🌙 The COMPLETE Making of the 3 Layer Moon Clock in Lightburn! Designing for a laser cutter.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

This might be the longest video I ever did, but you asked for it! 🤪 There are a lot of little tips along the way that might miss if you're not paying attention and at least 4 revisions before the final product.

[@LSEngraving]

ok, i made it to the end. awesome work man.

[@stuartoldham4427]

Thanks for taking the time to show viewers how you created your clock. good job

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thanks 👍

[@tj8244]

Thanks for the video, learned much about the node edit. :)

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

You're welcome TJ! It's a fun feature to learn how to use!

[@sicciful]

wow rich you made a beautiful design

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thank you so much Luc!😀

[@terrydriskel9731]

Another great one Rich. Particularly the node editing.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thanks again Terry!

[@DavesCave]

I learnt some great things with node editing I was not aware of before. Loved the 0 offset to get a closed shape. Pondered why you did not use the offset feature for your second layer, either way it likely would have needed editing anyway My 11 year old sat up and watched much of it with me. Thanks again.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Just showing different techniques Dave.

[@DavesCave]

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy I’m glad you did, I never knew about the ‘m’ key for node editing Or that you could manipulate multiple nodes or delete multiple nodes without deleting the line

[@MarklTucson]

Appreciated the design tutorial. I did not know that one can select multiple nodes in the node edit tool -- that alone was worth the price of admission.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

You're welcome Mark! Thanks for watching!

[@davidelder5399]

It's great to see your workflow in this project, Rich. The tea bags & biscuits got hammered watching this one. But all jokes aside, great job & thanks for including the bonus 👍

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it David! I could have edited it down, but I didn't want to remove the mistakes, hence the extra biscuits! 🤪

[@karlriley1314]

Rich thanks for all your HARD WORK to show use how things are really done. I really love these videos and the LASER MAKERS REALM. Keep them a comin. 😘

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Glad you like them Karl; thank you!

[@lonniedupont]

Nice. You getting better all the time.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

You think so? Thanks!

[@TheUnofficialMaker]

Good job/explanations. Keep it up.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thanks V J, will do!

[@timhaley7383]

Great video. You never seem to disappoint. I learned so much. Thanks again.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Glad to hear it Tim; thanks!

[@camarogs1]

I really enjoyed the video, I am right now learning how to make clocks so this was very timely.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Andy.H.H.]

I'll probably never make this clock but, every single video of yours that I watch I learn so much from you about LightBurn and my laser. Thank you Rich for all you do of us! I also wanted to mention that sometimes instead of using thin wood to cut test pieces of the project, I'll use cardboard. It seems like we get amazon packages every other day so there's always a supply available. Plus it all gets recycled when I'm done with the test pieces!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I use all of my amazon boxes for templates and projects too Andy!

[@toddshepard3592]

Thank you for this !

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

My pleasure Todd!

[@freman]

Man, I love your videos, I only last night discovered the wireframe vs filled modes... would have saved me a few unnecessary test cuts. I had no idea about the selection direction differences tho, thanks!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Glad I could help!

[@dennisgervais2509]

I enjoyed the video great job

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it Dennis!

[@slhasebroock]

Great design video, thank you!!!! Was engaged the entire time! Picked up lots of tips!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Great to hear Steve! That's what it was made for!

[@shubby751]

Great video, love the fact that you take the time to explain all the details. Even show us the mess ups. As we all make mistakes and learn from them.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thanks for watching! I learn more from mistakes than anything else!

[@richardruark6422]

Very detailed information, thank you for taking to time to explain thoroughly..... great video and thanks also for the free download.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

My pleasure Richard! Thanks for watching!

[@DaveFisherLSAeronaut]

Great job Rich! I learned a lot about node editing. This was an advanced design course and I really appreciate you effort.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Glad it was helpful Dave!

[@Nightsabbath]

I love this format tyvm keep up the great work

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I knew you would David! Thanks for watching!

[@leonardleblanc4194]

Fantastic video Rich thanks for your hard work

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I'm happy you liked it Leonard! 👍

[@kensutton174]

Great video as always Rich!! Would it have been easier to use the offset on the individual shapes?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Yes, absolutely, everyone is asking that! I am just showing different techniques Ken.

[@floridalove]

Come on Rich. I almost suspect you didn't see the forest for all the trees 😂 Why didn't you use the offset tool to reduce all those little pieces?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Because there's more than one way to skin an orange!

[@floridalove]

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy That's right! At night it is also darker than outside...😎

[@davidh1187]

Why not use the offset tool for the layer resizes?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I use it in a lot of projects David when I want that affect.

[@grahamatgrandpasworkshop5885]

would it have been quicker to use the offset tool create the reduced outlines?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Yes, just showing different ways to do it! I use the offset in other videos. With software, there are always many different ways to do it.

[@robertarmstrong2323]

I'm a newbie but..to get shapes in a shape.. couldn't we duplicate and shrink without going through node drama?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Yes you could!

[@stevespringer8385]

great tutorial Rich. do I recall correctly that you use a "tablet" to do some of your design work, then save as an SVG, etc and import to LB? if so, which tablet do you use? thanks

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Yes I do Steve. I use the Kamvus Pro 16: amzn.to/3Ugb6Sa

[@MarioBX1405]

Great video! Still watching, need to watch the rest later (gotta work lol). Qq though... Would it have been faster to use the offset tool with an inward round offset for each component ? Just curious. Thanks again Rich!

[@jackroberts8432]

Mario - you beat me to it. That would be much faster!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Yes Mario, I'm glad the video got you thinking! There were lots of things I could/would have done differently if I wasn't making the video.

[@MarioBX1405]

​@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy an awesome video still! Was just curious if there was a reason to do it one way vs another. Thanks again Rich!

[@italytrader]

how can I engrave stainless steel in blue color or white color?

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

With a fiber laser, or really, really slowly on a diode, but you won't get white.

[@italytrader]

​ @TheLouisianaHobbyGuy thanks for reply. How can I How can I get correct setting for doing this kzbin.info/www/bejne/ep-cZIR6lK6IZ68 ?

[@ipod1575]

i am new to the send a message on you tube but how do you change the settings in lightburn to make the work area bigger it only gows to 12x12 i need it over 16 i know you would know and can help me out

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

The work area has to match the settings of your laser. You define it in the Device Settings.

[@ipod1575]

Well all I know is it's a outur lazer master 2

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

It's 400x400 Slim.

[@merrillalbury8214]

Like all of my projects, the cutting/printing time is only a small part of the total time to design and finish the project.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Yep, you got that right Carl!

[@LSEngraving]

hey, your mistakes ARE entertainment! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I make more mistakes than progress Patrick! 🤪

[@LSEngraving]

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy i resemble that remark!
