Very good, congrats...I've been tthinking about a project using layered wood, maybe it could be for your interest because is a little diferent from the classics squared flat works. Thinking about the support body of a lamp, lamp for living room for example....If many layers of wood give shape to the base body of the lamp, a very special shape could be obtained if the different layers of wood are cut in a way that allows to see some interesting pattern that would be seen laterally and illuminated by the light of the same lamp, of course this base body would have to be fitted with a screen ad hoc to the design of the body or vice versa....it´s only a suggestion.
Thank you for the video. I have syringe's in my workshop and use them for staining the nooks and crannies that my staining rag can't get to. I will use them for glue as well.
Hi, thanks so much for this video, it was just what I needed to be able to see how to assemble once you cut. I'm just getting ready to take the plunge to purchase a hobby laser (diode)...I'd be interested to see how you clearcoat that you mentioned in video. I wasn't sure if I should/shouldn't and when before or after assembly....still researching All The Things, lol. Thanks so much!
I haven't tried it myself, but I work in carpentry and you could try applying glue to the backside of each layer with a foamroller. It will apply the perfect amount without leading to squeezeout. Just don't press on it too hard
I started using foam roller and works really well. No spill outs when wood pressed together. If there is, then it means you had to much glue on the roller.
I'm not grasping the purpose of the Elmer's glue here. The CA glue has a far superior bond and that's all I use on my layered designs and clocks. What am I missing. is it cost?
In my experience, ca glue gets brittle over time. This is especially true for some of the thinner sections I do on other pieces. A slight pinch on the outer layer will cause the layers to separate. The Elmer’s glue is more flexible and durable. This is the best way I’ve discovered so far, however, I’m always looking for simpler and better ways to get the job done.
@@DienhartDotCom I haven't had that issue. I have clocks & layered art that's over 5 years old, a couple on my covered patio with no problems at all David. I do know one person that mixes CA and wood glue, 50/50 and he swears by it.
@@DienhartDotCom I picked up his idea and started mixing Tight Bond 3 50/50. Too soon to see the results though. Only been doing it about 3 months now.
I thought if you used CA glue, it automatically stuck the 2 pieces together without giving you a chance to align both. Kind of like super glue. Once it touches the 2nd piece, it's stuck.
Really nice. Never have seen this. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure

Cool. Does it matter if the two glues touch or mix?
Nope, it doesn't matter.

I spray on a clear coat over the entire piece after it’s assembled.
Glad it helped

I tried a roller and didn't have much luck. It was imprecise and squeezed over the edges.

@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy cool, thanks, Rich. I may do some more experimenting.

My experience is also ca crystalizes over time and fails long term.

Was thinking the same exact thing
Cool.
Did you design IT yourself?
The horse is not my design. I think I bought the pattern on ETSY.
Do you make decent money selling them
I've sold a few. I did these mostly because I was interested in how thin I could cut material and play with some cool finishing techniques.
@@DabooDesigns what type of equipment do you use or Laser machine looking to buy one
My laser is a heavily upgraded Omtech 55w. The stock machine will do the trick though.
Good idea👍
Thanks a lot
nice work. how can i get this template for each layer?
I found this pattern on Etsy. There are quite a few to choose from.
