! I had already done a few of these in fill mode and they were okay. Line mode has a much crisper and more detailed burn. I even tried Fill + Line, but I like line the best. Thanks so much for watching and the great comments! 👍
You can get rid of that Border by assigning it to the Layer 'T1' or 'T2' They will never be burned. U can choose to frame or not.
I usually do that Robin as you'll see in some of my other videos, but I like to show more than one way to skin a cat!
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy Yes I see 👍 I just started with laser engraving. Love ur videos they are a great inspiration.
No plans on making money, but I need to tell you that your form of teaching is also the best I've found for my personal learning.
Wow, thank you! Sometimes I feel like it's slow and rambling, but I don't want to miss explaining any steps like most videos do. I'm really glad you like it! Thank you!
