Excellent delivery and extremely helpful training. There are a ton of videos out there but they don't get to the point, frequently. You did a great job and others could do well to follow your example of a great presentation. Thank you!

Omg!!!! I’ve seen sooo many videos about thicken the font and no one has been able to explain it well like you do! Thank you so much!! Can you share some of the fonts in the beginning of the video? Would love to add them to my collection:

Very helpful video. I have a glowforge aura so it only cuts 12". Do you have a video that shows how to cut font in 2 pieces so it's small enough to print? I hope that makes sense. What I'm trying to cut is a continuous 18" and i need to cut it in half to use the laser.

Hello! I don't have a video on here that shows this, but I'm happy to make one! Please send me an email with the file you're using and the changes you need and I can walk you through it!

Would the smooth tool be better for smoothing out the lines?

@LoBoDesigns 5 ай бұрын

The Smooth tool can help with this sometimes, but you'll lose some of the fine details. For this project, I like the look of the font as-is so smoothing it out would change the look, but it's definitely a solid tool when it's needed!
