[@HeavenLeeMadeOnEtsy]

Hi, thank you for sharing. I hear you about the masking tape! you don't want to know. lol

[@tagruva]

Great video!

[@johnnymullins9237]

very nice... question: can you have the Glowforge leave the "inside" parts of the letters A and E (if that makes sense)?

[@thrakena]

I imagine you can select those portions in a program outside of glowforge, set them to a different color, and then in glowforge it will notice it as two different objects and you can set it to engrave the inside of the letters instead of cutting. Never used the glowforge but that's what people seem to do.

[@janedoefrommo]

What software are you using? Is it the glow forge or a different software? I’m new to laser cutting and don’t have a glow forge but want a user friendly program. Thanks.

[@iluvey3597]

What kind of paint is this? Does it need a sealant?

[@SheDeviL1432]

Which glowforge do you have basic/plus/pro?

[@kelleyh8141]

Do you not put a clear coat on the base or do you just leave it bare?

[@lumberrevolution3911]

Leave it bare

[@jessicamiller1685]

Great tutorial! Would you say this is a good beginner project?

[@lumberrevolution3911]

Jess K yes great beginner project!

[@briggsmalcolm1102]

[@gunnerriley137]

@Briggs Malcolm Instablaster :)

[@briggsmalcolm1102]

@Gunner Riley I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@briggsmalcolm1102]

@Gunner Riley It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my ass!

[@FeminineMotherhood]

Hi there. Do you have the basic, pro or plus?

[@lumberrevolution3911]

pro

[@user-jq9mw6zz7c]

What rounded font was that

[@caroldysard6383]

What kind of paint did you use? It looks very smooth

[@lumberrevolution3911]

An acrylic paint

[@mphys5370]

What brand?

[@jinnajim]

Do you clear the puzzles?

[@designmist6318]

hi dear, can you guide me this printer can print 3mm image on Fabric or any fabric related material ?

[@lumberrevolution3911]

I can't answer I'm sorry. I don't believe you can but I'm not 100% sure.

[@AnqieeFnBhadd]

Heyy what paint did you use

[@carolinavelasquez9950]

Can I do this with cricket? Trying. To make money as a stay at home mom. Which one would you recommend?

[@lumberrevolution3911]

I think the Cricut can cut wood however it is very thin wood and you would have to do many layers to achieve this look

[@PhoneGamerBuddy]

How do you get rid of the burn marks on the edges? All cutouts on plywood leave burn marks and handling the bits will leave black marks on your hands. What do you do about that? :) As an observation, Rainbow has 7 colours :D

[@lumberrevolution3911]

Because it is a laser it is going to leave some burn marks on the edging. However, I have noticed that black marks that transfer to hands and other materials is because my settings were off I was going at too slow of a speed or too high of a power.

[@thesimplyspoiled1]

Can you tell me about the clamps? They are so cute and tiny🤗

[@lumberrevolution3911]

I got them at menards. It was like $5 for a whole pack.

[@thesimplyspoiled1]

Thank you for replying! I live in California. But I will find some. I have a GF on the way and this will be one of my first projects. Thank you! 💕

[@ameliabonilla8395]

@@thesimplyspoiled1 they have these at Harbor Freight for really cheap!

[@kelleyh8141]

So why wouldnt you just delete the name from the base file instead of "ignoring" it? Can I just delete it & be ok? thanks

[@lumberrevolution3911]

You can. I save all my files Incase someone needs a replacement letter. This saves me time when I’m doing a bulk order from having to go in and change the file for each name.

[@amandafelicite6151]

Hi which glowforge model did you have?

[@lumberrevolution3911]

I have a pro

[@Veehay]

Hi which Glowforge are you using for this project?

[@lumberrevolution3911]

Vahe In this video I am using the pro you can do this with the basic though.

[@Veehay]

@@lumberrevolution3911 Thank you so much for the quick answer...to do work like yours can i get by with the basic?

[@Veehay]

I just bought the basic so look for your reward. Thanks for helping out.

[@lumberrevolution3911]

Vahe thanks so much! Feel free to message us with any questions we would love to help

[@nicj428]

Thanks for this - I love your work!What is the major difference between each of them?

[@Xnaarkhoo]

Thanks for sharing this. Are both exactly in the same font size ? shouldn't the base be a bit bigger ? what are your experiences ?

[@lumberrevolution3911]

Xnaarkhoo you could make the base slightly bigger. My experience is that the letters fit nice and snug and a bigger base isn’t necessary. This method saves material instead of having to cut a second time.

[@stefiealdaba2671]

what font is this?

[@lumberrevolution3911]

Stefie Sabangan sorry for the delay it is arial rounded

[@Regina-jn8rx]

Hi can you tell me, how man mm is the plywood

[@lumberrevolution3911]

We used 1/4 birch plywood from home depot for this. This material varied in mm depending on the season from .18 to .22 mm

[@dulcefink2706]

Hi, do you have the basic or pro?

[@lumberrevolution3911]

We have both the pro and basic

[@lumberrevolution3911]

We have both the pro and basic

[@readhead4792]

I tried getting birch plywood from Home Depot but it won't cut for me. I've used all different power settings and speeds. Did you get indoor or outdoor birch plywood? Or do you have any suggestions?

[@lumberrevolution3911]

John McChristian I get indoor 1/4 birch plywood what settings are you using ?

[@takiahwashington7882]

Lumber Revolution what settings should be used

[@ambermjames]

Do you ever add any type of sealant to these?

[@lumberrevolution3911]

I don’t.

[@Woppaho]

You don’t pin the wood down?

[@lumberrevolution3911]

I do if it’s needed. Sometimes I don’t have to because it lays flat

[@asankapradeep3115]

How much this machine

[@lumberrevolution3911]

The basic is $2500 and the pro $6000
