I'm look for tips on how to design for multi layered art such as the artist Martin Tomsky or Gabriel Schama. I've been using Inkscape to learn how to work with my co2 40w Laser. And I want to tackle this technique.
I would love to collect tutorials and tips in this thread to reference back to in the future. I look forward to what the Inkscape community has to say on the topic.
Oh wow, I've never seen woodworking exactly like that before - that's gorgeous! I've seen things like filigree before, but that's like a whole new level!
While I somewhat have a handle on tutorials around the community, I haven't seen any tutorials for this. However, it's my understanding that various forums for different cutter software or maker labs or makerspaces often have tutorials that cover the whole process, for different machines or labs, and not just the Inkscape part.
Of course Inkscape could be used to draw the paths for cutting, and we could help you learn how to draw the paths, and get them ready for the cutter. But we would not be able to help you with the cutter. Our help would pretty much end with sending the paths to the cutter.
So I would suggest just diving into internet searches. Like "inkscape multi layered woodcutting" or something like that. Or maybe use yor particular cutting machine into the search terms too. If you can't find any dedicated tutorial for that, come back here, and we'll do our best.
I gosh, I'd love to try that! Too bad I don't have any kind of cutter....🙄
I've searched for basic tutorials on the topic. Actually came here to this forum thinking someone may have already asked the question. And that's when I discovered the brand new forum! Love it.
So far everything looks like a manual process. And I've seen the path offset features to help in this. As found in this thread at the glowforge community.
Here is an artist discussing doing it with paper and basic geometric shapes.
The line work of mine that I want to translate over to this technique is more akin to Martin Tomsky's work. But I also want to accomplish some of the geometric and mandala type work as well.
As I discover new tutorials I can come back and add to this thread. And maybe one day I will get a better understanding of how to do this in Inkscape and I can make a tutorial to help others. :)
Hey buddy, Woodworking is not just a hobby for some, it's a passion that many take pride in.
When it comes to beginners woodworking, you need to understand that you don't have to rush suddenly to create things that you see in a random woodworking video. It's going to take a lot of patience and spending time with beginners woodworking tools
You can read that article on Woodworking Basics .You will get good idea about basic woodworking.
After getting basic idea and setting up your workshop you are eligible to do multi level woodworking.
Now to get good understanding of this multi-layer work to can watch this video :-
