Hey y’all!
Fairly new member to DMS & i only deal with Leathercraft.
** Forgive me if this isn’t posted in the right category**
My question is I have a lot of templates for items I make (bags, wallets, purses, etc…) who would be the best person to reach out or contact with i wanted some assistance with laser cutting my paper templates into Acrylic templates. Or even pay someone to do this if that is preferred / optional.
I appreciate all the help on this one!
Thanks y’all!

As a fairly new member you will need to get checked out/signed off to use the lasers:
Hello, I am a new member and I would like to please do a Laser Basics training. I don’t see one on the schedule, but I have been checking it for the last few weeks. Is anyone available to do the class, or show me the basics one on one?

Charlie C.

Have you ever heard of Router Templates?
They are used to add shapes to wooden items. Shapes like handles on charcuterie boards, outlines of cartoon characters, and inlays. This class takes you from zero to awesome in a single night. You even take home your very own Bunny that you will make using this method. Save $20-$30 each time you create a new design vs purchasing templates from a vendor. Who knows, maybe selling router laser templates can be your new side gig.

You can cut veg tan leather using the lasers. As for the templates, have you digitized them?
Thank you very much! I will definitely check those topics out!
I have them saved only as a PDF for when i need to re-print them ( due to accidently shaving off or edges getting worn from use)
Great! The software the lasers use will allow you to import pdfs
