Make Stuff- Build Up Your Design Skills - CNC Project

In this video we look at both Illustrator & inkscape. We look at smoothing out straight pen tool paths, adding tapered ends to your lines, & applying a pattern to a path. Then to finish up the video we have an overview of my latest project an Elephant Led Wall Art & a Tv Remote Tray.

Good project. Don't know why I didn't see this before now. I AM subscribed for ALL notifications.
I use E6000 (like GOOP) 2oz size for the small nozzle to deal with issues like your LED strips. You do have to be patient and wait for it to cure. But I find GOOP and E6000 to be much more reliable than hot glue. Watching this video, I was wondering about using a CNC router or laser for Intarsia. I eventually want to do 3D reliefs (I think you call it) on the CNC.

Yeah YT can be weird like that. I get notification for some, and others i do not. Will have to look into that E6000 & GOOP.
I have not done Intarsia but looks very interesting. It would be fun trying to plan everything out and get the pieces you want on wood right to get the grain you want. I guess take a picture of your wood import it to your cad and layout the pieces over that.
Some people call it relief carving, others 2.5d carving. I have done a couple and they came out good. I just have not had a demand for it, but i have seen other cnc-ers do.
