You will have to tell us more about the process.
Did the laser cutter come with instructions?
Is this a building of your own plan?
Can you purchase or make wood to replicate different types od siding?
Will you shingle the roof?
Thank you for sharing this project
Cesar looking really nice.

Cesar thats a good looking building. What is the Max size you can work with on the cutter?
Coming soon to a Micro-Mark catalog near us? (Just kidding.)
Is there a cover gas (e.g., CO2) you need to replenish from time-to-time?
Looks like fun! 'Kits by Cesar' in the future?

Wow. We all see plenty of building and layout pictures here on a daily basis. Every now and then a picture makes me stop and go "wow". This is one of those. First attempt also, great stuff.
Side note, the Epilog is USA made....many prefer this.
Hey, Cesar -
Very nice work!
From the picture, it looks like this is the laser you used, correct?

What is the kerf? (When you cut a circle, how much play is there when you fit the disc into the hole from where it was cut?)
Thx!

Yes, it came with all the instruction. Youtube is also a tremendous help. I winged the bldg, just experimenting. You can program it to simulate verticle paneling, brick etc...Haven't decided on roof right now.
Cool stuff. Is that laser from work or for yourself? Those things are expensive for just personal use…
Thanks Dave. Work purposes.
Cesar looking really nice.
Thanks Alex!

HMMMM, M-M catalog? One never knows It is a CO2, 60Watt. I'm going to make kits\structures for the layout first. I'd like to get proficient at it before any consideration of distribution.

Thanks Alex! Yes that is the model. There is only .002 per side on the cut. The circle I cut out is .534 and the hole is .538

Thanks Alan! We'll talk soon!

Really neat, Cesar.
I wonder if they'll take my scroll saw in trade for a laser cutter!

The miniture hinges are a very nice detail.
I am thinking next Year you will have a table in the ORANGE HALL
Cesar, That looks very nice. Can you also do roofing? Will it do a brick pattern also?
