Doug,
You should be able to cut one pass with a 25 watt machine.

Yes, a single pass. I can cut 1/4 in a single pass also.

If not plywood I can cut probably 1/2 in a single pass.

25 watt --- 40ips @ .5% min speed.

Is everyone tired of my fun projects? :S I haven't heard from many who have made it. I played over the weekend and made a new design.

No, never! Keep 'em coming.

I'm having a hard time finding the baltic birch locally. I can get the plywood but I don't like the way it cuts. Is there someplace on the net I can order it?

Yes, you can order Baltic Birch on the net, but if you can get it locally it is usually much cheaper. I pay $7.33 for a 5' X 5' sheet, that is less than .30 cents a square foot.

If you know a cabinet maker ask them where they get their wood, this place will carry Baltic Birch (not always in 1/8"), but usually they can get it for you.

Also google your area for Hardwood veneer places, they will usually carry Baltic Birch.

I think the problem is our local Woodcraft store never has it in stock. Our 15 year old daughter runs a wood lathe so I'll ask at her next woodworking meeting if anyone has seen it locally. If not, I bet I could special order from Woodcraft.

Thanks and keep the creativity flowing,
Patty

I will never tire of the cool models that you create.
I built the car that you designed and it generates
alot of interest in my shop. It is a great ice-breaker for customers that are intimidated by the laser and its capabilities.
I downloaded the F15 today and will cut and assemble tonite.
Can I get the Tank model too?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Tracy

Tracy,
Thanks for the feedback, I haven't started the assembly instructions on the Tank, I can't seem to motivate myself :-( 

I'm motivated to create new designs, I think I need an in-house assembly instructions guru, but since I don't charge for them I can't pay the person. The tank has 164 pieces to it :S  I don't know what I'm going to do.

I can't just send the designs out to somebody without at least some type of starting point, I'm open for ideas :O

Tom,

You could always bypass the assembly instructions and sell the designs as a "puzzle."

I even get puzzled at times when I go back and try to assemble one of my older designs that I haven't done in a while >.<

I'm game to try and help with instructions. My daughter is away at an engineering camp this week at the university but she absolutely loves working on these. She'll be designing in CAD this week and then testing in a wind tunnel so putting these types of projects has really been an eye-opener for her. Especially when she scaled down the Eiffel Tower project. She did an awesome job of tweaking the tabs and slots for the smaller scale.

I guess I should say the eiffel tower was not my design. Someone gave me credit in a thread, but I do not know where it came from. I hope you don't think any less of me ;-) 

It is well done so I guess someone assumed it was mine, quite a nice compliment, but I try to design so the finish product has minimal glue, it sort of adds another dimension to the process- maybe that is why I take so much anti acid relief :P

What would it take to get that beautiful victorian house plan? That thing is AWESOME and I am dying to cut it!

I was aware the Eiffel Tower wasn't yours. I just shared that as an example of our daughter's scaling experience. Same idea, different designer.

I didn't realize I uploaded a picture of the Victorian House?

Maybe the 3 story Doll House plan is what you are referring to. I plan to sell those plans for $49.95, If I ever get the plans done for the Victorian I plan to sell that also.

Note: I do not display any of these products on our web site. The patterns on our web site are for products that can be made and sold in high volume, I don't believe these fun projects can become high volume laser items, but may make great gifts and create a few bucks at the craft shows. I could be totally wrong on this.

I will try to attach a picture of the Victorian for you to see.
