More Minis Dollhouses Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I don't have a laser machine but depending on the amount of pieces you want done, you might be able to ask a laser cutting company like Laser Tech and see what they would charge. You might even be able to ask Greenleaf as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandan Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 I only need about 100 pieces or less depending on cost lol . I'm very small time at the moment and I just need perfect bases for my baskets . Always worth asking ;-) thanks !! You listening greenleaf ?

havanaholly Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I hand cut 1/16" wood for some 1:24 furniture parts and what finally worked for me was a very light hand and several light knife strokes, since the basswood was splitting with single strokes or curved parts.

brandan Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Been hand cutting and scroll sawing but I want perfection lol I know I'm a pain in the butt Miss you lady !!! How are you ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Very well, thanks for asking. We paddled our rear ends off last weekend, but I have crossed paddling up to Trapper Nelson's and back off my bucket list! I thought of all of you when we camped at Lake Louisa, BTW.

shannonc60 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Karen Cary offers custom laser cutting. There are a few other mini makers that offer it, I'm pretty sure, but this one came to mind first.http://www.karencary.com Do you have an ipad? I use iDesign which cost me less than $10 to make my own svg files which I use on my own die cutter (Kliknkut Zing - it's awesome!). It's easy enough to learn, and may make it cheaper to get your designs cut as the laser cutter owner wouldn't need to make up a file. Anyways, just a thought! Also Michelle's miniatures: http://michellesminiatures.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2&zenid=74e909ed5f0292e9fce1c2c832fcb04a 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalesq Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Shannon, is it iDesign by TouchAware Ltd? There are three iDesign programs that I found, but I think this is the one you are referring to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannonc60 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Yes, Deborah, that's it. There are some low points to it, but overall as a basic drawing program, it's not bad. I think if you wanted to do a lot of design, a few different apps would be beneficial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
