I figured that i would post one of my first projects that turned out decent. I did this several months ago. Take's only a few minutes once u have the template to type in any word u want. Family last name, Event, Wedding, In any font. This probably should of gone in the sign section, But i figured since i was using a laser engraver to fabricate the sign it would be appropriate to let other engraver get a idea from it. 255836
The sign uses 2 layers. One to cut out the orange part. One to cut out the black layer. Then it is glued on with wood glue. Interesting application when u have to make a sign for a customer to put on his deck.. If this thread has to be moved then that is fine. I used cheap birch wood. Looks very professional and nice.
I pre painted the wood sheets prior to cutting.... I later figured out that if u cut and then paint it looks allot nicer. In corel draw when i merged the lines together for the border of the text and rounded rectangle i use the virtual segment delete to edit out the part of the hairlines that would normally be vector cut. U also have to weld "Convert to curves", And breka apart ""Or a combination of both" Depends on what your trying to accomplish.
I have attached the corel draw file so people can look at it. I know that the work is amateur at best . I thought i would add other resources to the forum that beginners could start off with. If i had more tools to work with at the beginning the learning curve goes allot faster.
