Thank you! I make the front and back layers from plywood. Because I want the back to look good too. Sometimes customers want engraving on the back. All others are from MDF

Thank you! Do you think such short videos are interesting? I can do a lot of these

​@@HandmadeArtBg Yes it's cool! I love discovering your different projects. We want more

The most ordinary acrylic paint of a local company in Bulgaria

Well done! That's right :)

Hi, Thanks for the comment, but I'm not quite sure what you mean. Can you explain in more detail? Thank you

@@HandmadeArtBg You make 2 copies of the contours and cut the odd contours on one and the even contours on the other. Then the overlap is your gluing surface and the other lines help with placement. You need some supports and a skirt around the outside but it sounded like the plan was to frame up all around anyway. Old povo architecture student physical model making trick for penny pinching.

I think I didn't make this map with lasermapmaker because I found this site later. But there is always quite a bit of manual work with the water layers. I often trace them and then process them in CorelDraw or Adobe Illustrator.

@@HandmadeArtBg Thank you. 🙂

Thank you! Yes, the frame also cut from plywood and painted. But a standard type of frame can also be used

I think 1 credit means 1 export layer. So if you have 2 layers to cut and 1 to engraving, that's 3 credits. But yes, I agree that it could have been more clearly explained.

Hello, I'm not quite sure because we don't use it very actively yet because we have a bigger laser. But we will start soon.

I use water based acrylic paint for the water areas

I think that it will not work directly on the steel. But I think there is oxidized steel on which it can be done

@@HandmadeArtBg thank you.

@@HandmadeArtBg Does it mark as it was painted or does it engrave with low relief on oxidized stainless steel?

@@HandmadeArtBg I want to buy one to engrave stainless steel pendants for my bracelet brand, It has low cost but I don`t know if it`s powerful enough to engrave this material without it looks like cheap or superficial, that`s why I am asking if it only paints or engraves

@@Farofa01 I don't think he's still suitable for this job. Even with my big and powerful laser, I can't engrave steel.

Do you mean the frame? I'm not sure if the frame can be turned off. Personally, if I don't need it, I cut it in Adobe Illustrator

@@HandmadeArtBg I found 2 ways. Change border size to 0 or change border color to the same color as the land color.

@@myhoneyshandmade1077 Interesting! I will try it very soon. Thanks!

@@HandmadeArtBg great. Hope it helps. I just put out a video on how to do it.

Yes, the paper and inks are special for sublimation

Thank you too!

Thanks Alexander! Yes, it might protect the wood, I just didn't expect that to happen. I still have a lot to learn about resin. Cheers from Bulgaria!

There isn't really a specific site. I use many different ones because the information is different. Some have for lakes only, others for seas and oceans. And there is a lot of manual work involved

Basically, QGIS is a professional software, but it requires more time to learn.

Well done Maria! But I think it is rather Bulgarian :) Here, every third woman has this name

water-based stain. A small Bulgarian company makes them

mainly birch and albacia plywood

Thank you!

Thank you Alexander!

Well, unfortunately, I have never used such thin paper and had no problems with crumpling. Usually work with 180-230 g paper

Yes, thank you for that! :)

Yaoooooo

Thank you very much! I'm thinking of a few more options to make....still gathering ideas

Thank you!
