WOW! Finally someone did a Kerf For Dummies video!!!!! Thank you SOOOOOOOO much!

[@KeepCalmandCraftOn]

😆right?! It's really not that hard, but I could never find an explanation that made sense to me. Glad to know this helped you!

I’ve also been intimidated by kerf. Thanks for making it so easy to understand by walking us through the process!

[@tranquilmentor]

Thanks for sharing ... I have a much better understanding of kerf now. It was awesome how you used the marker, a sticky note and the calculator to demonstrate. I am so glad I found your video today! I use a diode laser and lightburn, but I think I should be able to make the same changes in the software.. Great video!😀
