Bless you!!! Thank you for this video. I appreciate all the details you have provided, especially including all the materials that you have used. I will be receiving my laser soon. I look forward to being able to make signs like this. 😊
@@LaserAndLearn Thanks! And do you finish the project with anything or just use the plywood as it (both names and backing). Sorry for questions I am a beginner
Is there a difference between Oh Juliya and Oh Juliya updated? Google didn't find an updated version. First time I've watched you. Great information thanks for sharing.
@@LaserAndLearn I recently downloaded the regular Oh Juliya after watching this video and I cant find any of those tail characters that you have in your CharMap in my CharMap...so I think there must be a difference
Amazing video thank you! What are you using for the backing it's super nice, walnut plywood? Or birch plywood you stain for example? Or a pine board you stained? So many ideas.
I typically use 1/4 inch mdf plywood. Redoak I stain or sometimes use walnut. I have a different video on where I get my wood if you want to check it out
I just found your videos. And oh my goodness. Su CB a great job!! If there’s too much taking I usually tune out. Lol. Does a compressor really make a difference? I have a Mira 7 (about 3 months) and I get a lot of that charring. I could also be my settings. Still a lot to learn. Thank you again!!
Excellent video on making a beautiful sign. I am just learning laser engraving. You said your material is pre-finished so you don't have to mask it. What is the pre-finish and does it come like that or do you apply it. Also what is wood you use for the background. Thankyou very much.
Great question! I buy that wood prefinished but you can also use a lacquer to come off clean too like what I used for the backing board. The most common woods I use for the backing are stained red oak or walnut. Thanks for watching!
So designing was 5 minutes, engraving was about 15, staining and assembling was probably 10 or so, so maybe 30 minutes to make the sign. I have charged anywhere from $30-$50 for a 19x6 sign
Just found your channel. Love your explanations! Keep making these types of videos. I just ordered a monport 60 watt CO2. How many watts is your laser? I’ve had an xtool diode for about 8 months. I love Smokey hills patternply.
My glowforge is 40 watts and my mira ( in this video) is 90 watts. 60 watts is a great laser too! Can do up to half inch I'm sure at the right speed. I LOVE smokey hill. Use their material all the time
Hey! I use 1/4 inch walnut or stained red oak from smokey hill laser designs mostly. For the top I use 1/8 inch or 1/4 inch maple. I use mdf plywood with the veneers of those.
I have a windows so I just typed it into my search bar on the main page of my computer and was able to find it. Then just change it to the font you want
Lol, I have a ring light that I used at time, but definitely doesn't work for all circumstances. Been looking at others, but good ones are expensive! Soon!
@@LaserAndLearn yeah it’s like 280$ for 12” x 180’. I really wanted to try the stuff. I may just add on a couple bucks to the price. Glueing is becoming such a pain
Yes love the video. Easy to follow. I will be trying. You show how to use the software. Thank you
Thank you for sharing this I am retired and going to purchase a laser to start a side business so this was very helpful!
That is sooooo beautiful!! Thanks for the tutorial!!! Love it!!!
Bless you!!! Thank you for this video. I appreciate all the details you have provided, especially including all the materials that you have used. I will be receiving my laser soon. I look forward to being able to make signs like this. 😊
Thanks so much for your feedback! Good luck on your laser journey and let me know if you have additional questions
4:08 God bless you!
thanks for making this very helpful video. Where do you go to find this "character map" you mention?
I typed it in the search by at the bottom left of my pc. Then I found the font I was using and went from there!
Thank you for explaining.... Can't wait to try .....
Hi there, love your video. Can you tell me if you ordered that M3 paper from amazon or something? If so, can you share a link? ^^
Thank you for this great tutorial.
Thanks for watching
Great piece.
Thank you! What type f woods are you using? Pre-finished Baltic birch and what is the backing? an oak board with walnut oil-stain? Thank you!
Yes! I use maple ply with an mdf core for the names and either red oak stained or walnut mdf for the backing!
@@LaserAndLearn Thanks! And do you finish the project with anything or just use the plywood as it (both names and backing). Sorry for questions I am a beginner
Thanks for sharing they are very nice
Good video. Bless you. I guess you forgot to edit that part out.
It came out great
Hey. Where did you get the 3M backing tape?
Is there a difference between Oh Juliya and Oh Juliya updated? Google didn't find an updated version. First time I've watched you. Great information thanks for sharing.
I found that there were more characters on update. I got the update directly from the designer on design bundles. I think either one is fine
@@LaserAndLearn I recently downloaded the regular Oh Juliya after watching this video and I cant find any of those tail characters that you have in your CharMap in my CharMap...so I think there must be a difference
Very nice!!!
Thank you for sharing. This is adorable. How many names have you been able to put onto one piece?
I sometimes do 2 rows and so I have been able to do 12 before
Amazing video thank you! What are you using for the backing it's super nice, walnut plywood? Or birch plywood you stain for example? Or a pine board you stained? So many ideas.
I typically use 1/4 inch mdf plywood. Redoak I stain or sometimes use walnut. I have a different video on where I get my wood if you want to check it out
Do you have a link to where I can get the font that you used for the names?
I just found your videos. And oh my goodness. Su CB a great job!! If there’s too much taking I usually tune out. Lol.
Does a compressor really make a difference? I have a Mira 7 (about 3 months) and I get a lot of that charring. I could also be my settings. Still a lot to learn. Thank you again!!
Yes! Air compressor helps reduce char. I added mine and never looked back! Thanks for watching!
Where or what wood do you use to place the name on?
I use red oak or walnut with an mdf core. I have a separate video where I talk about where I get wood 😊
Thank you for this video. I just got my Mira 9 and have so much to learn. Where do you get your 3M?
Sorry for the late response I get mine from tcg laser blanks!
Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Love this! Where do you get a backer board like that?
I stain red oak or use walnut most of the time!
Thanks so much for the great video. Can I ask where you get the 3M 2-Sided Tape that was on the back of the sign?
Sure! I get mine from tcg laser blanks!
How do you display the character map?
Excellent video on making a beautiful sign. I am just learning laser engraving. You said your material is pre-finished so you don't have to mask it. What is the pre-finish and does it come like that or do you apply it. Also what is wood you use for the background. Thankyou very much.

How long did that sign take from start to finish? And what would you charge for a similar size sign?
So designing was 5 minutes, engraving was about 15, staining and assembling was probably 10 or so, so maybe 30 minutes to make the sign. I have charged anywhere from $30-$50 for a 19x6 sign

Nice Job, I have a Quistion, Where I can find the Font that you used, Oh Juliya Update?
I found it either on design bundles or creative fabrica, can't remember which!
Im trying to find a program that helps make a few mock up products to give them options to buy for clients. What kind of program do you use please?
I design in Inkscape and lightburn, but I know others use Adobe illustrator, silhouette for business, and Corel draw
@LaserAndLearn legend thanks for the tip. Going to give it a go. Love your channel keep it up 👍🏾
where is character map?
Could you please show us where you download "oh Juliya updated" fonts?
I think I downloaded it from design bundles
How thick is the wood used for the letters and also the backing? Also, do you get it from Ocooch Hardwoods or someplace else? Thank you.
So I use 1/4". Also, I almost exclusively use plywood. So I usually get it from my local supplier, smokeyhilldesigns.com, craft closet, or gs2 awards
@@LaserAndLearn Great. Thank you.
Hi there! What wood do you use?

Bless you! 🤧lol
Hope you can make it! Let me know if you have any other questions
Can i do this on my glowforge aura
I would probably do 1/16 inch wood but probably!
Where is the character map located?
I have a windows so I just typed it into my search bar on the main page of my computer and was able to find it. Then just change it to the font you want
Great job but get youself a stand for you phone
Lol, I have a ring light that I used at time, but definitely doesn't work for all circumstances. Been looking at others, but good ones are expensive! Soon!

I type in character map in the search function of my PC and I find it! Should come with all fonts you download and have
That 3m tape be out of control these days!!!
With regards to price?
@@LaserAndLearn yeah it’s like 280$ for 12” x 180’. I really wanted to try the stuff. I may just add on a couple bucks to the price. Glueing is becoming such a pain
