About us: We run an online Etsy shop where we sell mostly laser cut goods and files. At first, our business was mainly crochet and knitwear, but in 2020 we pivoted to strictly laser cutting. We really like the infinite possibilities laser cutting brings, and also enjoy coming up with my own unique designs. 😊 ----------

Hello! I joined the laser design club and I’m curious if this tutorial is uploaded yet?
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
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!
Any paint that goes over the edge can be fixed with a black sharpie or black paint pen
Excellent job!
Thank you!
Hello! I joined the laser design club and I’m curious if this tutorial is uploaded yet?
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!
Love the video. Could you finish the map with an epoxy?
I don’t see why not!
Great design!
Thanks!
What was the size of the plywood, like width and length?
12x19"
I swear I am horrible at painting. I always get paint down along the cut out edge and it looks awful. Great job!
Thank you!
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?) :)
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.
@@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.
No worries we appreciate it. If you have it availiable, can you also send over some of the work you have made?@@gunnarbiker
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!
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.👍🏼
Nice! That’s a great idea
Does this program work for Aspire software?
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.
Very nice. Did you ever get around to making the tutorial on lake depth maps?
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.
Can I ask how much you would sell a complete product like this for? Also, how do you finish the edges?
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!
can you advise the color paints you used. Loved you video, thanks!
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
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?
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.
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!
Beautiful! I'll be purchasing this file. Do you have other lake files in your shop?
Thanks Carmen! Not at this time but plan to hopefully in the near future! :)
@@85thandPine Oh, wonderful🤗
Thanks!
How would you display a map that thick?
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!
Awesome work! can you make a step by step video on how to create these maps?
Thanks Denise!! It’s on my list! 😬😊
Id like to know how to create the layers in an svg
I'm hoping to get a video out there on creating an SVG, hopefully sooner than later!
Hello just curious where you got your layered design from and what wood you used for each layer! Really excited to try this!
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
@@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.
@@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
@@85thandPine I will give that a try thank you!
Love it!
Thank you!
