That's amazing that you draw the lines by hand! Thank you for the tutorial!
Hi there, glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for tuning in! ⚡️
Thanks for sharing. “Ok my arms are tired” 😂
the way i make my maps is with just 3 layers. The Base for the water, the 2nd layer is the residential streets with all the water bodies cut out, and 3rd layer is the main highways and arterial roads with main boarder and name of city down the bottom. you want to save as much material as possible.
Wow, that is amazing. A lot of work, great result.
Hi Bruce, thanks for tuning in!
Beautiful project! Thanks for the very detailed and entertaining tutorial.
That’s amazing, well done

Tracing by hand? I do not have the patience. What about illustrator? lightburn? Tracing functions.
Hi Kelly! That is how Christina chooses to create her maps, however you can use whatever method you find easiest to create your own designs. Here's a link to posts Glowforge owners have made discussing map software in the community forum that might be helpful: community.glowforge.com/search?q=map%20software. -Ellen
Do you have to use Maple Proofgrade™ Plywood or just any plywood ?
Hi there, you can see our different Proofgrade Plywood here: shop.glowforge.com/collections/plywood . I hope this helps!
