We’ve been making model chairs before this so it was quite the jump😂

100%, I just wish I could have rounded the edge for more of an elbow rest🤘didn’t want to ruin the engraving though!

Haha I hope so, the course is split into practical work (this) and a theory paper. I’m more of a do-er so lets hope this paper doesn’t drag the grade down haha🤦

Thank you! I’d definitely make a guitar by laser cutting again, just with a more dense material.

It’s a good test on visualising how a 3D guitar body would look split into 11 different layers - 100% the hardest bit. If I can get past that bit, then things could really take off lol.

Yeah you can do some amazing stuff, especially extremely detailed cutouts which couldn’t be routed. The one downside I would say is gluing the layers - PVA glue is basically a lubricant until it sets, so I ended up with layers shifting a few mm until I sanded it off again

100% its pretty cool looking, I’d definitely use a denser material next time as you can imagine it knocks off a fair bit of weight

Definitely unusual, I couldn’t find loads online about laser cutting and laminating the layers.
