Thanks for watching

[@michellearchambault6555]

Bless you!!! Thank you for this video. I appreciate all the details you have provided, especially including all the materials that you have used. I will be receiving my laser soon. I look forward to being able to make signs like this. 😊

[@LaserAndLearn]

Thanks so much for your feedback! Good luck on your laser journey and let me know if you have additional questions

[@JeffBenedict]

Good video. Bless you. I guess you forgot to edit that part out.

[@imagineengine]

thanks for making this very helpful video. Where do you go to find this "character map" you mention?

[@LaserAndLearn]

I typed it in the search by at the bottom left of my pc. Then I found the font I was using and went from there!

[@stephaniemedina5150]

I just found your videos. And oh my goodness. Su CB a great job!! If there’s too much taking I usually tune out. Lol. Does a compressor really make a difference? I have a Mira 7 (about 3 months) and I get a lot of that charring. I could also be my settings. Still a lot to learn. Thank you again!!

[@LaserAndLearn]

Yes! Air compressor helps reduce char. I added mine and never looked back! Thanks for watching!

[@Brianp1982]

Hey. Where did you get the 3M backing tape?

[@sharksys]

Thanks so much for the great video. Can I ask where you get the 3M 2-Sided Tape that was on the back of the sign?

[@LaserAndLearn]

Sure! I get mine from tcg laser blanks!

[@danaastorga2760]

Thanks

[@LaserAndLearn]

Thanks for watching!

[@kenanklovitch8117]

Excellent video on making a beautiful sign. I am just learning laser engraving. You said your material is pre-finished so you don't have to mask it. What is the pre-finish and does it come like that or do you apply it. Also what is wood you use for the background. Thankyou very much.

[@LaserAndLearn]

Great question! I buy that wood prefinished but you can also use a lacquer to come off clean too like what I used for the backing board. The most common woods I use for the backing are stained red oak or walnut. Thanks for watching!

[@suzidehoff970]

Love this! Where do you get a backer board like that?

[@LaserAndLearn]

I stain red oak or use walnut most of the time!

[@candacemartin4629]

Thank you for this video. I just got my Mira 9 and have so much to learn. Where do you get your 3M?

[@LaserAndLearn]

Sorry for the late response I get mine from tcg laser blanks!

[@proudcanadianeh4663]

Amazing video thank you! What are you using for the backing it's super nice, walnut plywood? Or birch plywood you stain for example? Or a pine board you stained? So many ideas.

[@LaserAndLearn]

I typically use 1/4 inch mdf plywood. Redoak I stain or sometimes use walnut. I have a different video on where I get my wood if you want to check it out

[@jluame]

Do you have a link to where I can get the font that you used for the names?

[@markknoedler4562]

Is there a difference between Oh Juliya and Oh Juliya updated? Google didn't find an updated version. First time I've watched you. Great information thanks for sharing.

[@LaserAndLearn]

I found that there were more characters on update. I got the update directly from the designer on design bundles. I think either one is fine

[@dianerickert6569]

Thank you for sharing. This is adorable. How many names have you been able to put onto one piece?

[@LaserAndLearn]

I sometimes do 2 rows and so I have been able to do 12 before

[@jluame]

How do you display the character map?

[@proudcanadianeh4663]

Thank you! What type f woods are you using? Pre-finished Baltic birch and what is the backing? an oak board with walnut oil-stain? Thank you!

[@LaserAndLearn]

Yes! I use maple ply with an mdf core for the names and either red oak stained or walnut mdf for the backing!

[@proudcanadianeh4663]

@@LaserAndLearn Thanks! And do you finish the project with anything or just use the plywood as it (both names and backing). Sorry for questions I am a beginner

[@tinarichardson8085]

Just found your channel. Love your explanations! Keep making these types of videos. I just ordered a monport 60 watt CO2. How many watts is your laser? I’ve had an xtool diode for about 8 months. I love Smokey hills patternply.

[@LaserAndLearn]

My glowforge is 40 watts and my mira ( in this video) is 90 watts. 60 watts is a great laser too! Can do up to half inch I'm sure at the right speed. I LOVE smokey hill. Use their material all the time

[@MarkEvansOwasso]

How long did that sign take from start to finish? And what would you charge for a similar size sign?

[@LaserAndLearn]

So designing was 5 minutes, engraving was about 15, staining and assembling was probably 10 or so, so maybe 30 minutes to make the sign. I have charged anywhere from $30-$50 for a 19x6 sign

[@Andy.H.H.]

How thick is the wood used for the letters and also the backing? Also, do you get it from Ocooch Hardwoods or someplace else? Thank you.

[@LaserAndLearn]

So I use 1/4". Also, I almost exclusively use plywood. So I usually get it from my local supplier, smokeyhilldesigns.com, craft closet, or gs2 awards

[@Andy.H.H.]

@@LaserAndLearn Great. Thank you.

[@RedbullSnipernl]

Nice Job, I have a Quistion, Where I can find the Font that you used, Oh Juliya Update?

[@LaserAndLearn]

I found it either on design bundles or creative fabrica, can't remember which!

[@oupaswoodshop1325]

Could you please show us where you download "oh Juliya updated" fonts?

[@LaserAndLearn]

I think I downloaded it from design bundles

[@terryheta]

Im trying to find a program that helps make a few mock up products to give them options to buy for clients. What kind of program do you use please?

[@LaserAndLearn]

I design in Inkscape and lightburn, but I know others use Adobe illustrator, silhouette for business, and Corel draw

[@terryheta]

@LaserAndLearn legend thanks for the tip. Going to give it a go. Love your channel keep it up 👍🏾

[@BusyBeeMom]

Hi there! What wood do you use?

[@LaserAndLearn]

Hey! I use 1/4 inch walnut or stained red oak from smokey hill laser designs mostly. For the top I use 1/8 inch or 1/4 inch maple. I use mdf plywood with the veneers of those.

[@user-fk2jd2su8v]

Where or what wood do you use to place the name on?

[@LaserAndLearn]

I use red oak or walnut with an mdf core. I have a separate video where I talk about where I get wood 😊

[@tammyp347]

Can i do this on my glowforge aura

[@LaserAndLearn]

I would probably do 1/16 inch wood but probably!

[@imbologna]

Bless you! 🤧lol

[@LaserAndLearn]

Hope you can make it! Let me know if you have any other questions

[@artwithpicknpaintstudio1550]

Where is the character map located?

[@LaserAndLearn]

I have a windows so I just typed it into my search bar on the main page of my computer and was able to find it. Then just change it to the font you want

[@Laynesworld247]

where is character map?

[@maccaslasher]

where is the character map ??

[@LaserAndLearn]

I type in character map in the search function of my PC and I find it! Should come with all fonts you download and have

[@rickvestuto]

Great job but get youself a stand for you phone

[@LaserAndLearn]

Lol, I have a ring light that I used at time, but definitely doesn't work for all circumstances. Been looking at others, but good ones are expensive! Soon!

[@rileycrain5784]

That 3m tape be out of control these days!!!

[@LaserAndLearn]

With regards to price?

[@rileycrain5784]

@@LaserAndLearn yeah it’s like 280$ for 12” x 180’. I really wanted to try the stuff. I may just add on a couple bucks to the price. Glueing is becoming such a pain
