After watching the video start to finish 3 times, I'm excited to try it with a panel for my son. But to be on the safe side, I'll watch it a couple more times. Loved the video tutorial.
Interesting how you layout your vectors. I find grouping vectors, cutting one big pocket and filling it with the largest color is faster and works better. Grouping colors you don't want your background in and treating them like a new background will give you a cleaner finished product.
Mate, it looks awesome, and yes patience is a must. On a different note, All of the signs in your workshop, I'm assuming you have done them at different times with your CNC's. Really nice looking projects
Do you stabilize your wood with any products? I was wondering if the differing rates of expansion/contraction of the plastic and wood has any effect on the inlay.
No, it hasnt been stabilized. This one is pretty stable. There is another one that we done which has warped but the epoxy still seems ok (dont know for how long though!)
Great Tutorial. Instead of clearing out the whole of the black background area, could you have just limited this to the areas that would show as black in the final version? Just thinking about saving time and money!
My opinion yes you could but you are going to waste time and also everytime you change the the bit you have to recalibrate. Doing it at last seems the most practical.
Most definitely. I didn't and had a large build up which in theory, Carveco didn't know was there so would have to set a high Safe Z which possibly wasted more time that skimming it in stages.
Brilliant work and brilliant tutorial 👏
Thank you so much, James! 😁

Better to be safe than sorry 🤷♂️😅 Glad you've enjoyed it (three times) !!

What's lower than a rookie? That's me! Excellent explanation of the process from basic to complex and then Holy S**t. Beautiful work
your level of risk acceptance is far greater than mine. that's very impressive work.
Super good ❤❤
Fantastic
What did you coat over it at the very end? Does mineral oil look ok on epoxy?
Awesome!

Thanks! Yes, they're all our past projects. They cover our walls in both our workshop and office.
Super!
Amazing work! I would love to have a go at something so intricate, would you mind sharing the original .png file so I can make a trace myself, please?

An this be done in maker or just carveco?
This was done in Maker.
What kind of bit are you using for the surfacing pass?
It's a Whiteside surfacing bit - routercutter.co.uk/spoilboard-surfacing-635mm-shank

Yes, absolutely, I just didnt want to deal with parts of the wood show through and any overlapping vectors.
im literally 2 of those 10 requests
Sorry it took two requests, but we heard you!! Hope you enjoy the tutorial. 😁
Can you do a surfacing pass between epoxy pores
My opinion yes you could but you are going to waste time and also everytime you change the the bit you have to recalibrate. Doing it at last seems the most practical.

@@Carveco That makes sense, thanks for sharing
