Tips & Tricks for Large Laser Cut Projects

My friends are opening a bookstore and asked for help with a sign. I surprised even myself and pulled it off! In this video I’ll share some tips and tricks for working with large designs, getting custom color on wood, and techniques for getting a lot of little pieces all in the right spot.
This is my longest video ever. Sorry about that, but it was a big project with lots of little steps so I’m sure there’ll be something useful for you in here somewhere.
These are non-affiliate links. It’s just stuff I use and recommend, even though I get no kick-back.
If you have a local indy bookstore, support them. If not, then please check out my friends at www.rootedbooksandgifts.com. They’re great people and offer a great selection of books and audiobooks.
The 3x3 Custom 6-in-1 Universal Trim Router Jig is one of my favorite go-to gadgets in my shop. The large base makes your trim router much easier to use, plus you get circle and edge guides. Check out Tamar’s youtube channel for some great videos as well. www.3x3custom.com/store/6-in-...
I love the sound I’m getting with the Shure MoveMic. Not only do you get a quality mic that is a LOT smaller and more comfortable to use than the competition, you also get great processing abilities. www.yandasmusic.com/search?q=...

I was just wondering what the Dancing Monkey was up to! That sign is amazing, and and true testiment to the love you have for your friends.

Enjoyed your video and your finished product. The "Ted Turner colorizing" will be most helpful in my future peojects.

HA! I hadn't thought about Ted Turner colorizing for a long time now! I'm glad that craze passed fairly quickly!!
