    I have only been lasering for a couple of months and although there are lots of people doing tutorials, I must admit you are the one I watch and listen to. You seem to explain thing a lot more succinctly and make it easier to follow. Many thanks for the time you put into your video's and I look forward to many more. Steve in the UK.

    • @TheLouisianaHobbyGuy
      @TheLouisianaHobbyGuy  ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow! Thank you so much Steve! I really appreciate it! I'm a slow learner, so I try and explain it to myself the way I would learn it the best. I often have to practice several times for it to sink in, which is why I usually do a technique several times in a video.

    As a regular user of Lightburn (and other design programs), quite often I need a reminder on how to do things like this. A series of 2 minute memory joggers would be a great idea.

    • @TheLouisianaHobbyGuy
      @TheLouisianaHobbyGuy  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, but I can't say hello in 2 mins 🤪 let alone explain the process. And probably 95% of folks watching would have no idea what I'm talking about and ask for a longer version 🤓

    Now that I've got it all set up, your videos will certainly lead the way for me as I learn to use it. It's just a TS-3 but with a super charged exhaust and adjustable air assist. Wanted to eliminate anything and everything that could go wrong before I started...Thanks, and please do realize that you're right on track when it comes to "long winded" as you say...I mean right on track in the way that everything is explained in detail slowly and perfectly for those who want to learn. I'll be the next guy in line recommending you for any beginner I'm sure...

Could you do a video explaining how to use all the features/shortcuts available while node editing? Things like extend and smooth sound cool but I don't know what they are supposed to do or how they work! Thanks for your consideration.

    Thanks so much for this, Rich! I've learned a ton from your awesome tutorials. I am trying to set up a 3 track cribbage board using this method for hole placement. I wondered if there is an easy way to do an offset inward for the subsequent tracks' holes, keeping them aligned with first track (or to shift them in anyway, if possible)? It's a coffee mug-shaped board, so it's wonky. Thanks for any insight you can offer.

One ends up with the 'Base Shape' that you can't delete without the 'Text' going back to a 'Straight Line' .... ????? In the last example you did HERE .... The 'Random Line' .... Can one place 'TEXT' along That Line and then delete the 'Base Line' in the same way that you did the 'Stars' .... Thanks, I really Appreciate ALL your Wonderful 'Tutorials' .... So well explained .... Cheers to You and ALL from ChCh, NZ ..... Keith

      The snap function is always active Deb. You can define the settings in the Device Settings, the wrench and screwdriver icon.

  • @rebeltaz123
    @rebeltaz123 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm just wondering if there is a specific reason for ensuring that the shape is aligned to the second shapes' origin? I ask because, just for test, I did this with a large circle with a smaller circle around it. I snapped the small circle to the larger one (after converting it to a path) , and ran the "copy along path" function. It worked as you showed (never knew about this, so thank you for that) and THEN I checked to see where the origin was. Sure enough, I didn't have the shape anywhere near the origin of the circle. Just wondering if that does matter for some reason I'm not seeing? Thanks!

    • @TheLouisianaHobbyGuy

    Enjoy your video's. I am just a brand new (OLD) explorer oof laser technology. I am contemplating purchase of a laser but wanted to know more about how to use the tool. To that end I was thinking that I would download the 30 day trial of lightburn to explore using it. My question is will it woe=rk without having the laser and will there be challenges to syncing it to a tool when I get one?

      I do lots of drawing with the mouse. Click, drag just a bit and let go and keep dragging and moving, clicking, dragging, and than moving. It takes some time to learn, but once you do, it works really well.
