I'd love to purchase one of your kits but cannot find them listed anywhere...only the files for sale. In the video you refer to a kit that would the wood panels, the paper, the leather, the screws, etc. Am I missing something?? Thank you!

can you cut these on aura machine? new to lasers thanks

[@guntercreative]

Sure! As long as you use a size that will fit your bed. I believe that’s 12x12. These are designed for using 1/8” plywood, so test your settings to make sure it cuts through cleanly. That’s one trick for making sure the hinge doesn’t break. If it doesn’t cut through perfectly, it is likely to crack.

On your paper, are you using a roll that you cut and tear or looseleaf and what weight? I have been trying to decide if I want the 100lb or if that’s too heavy?

[@guntercreative]

I’ve tried rolls but they are too hard to flatten. I like to use strathmore drawing paper in 18x24 pads and it’s 80# text weight. I think 100# would work too as long as it’s not cover weight/card stock.
