For the ones that want to give this tutorial a try, here is the full length video. A more detailed look into Corel Draw, it´s bug´s and why i use Photoshop for certain things. Here is the link to the short version of this video: https://youtu.be/kDDHeVU07sc I recently saw an amazing piece of art in a Gallery using multiple layers of wood to recreate the topography and bathymetry of South Florida and the Keys. As i am back in the Mancave so i tried to create something similar using my K40 Laser cutter. However this project ended up in multiple days of work as for filming i needed to redo certain steps. I used Corel Draw 12 that came with the K40 to do the cutting job, unfortunately it came out that this version is quite buggy! I hope you enjoy this video and give it a try! Please let me know how your project came out! Disclaimer: Please note that the K40 is a class 4 laser product. Operating the Laser with the lid open as seen in the video is extremely dangerous! I am wearing special safety goggles while filming and monitor the machine remotely when recording timelapses. Do not attempt this with your machine! Stuff you need for this Tutorial: K40 Laser Engraver and Cutter Corel Draw 12 or higher Photoshop Elements 6 or higher Internet access 5 sheets of plywood Sandpaper and Steel wool Acrylic paints, i used differend shades of blue, green and yellow for the ocean and white, yellow, black for the island.

Starlite, Maurice Ward’s mystical substance that can withstand more than 10000 deg. celsius (18000 deg. fahrenheit) went viral in the 1970´s for the first time and again just recently on Youtube. As it is a quite interesting substance and copycat recipes can be found everywhere in the webs these days, i want to make some experiments in this video. I made a batch of Starlite, used two very simple recipes i found online and one i came up my own, using materials we use in the Special Effects industry. If my recipe works, after this video i will probably be gone to my private island as i become a millionair, if it is not working i will tell you what i came up with. Additionally i tested carbonised bread that has ssimilar characteristics, maybe a little brittle but impressively heat resistant. I want to test if the four products can withstand the power of my 40W Laser Cutter. In four experiments i try to cut and pierce Starlite disks. Will it work? I hope you enjoy!

The invisible coherent infrared laser light reflected off the working materials can be dangerous to your eyelight! You should never operate the K40 Laser with the lid open! ******************************************************************** Please Subscribe and ring the bell to get notified for new uploads ******************************************************************** If you want to support my channel, become a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MancaveEffects ******************************************************************** Social Media Links: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mancave.effects Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mancaveffects/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/EffectsMancave Webpage: https://kennix81.wixsite.com/mancaveeffects #MancaveEffects #K40Laser #Starlite ******************************************************************** Music by: Big Body - Ballpoint I Am Unbreakable - Niklas Johansson One Two Three - Mo Stacks Reign - A P O L L O Subtle Underscore 4 - Rannar Sillard Royalty Free Music from Epidemic Sound: https://goo.gl/jlJWJO ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_6fONbnIUI
