Hi ​@@Philip-Robertswondering what sw you use/recommend to design the layers. I've got many years engineering background starting in cad & photo etching printed circuit board layers before computers had a graphical interface. It was all programmed. Used to spend my down time creating this kind of art in film using "D0 M100 M17" type of commands. You really needed to "see" things in your mind's eye. Love your work. What sw do you use?

[@Philip-Roberts]

@@geriburke1713 I just use illustrator as that was the program that I knew best prior to using laser cutters. However, any vector program will work well with Laser cutters and a bunch of them are even free.

[@olafb.2929]

The layered wood art always blows my mind. Maybe one day I will try it, but just for fun. Or nice presents :)😊

[@justinlaser]

It looks awesome but staring at a blank design file when trying to design one is.....challenging. haha.

[@edschultheis9537]

I think that if a person was going to attempt one of those complex layer art projects, then it would be advisable to start with a rather professional CAD software package. I am a mechanical design engineer and do my own consulting work. I use CREO software (similar to SolidWorks) for my design work. This is software (with a substantial learning curve) used by many small and very large manufacturing businesses to design their products. It costs me about $2500 - $3000 per year for a subscription (on one computer) to use the software and get technical support if/when I may need it. That is the software that I would use to design such complex layered wood art. I can't even imagine attempting to do such a project on a software package such as Lightburn. Lightburn is handy and easy to use. But when I need to cut exact and complex things on my laser cutter, I first design it all in CREO and then export it as a DXF file to import into Lightburn. In Lightburn I simply assign lines to the proper layers, laser speeds, laser power, etc. There are many design tasks that I can do rather easily using the CREO software that seem (to me) next to impossible using the Lightburn software.

[@Philip-Roberts]

Glad you the style. I appreciated that Justin mentioned these aren't simple projects. Also, we screw up SO much. BUT, when something DOES work, it feels good. Go for it.

[@grim789]

I have done these large mandala just find a good color pattern to make the layers really pop there not hard to make tbh easier than the photos on wood 😂.

[@darthkek1953]

The best way to get the art done is to commission it. You'd be surprised the talent pool there is and how cheap it is. I needed some design work done and I put a note on DeviantArt and for a few quid (in the UK) I ended up with an Brazilian art student doing flawless, quick work.

[@justinlaser]

Very true. I outsource the majority of my design work nowadays.

[@ReelSpider]

Bed size doesn't matter that much, using Lightburn's cut and print feature, I can move my diode laser around the piece, and cut the whole thing in sections. It can be finicky, but it does work, and I have made a decent amount of profit from pieces made this way.

[@RaplimNaim]

Layered wood art is so mesmerizing! Thinking of getting a laser cutter too.💡

[@sihovde]

Using the morph tool in illustrator to make some patterns would be cool.

[@justinlaser]

Ill have to check it out. Probably some plug-ins out there as well.

[@carlhammill5774]

I think sweet range is somewhere between $500-800 dollars. A middle/upper class person will easily spend that on nice piece of wood art. For me, I wouldn't consider starting a business that is high volume/low margin as I have been there in past and you just end up a tired dog but at first it feels ok because you are busy.

[@justinlaser]

I agree. If Im doing high vol/low margin again I better have employees because Im not touching it 😂

[@JonDotExe]

You really underestimate how much money wealthy people have. I do web design for an artist who sells his pieces for 20-30k each. He sells several a month, in many cases hand delivering them across the country.

2:37 "If you're looking to make a 32 inch by 24 inch wall piece, you're going to need a working bed size that only comes with more expensive CO2 lasers." Not if you break the design into smaller parts, then glue them together. The customer will never know if the layers are painted.

[@0Turbox]

Do you guys paint over the burned edges, or sand it before painting?

[@DolphinWantsPeace]

You could mask the wood before laser cutting, which will eliminate most burns, requiring less sanding

[@0Turbox]

@@DolphinWantsPeace I do not understand. You cut vertically, how does any mask on top prevent a burn at the sides?

[@DolphinWantsPeace]

@@0Turbox my bad, I understood the question incorrectly. I guess sanding before painting makes the most sense and gives a more professional look.

[@MrAntiKnowledge]

If I had 12k to spend on a lasercut artpiece, I'd just buy a laser cutting machine. But I can see people buying those at those prices, they look phenomenal. There goes a lot more into this than just putting wood into the machine and glueing together what comes out. If there's any amount of work to be done after the laser cut, like grinding away the burnt layers, that's gonna be a lot of workhours with such intricate designs. Obviously the designs themselves will take a lot of time and creativity aswell, but at least that's a one-time work you can reuse. The $2000 Dollhouse seems like a ripoff tho. The design is fairly simplistic. Looks like something you could do for less than $100 as a project together with children with a bit of wood and a wiresaw and some wallpaper samples or paint and stamps. (Minus the furniture)

[@makkir7641]

if u take 12.000 for a piece of wood u can pay for a planner to do the work for u.if this man could make 5000 for a piece he would not spend the time to become youtuber.he would me rich.its like all the other videos that tell u how i made 150000000 in a year.silly stuff.also is really easy to say that u sell 20 pieces but just use this as promotion to sell only one.

Hello, what about one or two-layer laser engraved wooden or metal POD suppliers? I have been trying to look for them without success so far.

[@Tolkoum]

Nice course selling strategies 😎

[@edschultheis9537]

I think that it's a really bad idea to sell the digital files for the doll houses (or any complex product) if also selling the actual finished doll house or DIY assembly doll house. These products are rather complex and retaining the digital files creates a substantial barrier to entry for another craftsman to sell a similar product. The seller runs the substantial risk of wiping out his business of selling 10s or 100s of finished doll houses (at $500 - $1500 each) if he sells the digital files for only $10 - $20. All it takes is one person to buy the digital files, build a similar doll house, and undercut the original seller's price by a couple hundred dollars... and the original seller's business is greatly damaged. IMO, it is simply not worth the risk. I think that the only possible way that it could make sense to sell the digital files is to have them protected with some sort of technology so that they could only be laser cut about 2 - 4 times before the digital files become locked and unuseable. Perhaps there is software technology that can do this.

[@Softmatic]

Have to agree on this. The designs, especially if they get more complex, are your moat. You shouldn't give them away or only with bullet proof contracts.

[@edschultheis9537]

@@Softmatic @semperidem2577 If you're serious about proving that you are the first to develop/create a design, then I have the software to do it. I am a mechanical design engineer consultant. I use Creo 3D-solid model design software for all my designs and inventions. Using that software, I can prove the development of a design from inception to completion, over days, months, and years. Every single time that I hit the save button on a part or assembly, the software puts an exact date and time stamp on that saved file. Each time that the file is saved, a unique new instance of that file is created. So, by reviewing the ten or hundreds of files saved during the course of a product development, it is possible to decisively prove even when a specific feature of a product was first created. I use this software on all my designs. If necessary. this software could be used in a court of law to show exactly the date, hour, minute, and second that a new design was created. Nobody but the original creator (person or business) would have access to this information. The cost of defending such a claim in court is a completely different matter. Unless it is really important, it may be too expensive to have to take such a case to court.

[@elmerkilred159]

$12K, $5K, $3K, are not big price tags. Most people spend this on rent, phones, car payments over a few months, and in the end you end up with nothing, or something that has devalued. The oversaturation of the art market reduces prices for the Waltard crowd who places more value in cheap Chinese made things, than things that are actually worth buying and holding on to.

And literally launched products worldwide, and you just engrave atupid little things but look at this ego 😅😅😅 even with laser I literally make products for people that no one else even thought possible on a laser, and here is a dude who does his little engraving thingy, but thinks he is master. 😆 good luck interconnecting all those layers and painting, if this is your life goal to do that mych labor. I prefer free time and travel and simply focus on more efficient projects with better returns. In order to make a $100 product on a laser it takes me around 3 minutes cutting, 3 mnutes cleaning, 3 minutes assembly with 3d printed parts, that also took a minute each to print. So 10 minutes for $100 return from a person who is so limited, but you do you lmao

[@musc258]

Probably took 100hours just to design it

[@bwk321]

Machine time is a factor in any manufacturing process. So is machine operator time. A laser may do the actual cutting once everything is set up, but the operator must monitor machine operation. This has many hours of time involved including the design work. Add more time for ordering and acquiring all supplies involved, cost of materials, quality inspections of each piece of several layers, finishing, assembly, packaging, and shipping or delivery. This is not mass manufactured in a chinese sweatshop. It is high quality artwork, and the artist deserves good prices for time and efforts.
