Oh my goodness, this was such a wonderful video and easy to follow!!! I have been trying to learn Inkscape (my brain is old:), and this video helped tremendously. Followed along with it in Inkscape and was able to successfully "weld" letters together and use nodes to adjust. Only problem, when I try to go to "stroke" and getting rid of the "fill", it converts back to fill. I will figure it out though! Thanks again.
Glad it was useful. 👍 Just made this one, it may even be slicker. th-cam.com/video/-bxo_Ol-Nok/w-d-xo.html As far as fill and outline. Left clicking will change the fill. Right click and choose outline to pick an outline color. Thanks again for the feedback. Let me know if you need more tips.
I know I'm really behind on your videos, I just stumbled upon them and I'm hooked. I'm hoping I can find a quick tutorial on how to cut out names that have an "i".
Do you have access to a 3D printer? Assuming the plan is to mark the wooden spoon, right? Do you mark the handle? You can shoot me images or a message too. hlmodtech on Facebook and gmail.
I am in Holland Michigan, and thanks! This video does a cut and engrave. th-cam.com/video/SZRHLJPbqTA/w-d-xo.html I will see if I can track down some others as well.
Hello! I love the videos, Im new to inkscape and gf so this helps tremedously, Thank You! My question is when Im in inkscape to create my word the letters are either typing backwards or they are on top of each other, has this happened to you and would you help? TIA
Thanks. I will see what I can figure out for you. Are you using Windows or a Mac? Desktop or Laptop? Any other details you can share? Current version of Inkscape?
Thanks for the great video! I have just ordered my (back-ordered) GF. I'm getting ready for my projects ahead of time by creating SVG. Question: My inkscape screen doesn't show the text tool screen on the right like yours. The font shows at the top left and I am always searching all the menus for what you can find easily like stroke, etc. Any idea how to add that tool screen? I might just have downloaded a different version of Inscape.
Thank you. The menus are customizable. I think this vid will clear it up for you. th-cam.com/video/SeU61vxZFig/w-d-xo.html If not, just shoot me a note. 👍
@@HLModTech I've just tried the three different View options: default, custom and wide but none show the menu on the side. I think it's because I have downloaded Inkscape 1.0. No worries, I will contact Inkscape. thanks for your help!
By the way, you should stick with V1. I am tied up with a few other projects, but will start updating videos as soon as I can. I am sure they have updated a lot of stuff in V1.
So... you want each letter individually? Actually have the footage of that project on the pc at school... will post in the AM. If you are aiming for something else, elaborate. I love a challenge. =)
@@HLModTech that's what I was wondering. Will each letter need to be separate? Should I make each word a script font? Thanks for your help. I just got the GF a month ago and I have students wanting to print so I am learning on the fly.
@@johnhochstetler2260 See if this fits what you are looking for. th-cam.com/video/kCFSD-b0lnM/w-d-xo.html Super cool that we both have them in the classroom. What age students are you working with?
@@HLModTech looks like that should work for me. Thanks! Are you working on a Macbook? I had trouble downloading the templates via your directions. Wondered if it was a Mac vs. PC issue.
I need help! Every time I try to upload it to glowforge it tells me the the design doesn’t have any printable elements in it. I already saved it as Inkscape svg and plain svg and it still tells me the same thing
@@Isahbella907 It is the next Path menu, one to the left. Happens at 1:30 of the video th-cam.com/video/D3kzawIUtGk/w-d-xo.html I think that should fix it up for you. 👍 let me know if not.
HL ModTech oh my lord! You are the best. I didn’t understand anything about Inkscape but thanks to your videos now I get the hang of it and now I can use my glowforge more! Thank you so much for your videos I hope you keep making more so I can keep learning! 😊😊
@@Isahbella907 Thank you. I need to get back at it. I have been playing with TinkerCAD and the 3D printers too much. My Glowforge is getting jealous. =)
Thank you so much!! I'm not going to lie.... I watched this at least 10 times. BUT I got it!!!
Glad it helped! I cannot lie either... I still go back and watch it when I start fiddling with text. 👍
Thanks for making this SO much more simple than others have made it seem! Liked and Subscribed!
My pleasure. Thanks for taking time to comment and I appreciate the sub too! 💯👍
Thank you that helped me a lot I just got my glowforge yesterday
My pleasure fomckee. Thank you for the feedback! 👍💯
I’m new to InkScape and GF so this video is very helpful. Thank you
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. I need to get back to playing with Inkscape now that summer is here. 👍

I know I'm really behind on your videos, I just stumbled upon them and I'm hooked. I'm hoping I can find a quick tutorial on how to cut out names that have an "i".
What sort of material? I just cut them like anything else and glued the dot where it needed to be. Thanks for the visit!
I also engraved instead of cut so the hole was does was where it should be.
You turned my blues hues into love joys.
Super cool Scribble OnMe! Love to hear it when there is success. 👏💯
could you do a video on making jigs for the glowforge. 've yet to find one that simplifies it for a wooden spoon.

I'm not seeing the same tool box on the side to set stroke and see text (font choices) How do I get that window to open?
You can find stroke on the object menu. Fonts on the Text menu. Also Shift+Ctrl+F and Shift+Ctrl+T should make them appear.
Where do you teach at?
I want to take your class.
I which video do you show how to do a engrave and then cut.....I am having some issues.

@@annefortin2937 Oh.... Did not know they had a V1... I will do some looking today to see what is up. Sorry about that.
By the way, you should stick with V1. I am tied up with a few other projects, but will start updating videos as soon as I can. I am sure they have updated a lot of stuff in V1.
Just installed V1... I get the toolbars to the right when I choose the View menu, then wide. Any chance that works for you?
how do i get a link for the templates please?
It is in the top right corner of the video as a card. This will get you there as well. th-cam.com/video/llZtS-HXIv4/w-d-xo.html
So if you have a saying such as "I have a dream" how to you get around connecting letters?

I believe you missed the step where the text needed to be converted to curves.
HL ModTech on mine it says convert to text is that what it is
