I'm open to someone trying this idea. We had a furniture maker turn 2 smaller pieces into matching end tables which finished up great.

or, or put it in a mold and fill it with Epoxy resin >_>

Thanks. Your comment is so much different than your last one - haha.

haha thanks a bunch!

Thanks a bunch Mike. If you have any particular questions, let me know. It may influence future videos. -Phil.

Hey hey, thanks Jacob!

Awwwww thanks a bunch. Glad you like the video and the work.

Nice! Glad you enjoy the work so much!

Thanks a bunch Luis!

Glad you enjoy the work. It would be fun to create more. I'm finding that the process takes so much time that making videos is difficult. Might have to figure it out.

@Thomas Andersen Mostly White Birch and Mahogany plywood.

Thanks Pam!

Many thanks!

Haha you are kind, thanks.

Thanks. I appreciate that.

Yeah, I'm dead off this!!! You've taken multi-layers waaaaayyyyy past Level 9000!!

Hey, thanks a bunch. Glad you enjoy the work. -Phil.

Thanks for the kind words D.J.

Haha, thats awesome. Glad you love the work so much and I hope your Zephyr is doing awesome.

Haha. Thank you.

Glad you like it!

Nice! Yeah, we almost burned down the studio making those. Whoops. They were pretty popular so it was a bummer when we stopped making them. Did you find this video through the American Craft Council Mag?

No' KZfaq thought I'd be interested and it came up. Glad it happened though!!

Oh nice! Even better @@johnpunith507

Thanks a bunch Ajay.

Hey, you are kind. Thank you.

@@Philip-Roberts I'm an artist myself, I know how much support means.

Огромное спасибо

Haha. Believe it!

Hey, thanks Steve.

Hey thanks a bunch.

Thanks a bunch!

Thanks a bunch Jain!

Thanks thanks.

Thanks, you're kind.

Haha. I like this comment.

@@Philip-Roberts thank you, but it's true.. ☺️

Yeah, my oven is pretty sweet too but I can't bake to save my life!

Hey! That is awesome. How did you come to find my work in the first place?

@@Philip-Roberts Researching in KZfaq about multi-layered decorations. Deciding if I want to jump into the lasering thing.

Ei, obrigado pelo incentivo.

Thanks Jean!

Hey thanks!

Good luck! Glad you enjoy the work.

Hey, thanks a bunch. Glad you like the work.

Michael, I very much appreciate this. Thanks for that. -Phil.

Thanks thanks.

haha thanks.

Thanks a bunch Wassou!

Hey, thanks a bunch. Glad you enjoy the work. I hope to SOMEDAY travel through India. Seems like beautiful country.

Awesome - Glad to hear it. I've had a couple people use my work as a diffuser which is fantastic. By the way, love your music! - Phil.

Just takes a while. Thanks.

Haha, I love the honesty.

@@Philip-Roberts Thanks for the inspiration, your work is amazing

Hey Glad you like it.@@FortessOfMind

haha. Nice.

Hey thanks a bunch! Sorry for the delay.

Bombastic? I think that is the first time I've received that compliment - thanks.

I'm glad to hear you enjoy the work. At the current moment I do not sell my vector files. However, it has crossed my mind to do so. Maybe you can help make this happen. How much would you be looking to spend on vectors files. How many layers, size, style, etc. Are there examples out there that you enjoy? Thanks for the help. Phil.

look on google, the are sites and many vectors to sell, prices from 5-20 $ ,vectors of mandala and many many other stuffs. I will buy some too, but also i've found a graphic designer,who will make designs for me, elaborated ones, not like those found here and there(many wont sell the files, cause then you will make competition,better plywood materials,better prices,specially if you work as hobby, not as money maker and so on,Others ask for cuts on every sale you make, or to pay some kind of percent,licence )... So, search for free files,exists. or with small amount of $ ,and read terms of use, some sell them without futher demands... i'm just start to buy all neccesary for this kind of work, ill do it as hobby,i found some very good plywood providers, many types, not only poplar,oak or birch. So good luck. So your researches, in 3 weeks i discovered a lot of "secrets",wich not every artist will share(some of them dont want competition :) , get it ? )...

Thanks!!!

Thanks Matttt!!

Well thanks a bunch Margie. I appreciate the encouragement.

Hey thanks! You'll get the hang of it as long as you enjoy the ride.

Glad you enjoy the work Mr. Raffles.

Hey, I'm happy to hear this.

Hey thanks. Would love to explore Indonesia someday. Appears to be a super beautiful country.

Thanks!

Thanks a bunch Cats!

@@Philip-Roberts you're welcome sir , you deserve all the best for your stuning art , i was making a little search in youtube to how make this kind of mandalas but most of the videos doesn't help , so could you please tell me what's the software are using to make this mandalas and are there any possibility to sell this file

@@cats1928 Gotcha, no worries. I do not sell my vectors as I create the artwork 100% from start to finish. There are tons of vectors for sale out there. However, I might recommend you try to make them yourself.

@@Philip-Roberts to be honest i have made a lot of them but i loved yours you're a real artist , and am just an architect who fall in love with his laser cutter anyway thanks a lot for your help my best regards sir

Haha, I often think the same! Actually, I do need to raise the prices a bit given the current pricing of plywood and lack of supply. Glad you like the work.

Gracias por las palabras amables. ¡Me alegro de que disfrutes el trabajo y tal vez debería subir algo más!

Haha. I love the enthusiasm. Thanks.

@@Philip-Roberts no problem! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

True. I wish it wasn't so much hands on work as well. Takes so much longer than I thought it would when starting. Oh well!

This is something I'd love to do in the future. However, it is super slow and boring. The trick is to simply create 12 or so layers in your program and design on all 12 as you create the work.

@@Philip-Roberts I kind of get it I saw it in the video a little bit. One more question for you how do you deal with the air assist lifting pieces off the honeycomb? Do you turn it off when you're cutting?

@@soorenaaslani7491 Sorry to step in here, there are a few ways to handle this. Firstly air assist should be used at different PSI for different tasks. For example 20PSI or so should be used for cutting while 3-4 PSI used for engraving. If you are doing really small designs you may have to worry about the design moving around but for larger stuff like he does, the weight of it is likely not so as much of a problem. Lastly you can use work piece clamps to hold your material down and order your cuts so that the final outside piece is cut last. so work withing the confines of your material and make the outside cut your last cut so the laser isn't moving the piece around when its going back and fourth to cut out the details in the middle. Hope that makes since.

Haha. I've been called worse! Thanks. Hope to one day see Uzbekistan.

@@Philip-Roberts I'll write you my number. if you will be in Uzbekistan call or write to me. you will be our guest. we will show you Uzbekistan.

@@user-nl2dw4ki7s Excellent!

Thanks a bunch! I use illustrator as that was the program that I knew best prior to using laser cutters. However, any vector program will work well with Laser cutters and a bunch of them are even free.

اشكرك كثيرا. سعيد لسماع أنك تستمتع بالعمل الفني.

No worries at all! Hope you're doing alright.

That would be fun.

👍👍👍

Thanks Jons. Me neither! Hhaa.

We're always on the hunt for better adhesives. We'll find the perfect one someday.

I just use illustrator as that was the program that I knew best prior to using laser cutters. However, any vector program will work well with Laser cutters and a bunch of them are even free. I plug a drawing tablet (outdated wacom) into my computer.

Thanks. Glad you enjoy the work. I have the 4x8 machine from boss but it was an older model they had laying around. I severely regret agreeing to take that one off their hands. I wish I had gone with a "normal" unit.

Amazing artworks. I thought the 4x8 is better for you because you have large sizes. Which size of the cutter would be optimal in your opinion? Thanks for the video.@@Philip-Roberts

@@NguyenHaiNhi75 Well, it totally depends on what you're looking to do.

Haha. They are all portals, maybe.

Thanks ✌️ Glad you like it.

We have used about every glue under the sun and are STILL searching for the perfect solution. Glue is one of the most delicate parts of the process for sure!

@@Philip-Roberts awesome thanks! I've been using Titebond 2 extend with a foam roller and got the best results yet but v tricky and stressful nonetheless.

Glad you enjoy the work. If I had to buy a laser cutter now, I'd have to start from scratch with research.

Cutting stone would be awesome but I have not tried it yet.

огромное спасибо

Light plays a huge part, you are spot on.

Thanks a bunch Aanchal. I use stain from a local store. Nothing special.

Really thin 3-layer plywood. When all the layers are finished, she is about 1.5inches thick
