I really do enjoy watching your videos. We have a shop with laser engravers, UV printers and many other tools. We’re good at what we do, but I must say that techniques like this and how you executed illustrates that we’re nowhere near an expert level. You’ve made us look like hacks! Had to watch three times. Blown away.

@@jksjrgfpsjgr in embossing stamps I cut a small hole on edges of both parts, but after aligning when I try it on paper - many times I see that parts aren't precisely aligned. On this calendar, where are many small details and big size of the project, aligning isn't so simple like it looks on the video. Also author warns about it.

To achieve a “pocket” for the inlay, how deep should the inicial engraving be?

This will depend on the thickness of the veneer; measure the veneer thickness, then test your laser parameters to find the settings to achieve that depth with some testing.

I presume to do any type of inlay, you need to have laser kerf settings nailed down tight?

@davidstevens2577 11 ай бұрын

No kerf compensation is needed at all because the laser beam used is only 0.005 inches in diameter.

@LucasHartmann Жыл бұрын

Using aluminum foil may be an option to hold the inlay in place while engraving. CO2 lasers usually have no effect on aluminium regardless how thin it may be, and should still be easily sanded away. Would be easier to tune.

@davidstevens2577 9 ай бұрын

That is an interesting idea! Using a 3M double-sided tape to adhere the veneer to the aluminum foil, I will have to try that!

Powder coating would yield a different-looking effect that is not inlay or a flush finish; you can see the powder coating process here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9ymlKSnvbDdlWQ.htmlsi=FKRFea7i3Q__bMBn The essence of this procedure is for high-end applications; it's the allure of the natural wood grain within the inlay and the unparalleled quality that takes precedence. After all, exceptional quality yields exceptional returns.

@davidstevens2577 9 ай бұрын

Yes, there was a bit of bleeding due to the species of wood and glue type used; please note that the image at the time you specify was also highly magnified, and if you zoom in enough, anything can begin to look bad; to the naked eye, this bleeding is not noticeable. To completely resolve this, the engraving can be spread with a clear coating before combining the inlays, eliminating this issue.

OK that is nice work but why cant you just fill the inlay with saw dust mixed with glue or some putty instead of cutting out the inversion and backing tape and all the settings, I mean if you do one that's fine but I would make a paste with fine powder dust with the dark fill material and just paste it on and sand it off. less room for error and repeatable many times over. you could do 100 that way in the time it would take you to do 10 with the laser.

@davidstevens2577 6 ай бұрын

Undoubtedly, one can utilize dust paste for a quicker inlay fill, but this will produce an utterly different-looking effect. The essence of this procedure isn't about speed or volume. In high-end applications, it's the allure of the natural wood grain within the inlay and the unparalleled quality that takes precedence. After all, exceptional quality yields exceptional returns.

@jaycal1920 6 ай бұрын

I understand that, it just seems like some of the work is so fine that you wouldn't notice the wood grain in it. maybe you would but then what would stop you from just printing a dye over a blank board to get a similar effect? OK ink bleed etc. It just seems there would be an easier way. But after all is said and done I can see how this would differ from all the others. I see what you mean.@@davidstevens2577
