Creating Finger Joints In Lightburn

I made a paint bottle stand in Lightburn, including the Finger Joints. This video shows how to make equally spaced finger joints that could be used for any box design.
I know you can use a template generator like boxes.py, but this learns ya sumthin. lol And I believe has more flexability than a template generator.

Had a difficult time seeing some of the things you did because they were off screen to the right. But learned a few things in this video. Thanks.

Great video! It helped a lot but like someone else said I had a hard time seeing what you did in the up right corner of the video since it's cut off. Also I'm having an issue when I try and dock the fingers and tool layer fingers to the square, Lightburn moves the piece all the way to the edge of the workspace, not the square. This recently just started happening so I'm not sure what changed from the last time I followed your tutorial. Have you (or anyone else) experienced this? And how do I fix it?

Superb demo Mucho.
😀Exactly what I was looking for to do my own finger joints and pins.

Thanks Robert. I hope to have more Lightburn tutorial and quick tips videos coming soon.

Thanks, but if you want to be more precise, this method will give you a gap from the laser beem,
(in my laser there is 0,5mm, but if you offset both parts conture outside 0.2mm it will be perfect!

[@WilcoxWorkshop]

Thanks. It's been awhile since I did this video. Since I use Lightburn I think I use the software's 'kerf offset' feature to accomplish what you're talking about.

hi thanks so much for the video, i just didnt really get why its 6/7?

[@lucrisha2]

There are too many things you do off-screen and using hot keys without saying what you are doing! As a new user, it's not possible to follow you, and while I'm get the general idea can't follow your instructions. Very frustrating.

[@WilcoxWorkshop]

Thanks for the input. I've had the laser off for over a year. Just fired it up again and will try to take your comments in to consideration for future videos.

i just watched about 4mins of this video and i love it the way you explain everything so clear and slowly perfect to learn.thank you very much for taking the time to create this video.i sub your channel.By the way in the description there is nothing written about any hotkeys you use.Maybe You forgot them to post here by this video.It would be great also to see the complete screen and not just a part of it.I see top part of your screen until the rotary sign and then 16 squere boxes down that's it.

very helpful video i have one question how do i select the vertical and horizintal lines that follow the mouse this is a great tool for lining up ?

[@davidwilcox8801]

It's in Lightburn Settings >> Show full screen line cursor. (toggle)

[@David-ws6zr]

@@davidwilcox8801 got it this is so useful ,i learn something everyday with light burn ,hated it at first but this was down to me, but now i love it!

[@JemicoTX]

You do not have to change units. You can just type mm after the number and LB will convert for you.

[@davidwilcox8801]

Thanks. I knew you could enter expressions, like 27/2, but didn't know you could enter units for conversion.

[@NinjaHempKnight]

This works great. I was asked to design a counter top display and this is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much for learnin me something today!

[@charliebruce4132]

Good stuff - thanks

[@jimbauer6822]

Be damn nice to be able to see his cross hair cursor to see what he is doing

[@shannondefriese9598]

Thanks very much. A little fast for this noob, but I'm sure I'll get it.

[@TheDiabolicben]

Thanks!

[@guypannetier7424]

Merci. Très utile et très clair....

[@zoltan2728]

Hi! When do you adjust the kerf?

[@WilcoxWorkshop]

Sorry for the delay. I use the Kerf Offset setting in the cut layer. Some folks build it into the design and don't turn ON Kerf Offset in the cut layer.
