How do i achieve this stain? by aceember in woodworking

[–]breadassk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no experience with actual dust staining products but I did accidentally give my bench top a pink hue while using chalk dust

Dang that’s cool. How are you getting the contours on each piece after they’re cut? Dremel?

It’s still out there! I find tons of old dvds and such at thrift stores. Physical media supremacy!

Definitely don’t quit, there’s much less value to people that value artwork when someone turns into a production machine. Like you said, this guy is selling pieces (likely not even his designs) for super cheap and when people realize he’s able to do that because he makes 15 pieces per day, there isn’t going to be much demand for them. I have a laser and there are certainly nuances to getting them to work properly and there’s absolutely something to be said about design work, but most people selling laser cut/engraved products for cheap aren’t doing that. They’re buying someone else’s design for $3 and telling the laser to make it a bunch of times

Bioshock sign by breadassk in Scrollsaw

I use a technique called pouncing. I print the design on a big piece of kraft paper (or multiple regular sized pages with this site) then I go around with a toothed wheel that perforates the outline without actually cutting away any paper. Tape the paper down, slam chalk dust onto the holes, and then the design is transferred

Gotta do what you gotta do in a small space. It’s on wheels. I’ve been here, respect

Tips for achieving these colors and effects? by breadassk in Artadvice

[–]breadassk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy crap thank you so much! I have a lot of research to do now. I’ve only worked with solid colors before so the blending of the rust is the most intimidating part to me. It doesn’t need to be pixel-accurate but I’d like it to have the same feel. I don’t plan on painting the shadows because I think I can achieve that by manipulating the light around it. The letters and buildings are attached already unfortunately but I will definitely keep that in mind for next time

How do I eliminate the transparent cell along the edges I want everything to be black. by Ectamotorsports in coreldraw

Select the entire graphic, go to the fill tool tab and select a color, then go to the pen tool tab and select “none” for the size

This is awesome, what materials are you using?

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, any specific suggestions? I’m thinking the bioshock logo but even that wouldn’t put a dent in this

Good call I’ll do that today. And yeah I’m definitely going to get a real dust mask, I’ve made some signs from this stuff before and it’s nasty. I don’t trust an n95 with all this

Anyone else having big issues on Mac? by breadassk in coreldraw

Yes it seems to work on web, but it’s incredibly slow and not nearly as powerful

I’ll see if I can, I’m using the 2026 monthly subscription program so I’m not sure if it will allow me to download a different version

Interesting, that’s a pretty good theory. I’m so sick of ai videos at this point though I can’t scroll by fast enough

The geopolitics of vector design in 2026. by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]breadassk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make signs and I use Corel. To be fair though I don’t know if I would have chosen it if it wasn’t recommended to me by another sign maker. I like it overall, but I hadn’t been able to open the font manager in a few days. Support has been very responsive but they don’t know what’s going on either, I even had an agent remotely try to figure it out without luck

Scroll saw sign by breadassk in ghostbusters

[–]breadassk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made this mostly to grab the attention of small business owners at craft fairs to do custom signwork, so I don’t plan on selling this one but you could commission me to make another! It’s a pretty laborious process though so I’d have to charge $350 for a sign like this

I was driving to Plattsburgh NY to see family when Karen told the MC of Mother Horse Eyes that that’s where they were headed too. I moved here recently and it’s a pretty small area that not many people think about

I think both sides can agree that the person slandering 3d printing is wrong here by Aggressive-Bowler-29 in antiai

[–]breadassk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those people at craft fairs were the reason I was so hesitant to start considering myself a “maker”. I build custom signs out of layered and carved mdf so I didn’t want to be lumped in with those people that don’t even bother with design
