Hello! I joined the laser design club and I’m curious if this tutorial is uploaded yet?

@BrandonWadas 2 года назад

Great design!

@85thandPine 2 года назад

Thanks!

@larryjoseph1170 2 месяца назад

Very nice. Did you ever get around to making the tutorial on lake depth maps?

@85thandPine 2 месяца назад

Thank you! We actually have an exclusive tutorial from our new business, Laser Design Club ( www.laserdesignclub.com ). We offer courses, tutorials, 10 monthly files, supplier discounts and more (including a lake map tutorial from one of our featured contributors). The tutorial is done mostly through Adobe Illustrator but I will also be doing a lake map tutorial on Inkscape which will be released at the end of September, only included within our membership for Laser Design Club.

I’ve actually been designing the subsequent layers with alignment holes, allowing me to cutout multiple layers from 1 sheet. So with a 10 layer project I only use about 3 sheets on wood.👍🏼

@85thandPine 8 месяцев назад

Nice! That’s a great idea

Very nice project of the lake map with depth. What works for me, but requires I use more paint since I make a mess with paint is I paint the blank piece first then cut it on the laser this way I don't have to worry about getting paint on the lasered edges. I see you have a steady hand so painting after actually requires the use of less paint. Thanks, Dan

@85thandPine 2 года назад

Thanks Dan! Your method is definitely a good way to keep the clean edges! I’ve done that on previous projects but for this one decided not to. Thanks for the input!

@jessetutterrow4320 11 месяцев назад

Any paint that goes over the edge can be fixed with a black sharpie or black paint pen

I make maps for a living (2 GIS degrees) and I must say, this is why I got into laser cutting. I wanted to take my map making skills to another level. A legend (map key) showing the depth elevations for each layer (colors) would be a great addition to this. Beautiful work! (and is that some Khruangbin playing in the video?) :)

@85thandPine 6 месяцев назад

Hi Erik. Thanks for sharing that with us. So glad you mentioned that. Would you mind sending us an email to 85thandpine@gmail.com? We might have an opportunity for you if you are interested.

@gunnarbiker 6 месяцев назад

@@85thandPine oh wow! Yeah, I'd be glad to email you and see what you have. I'm at work now but will email later this evening or the weekend. I live in North Carolina so I'm EST.

@85thandPine 6 месяцев назад

No worries we appreciate it. If you have it availiable, can you also send over some of the work you have made?@@gunnarbiker

@85thandPine 6 месяцев назад

We would still love to see some of your work. Send us an email soon please.

@@85thandPine Hey! I couldn’t find the video where you wanted me to email you and I was really bummed. Finally found it. Are you still interested some pics of the kind of work I do? It’s all hobby stuff right now from laser cutting to 3D printing to custom modding toys. I love to tinker with everything!

@TimberTaipei 11 месяцев назад

Love it!

@joybidwell9487 2 года назад

I swear I am horrible at painting. I always get paint down along the cut out edge and it looks awful. Great job!

@85thandPine 2 года назад

Thank you!

@pattiwhittington9360 8 месяцев назад

How would you display a map that thick?

@85thandPine 8 месяцев назад

We think it looks nice sitting on a table/countertop since it can support itself. Hanging it on a wall would look good too in my opinion!

@carmen-rg2vi 2 года назад

Beautiful! I'll be purchasing this file. Do you have other lake files in your shop?

@85thandPine 2 года назад

Thanks Carmen! Not at this time but plan to hopefully in the near future! :)

@lindagurns9613 Год назад

can you advise the color paints you used. Loved you video, thanks!

@85thandPine Год назад

Hi! I don’t have the exact names of the colors but I used various shades of blue paints from Joann’s called top notch

@deniseteague8203 Год назад

Awesome work! can you make a step by step video on how to create these maps?

@85thandPine Год назад

Thanks Denise!! It’s on my list! 😬😊

@curtisaitken7027 Год назад

Love the video. Could you finish the map with an epoxy?

@85thandPine Год назад

I don’t see why not!

@dalekling7303 Год назад

What was the size of the plywood, like width and length?

@85thandPine Год назад

12x19"

@enuf37 2 года назад

I’d like to make one of an area lake but where did you get the topographical map? Or is that a file you purchased?

@85thandPine 2 года назад

Hi Marcie, you can try out openseamap.org which gives you access to maps. But you could also try browsing the lake you want and search for depths (ex: Lake Michigan depth map) and if you find an image showing the depths, you can then trace it in an editing software program like Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator to give you the layers you need.

@jessicahitchcock4562 2 года назад

I love to use snazzymaps, you can set your attributes to as few or as many as you like, along with the contrast for easy tracing! Took me a few tries to get it down but now I make maps all the time!

@annaviolette2734 Год назад

Id like to know how to create the layers in an svg

@85thandPine Год назад

I'm hoping to get a video out there on creating an SVG, hopefully sooner than later!

@michaelfinney5317 Год назад

Hello just curious where you got your layered design from and what wood you used for each layer! Really excited to try this!

@85thandPine Год назад

Hi! We created the design. It’s on our website, 85thandpinedesigns.etsy.com. We used 1/8” birch for all layers except the top, which is 1/8” cherry plywood

@michaelfinney5317 Год назад

@@85thandPine thank you for the answer that’s very helpful. How do you go about making a design like this? I wanted to do one for the lake I grew up on and finding it tricky to get all the clean details you have.

@85thandPine Год назад

@@michaelfinney5317 we haven’t had a chance to do a video tutorial on how it was designed, but you can try out openstreetmap.org for various maps of lakes

@michaelfinney5317 Год назад

@@85thandPine I will give that a try thank you!

@katewilliams1401 Год назад

Can I ask how much you would sell a complete product like this for? Also, how do you finish the edges?

@85thandPine Год назад

I would sell mine for around $125 due to the time it takes. I left the edges raw but you can use a power sander to make them more even!

@dalekling7303 Год назад

Does this program work for Aspire software?

@85thandPine Год назад

Hi! I'm not familiar with Aspire, but if it accepts SVG, DXF or PDF formats, that is what we use for this particular file.

Hi there! Yes we have a layered lake map tutorial posted in the “Tutorials” section but will also be adding a similar one in a few weeks that uses Inkscape to design it. Let me know if you have any questions!
