How we create beautiful maps of cities made of wood

If only the Thames water was that clean. Great work

Any chance you could do a video on how to make a design and enter it into the program for a laser cutter?

[@HandmadeArtBg]

Yes, we will. We are working on it, but it is a bit complicated. I guess we will publish it in 1 month.

Thank you for the video. Where are you getting the city pictures / files from? What site? Thank you

[@ALXSHARPEN]

Snazzy Maps would be my guess I made a video on how to do them

[@dont4get2fulsh]

looks cool I'll give you that! But why did you paint the entire backplane blue? Seems like a waste of paint when just the tiny bit that is the River Thames actually shows through and the rest is behind the middle layer

Hi if you don't mind what's the name of your laser cutter machine

[@woodworksszm2680]

THANKS, what is the stain please

[@HandmadeArtBg]

water-based stain. A small Bulgarian company makes them

How do you get the highway lines so thick? Ive tried but mine comes out very thin

Intersting. Very nice work. What are the thin sheets of wood? MDF?

[@Finnlaser]

Baltic birch plywood

If I may ask, what wood engraving machine are you using?

[@HandmadeArtBg]

We use a laser that engraves and cuts. I think it's Chinese made

what software do you use to make the map layers?

[@adamelkoumy5141]

I believe fusion 360 would do the job.

Hi, did you use white Paint on last layer?

[@HandmadeArtBg]

Hi, No, we haven't used white paint anywhere.

[@dennismitchel8404]

@@HandmadeArtBg what did use

[@HandmadeArtBg]

@@dennismitchel8404 We use acrylic paint for the blue color, water-based stain for the second layer, and the first layer is only varnished with colorless varnish.

[@dennismitchel8404]

[@cstpa1]

the video just cuts out at the end

[@Chucka1463]

I like the outcome but the "creative" photography of this video is on display and not the project. It just gets in the way.

[@HandmadeArtBg]

Thank you for the comment! We will keep it in mind
